Quoting: BlooAlienPersonally I've had nothing but good luck with Halo: Master Chief Collection via Proton so far, in both single-player and non-EAC multiplayer co-op with friends, but I'm still quite happy to hear they're actually trying to put the finishing touches on making it "complete".

I get bugs fast-forwarding replays. Determinism issues?

I wish there was a plit screen mode though. Plus, that would work right away!
I guess the more complex part with that is account management. Maybe a good opportunity to introduce "loadouts" that include character customization, or save slots/profiles?

Ah, I thought the game was being made free :)

I've had it since EA, but never really took time to play it.

Quoting: SchattenspiegelWhat a good opportunity to show that one is not willing to give them money until they address the mess they have made recently.

I'd buy it, but set 2K to 0.

Then, I own most of these already...

I commented yesterday on the Infinite update thread. More than 1k angry comments and zero likes on the announcement...

Well, then would Risk of Rain (and the second) qualify?

Reminds me a bit of Ubermosh too :)

:grin:

Really, sarcasm and irony is unusable on the internet. There's just too many who'd seriously mean what's said as a joke - regardless of what's being said :D

That's why there have been sarcasm marks since the dawn of networked text communication: http://www.jargon.net/jargonfile/e/emoticon.html [External Link]

(Maybe not the best example, I remember another jargon file asking to put a smiley or other sarcasm indicator like /s after sarcasm). Edit: more specifically, the argument was: a lot of people read these messages. Even if 100 people understand the joke, the 101th might not, and reply with an annoyed answer.

Quoting: wolfyrionWhat is the status of VR in Linux? (plug and play?)

Shall I buy Valve Index VR Kit or wait for something newer from Valve?

Performance depends on your GPU and drivers a lot. Not sure async reprojection is supported everywhere.

I was able to play some on my R9 Fury, it was mostly smooth, if a bit laggy at times, and log load times. Didn't play anything serious though.

Quoting: finaldestInteresting, I should grab this game however, Can this game be played on the go with friends?

Forgive me for sounding stupid here as I don't normally play multiplayer games or co op games, But how does co-op play work on the steam deck if outside with friends?. Do the deck units link via WI-fi? or are we talking about traditional online play only?

I only ask this as I see co-op as a experience when you are actually with your friends and not online. Valve should implement such a feature to allow at least 4 steam deck users to link their decks to play co-op. If not possible then maybe they could implement this feature in a hardware attachment such as a hub unit.

Ah, interesting bit for the WLAN. It would be nice to have a builtin option, although one can use a phone access point or domestic wi-fi, or even a deck as an access point (requires some config).

Otherwise, just connect multiple controllers (like a pair of joy-con over bluetooth). And maybe hook up the deck to a TV for a larger screen. That's what couch co-op is about.

I've seen that game before, it seemed a bit bland compared to overcook, but hopefully it continues improving! Overcook works nicely too, although it took some fidling with Proton versions, and the Steam Xinput API can be buggy at times.

LSB was a good idea. We need more automated testing to catch that kind of bugs. FULLY cover important APIs.

If an application requires qn older "base" or an older libraries, shims should be provided, and that should be exercised with tests.

Of course, that requires a substantial ammount of effort :/
