I was tempted for Christmas, but I mostly play retro games, so in the end i went for the RP5, more portable, oled screen, but 1080p, which is the minimum to enjoy CRT shaders without moire.

I really hope this is related.

QuoteThis is not a bug, DXVK does not free once allocated memory blocks by design since doing so would require defragmentation, and is generally not very useful if the game needs more VRAM once again.

Not owning a deck, I'd like someone to explain me why/how "ordinary hubs" slow down the handheld gaming.

A good soundtrack is 50% of the fun for me.

When I play single player games, I feel like I'm doing a multi player with the game creators.

It is always been like that and I love that emotion sooo much more than playing with random angry people on the net.

Even if they were friends, the demands of family and work would make it a rare occurrence for all of us to have free time at the same moment."


I'm so grateful I'm out of the whole anticheat issue "by design".

QuoteSteam developers can now select which Steam for Linux runtime to use for native titles. Please consult the partner site for more details.

What exactly is a "Steam developer", one that works for Steam or they intend "Game developers publishing on Steam"?

Quoting: const

Quoting: kokoko3kHow anti-cheat relates to that?

To really secure system integrity, there needs to be a full validation chain up to the kernel (and potentially beyond). Without that validation, game devs may continue to distrust anticheat tools on Linux. We don't yet know the new API MS announced to integrate in Windows, but it's really certain Linux will not be able to provide an equivalent unless the kernel and core libraries are build and signed by a trusted entity. Wouldn't make much sense to use that APi if the user can use a patched kernel. As SteamOS uses Archs kernel images and libraries, that must be done in Archs build system, hence the speculation this is related.

To be frank, I think we will see a major shift in cheating and anti-cheat in the coming years, it will be a battle of "AIs".

Yeah, my question came from my early assumption (post confirmed by the updated article) that the signing was related to just packages, your is/remains the choice to what to install and from where.

It is and remains an optional form of protection.

Speculating on the fact that the open and the closed ones are causing the aame issues and given that the userspace part of the driver "should" not crash the kernel by its own, maybe there is common code between the open and the closed drivers.

May the old staff team up and start from the ground once again.
