Yeah, Proton runs outside of Steam in Heroic and Lutris. That’s basically what the umu project is about. I think it works in Bottles as well.
Almost everything Valve has done for Linux gaming is open source and will remain even if they go away and lock everything down tomorrow.
In almost every game the gameplay tips and tutorials they give you are not only suboptimal but often outright counterproductive. This is especially bad in multiplayer games.
It was really nice in Doom Eternal, where they added quick swapping to the tips.
In the same vein, when the game starts immediately without giving you a chance to configure it. Because the default configuration is always wrong.
The Steam Deck is great in that regard. Just put it to sleep.
When there are several waterfalls in the game and not one has a secret behind it.
I originally registered the domain I’m now using for Lemmy for the company “The Empire”. I was a kid and did it just for the lulz. Also I additionally used my real name.
Nothing ever happened.
CDPR came to the rescue even outside of GOG. My son bought Cyberpunk 2077 the other day on Steam and luckily for me it comes without DRM so I can even play it while he is playing.
Would be funny if in the future only non-nvidia cards supported PhysX.
Yay! Do anticheat next!
The important stuff is fortunately almost totally spelled out and hard to miss.
Damn, I came really close the other day. Managed to live through the “the game will kill you now” event. Unfortunately I couldn’t keep up when I was at the boss.
But to progress the game you have to get up.
But when you finish the game a new mode is added allowing you to play normally with increasingly more difficult challenges you can put on yourself.
Man I hate the pessimism. It’s a month away and one organizer is saying he’s done if this fails.
Wouldn’t be the first petition to gain massive momentum before the finish line.
That’s why you see this post. As a last ditch effort to get the petitions over their threshold.
Not for astrophysicists. They call basically everything a “metal”. Of course they know it’s wrong. But they keep doing it to annoy the chemists, I think.
It’s turtles, all the way down.
Tja.
The ones before were awesome. BioWare at its best. Due to sickness I couldn’t continue 2 but it’s supposed to be one of the best RPGs ever. Maybe even surpassing 3.
And it wasn’t even news back then. Almost immediately after the BG3 release Swen Vincke talked about the next project being an in-house IP again. And not much later they quit working on a DLC.
Proton is mostly a fork of Wine which has been used for decades to run Windows software on Linux. Valve didn’t do all the hard work by themselves.
