Various BioShock games get a 2K Launcher calling it a 'Quality of Life Update'

So is there no way to make the native version work again?

I recently started replaying the game, but now I'm away from my desktop computer, so I can't check. I've encountered some slowdowns with the native version and it always crashed on exit, so I switched to proton, but it would be sad if it was gone forever.

Concerning the game itself: I hate the checkpoint-based save system with only one slot. I know you can somehow go back via the chapter select system in new game plus, but that is not the same. After I've noticed that I've missed one infusion, I'm not sure whether I should continue that playthrough or start at the beginning.

Unless you need to be able to access something in a dual boot setup. Otherwise avoid.

Quoting: clatterfordslimYou will notice some frame drops to begin with, but once you buy some web swing skills with XP points, the frame rates go up and up.
This sounds interesting. Is that a coincidence or is there a causal relationship?

I've never seen the blue roads bug, but I've only played the game one free weekend some time ago until I finally bought it this year.

There is https://www.archlinux.de/ [External Link], it seems to be up to date, but the package descriptions are not translated.

YouTube thought my Steam Deck video was 'harmful and dangerous'

Quoting: randylFor channel authors YouTube may suck, but for consumption YouTube is pretty good.
It depends. The next video recommendations have a tendency to point towards conspiracy theories, dangerous crafts hacks and other weird stuff.

Some of the age gate flags are very weird. A few years ago people started abusing the system to soft ban some music videos by a German TV station that made fun of Putin although there wasn't anything age sensitive at all.

Quoting: lectrodeIt would be interesting to know exactly what in the video caused it to do that.
Maybe the discussing changelog. Too much text on the screen. It seems that many of the videos that instruct the viewers in questionable methods of software acquisition write URLs in a text editor.

Quoting: Craggles086Doesn’t China own Tangent?
Do you mean Tencent? If yes, then yes.

Embracer, Microsoft, Tencent with Epic (and Valve) are the likely survivors.

Quoting: BlackBloodRumMy point was that people (such as yourself) often believed that enterprise level distros were pointless even for servers (…)
That's really insulting and bordering on defamation. Please don't put words in my mouth that I'd never say.

Quoting: CyborgZetaBut wouldn't running games, and programs/applications in general, inside containers fix this kind of issue? Isn't that one of the goals of Flatpak?
You wouldn't be able to use things like the nvidia graphics driver anymore unless you'd include a matching version as well. And then you'd have to fix the kernel.

Yes, obviously. But my point was that the supposedly stable things have large caveats as well and it is really not related to the current issue at all to constantly state that rolling release distribution break everything constantly. This is not an issue of rolling vs frozen distribution.

I don't think things like this breakage can be tested automatically since you'd have to create so many obscure test cases that the effort would make it infeasible.
