SteamVR Beta gets Linux fixes, plus Beta updates for Desktop and Steam Deck
30 April 2024 at 1:18 am UTC Likes: 1

Getting closer to optimal SteamVR, won't be long before Valve will actually be able to use it on their next VR headset, which I assume they still plan to do given all the steam updates referencing VR features not seen in any other headset yet.

This MEME comes to mind.

Also its my understanding the open-source driver can't do CUDA, DLSS, HDR or HDMI2.1 etc... like its pretty vanilla and may NEVER see those features become a thing?

Fallout 4 is getting a fresh update and will be Steam Deck Verified

Quoting: EhvisIn that case it is more likely that one core being maxed out is limiting performance. Upscaling won't help with that.

Perhaps, but they can also implement frame gen, which I do believe modders have already done for them. At least for skyrim I guess. FrameGen bypasses CPU bottlenecks. Not ideal, but works quite well for Single Player games.

As for mod compatibility; often the break will be linked to Script Extender, so once that is patched (happens pretty fast normally), MOST mods will suddenly work again except those that modify the ESP/ESM tables extensively like say, major storyline mods.

Be nice if they added fsr3 and dlss perhaps also with frame gen. Game can really benefit from that in areas where no matter how good your hardware is, the fps will just tank.

Bought this one as it was also 60% off I believe.

KDE's Xaver Hugl on why Wayland explicit sync is such a big deal

Be a great day once NVIDIA gets better 10bit colour support and properly balanced HDR (is desaturated and wrong exposure atm).

On top of that need DLSS Frame Gen support.

THEN I can fully switch to Linux, well at least 99% of the stuff I do anyway.

Discord Overlay for Linux adds PulseAudio / PipeWire integration

Still need a hookup for setting globally activatable shortcuts so say you can use PushToTalk WHILE playing a fullscreen game and not requiring minimizing and moving focus to Discord.

On top of this they need to bake in a proper fix for app/game fullscreen/window sharing WITH audio. There are workarounds but nothing is better then baked in functionality for WAYLAND.

I do know that Global shortcuts may not be fully supported under Wayland, I dunno its progress.

GitLab takes down Nintendo Switch emulator suyu due to the DMCA

Unless the government or a major testing legal battle happens and the opposition party doesn't fold under the weight and thus makes it through court fully. Nintendo will continue to pull this wherever they can, they have made it VERY CLEAR to the community that THEY DO NOT tolerate emulation of their games or platforms regardless of legal standings in each country/state!

The heavy weight champion declares victory because nobody challenged him to a fight!

Founder of Baldur's Gate 3 developer blasts publisher greed

Quoting: devlandAfter the whole Dragon's Dogma 2 fast travel dlc

Look again, the DLC for DD2 has MUCH more SinglePlayer game items for sale, ripe to exploit new comers to the series.

It's BAD practice and very bad optics IMO. But not everyone agrees.


"Slow down on the greed" - Late stage capitalism does not allow for this!

DayZ looking good these days. Are they still updating it? does it run/play well or still got bad issues that it had.
