NVIDIA release 550.90.07 stable and 555.52.04 Beta drivers for Linux

Quoting: VardamirI'm currently using my Intel graphics only, because the NVidia driver crashed my computer on shutdown every now and then. I suspect the driver also for some crashes during system update, which is particularly funny. Had to reinstall after a crash during an update destroyed the libc (without it, repairing with a chroot is not possible)

You can always try to use prime render offload and rely on intel for desktop task and getting frames back from nvidia for the heavy stuff.

Before switching to Amd, I found that to be the less troublesome way to live with the blob.
I had the hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime driver installed and for regular tasks it was using Intel. But that didn't prevent the system to crash every now and then (and at mostly every shutdown)

I don't know what hybrid-intel-nvidia-prime driver is, it seems a manjaro thing.

To be sure we are speaking about the same setup, prime render offload means that the display is attached just to the igp and you run commands on the discrete one via prime-run script.

I'm a bit confused about GOG.

What is the difference in owning CD containing a game and not owning a game downloaded from GOG?

It is just the I cannot sell/gift it?

Welcome to the state of gaming in 2024........ Over priced DLC........ Microtransactions out the warzoo..... Out of control in game gambling........ Gaming as a service....... Changing account requirements after purchase........ And now...... Changing OS support after purchase....... What a time to be a live......

Quoting: jams3223I am blacklisting this studio, and I'll never buy a game from them.
Targem Games has made...... The list...... I will do doing the same.......

This is Valve enforcing game updates vis Steam.
Blaze Rush is a lightweight title that works on an old netbook which is unable to run Vulkan, unable to run Proton via dxvk, I don't want even imagine what would happen via wined3d.

They are reducing my possibility to play it, and I've paid for it.

Instead, people pirating games are FREE from all of that, really, this time shame on you, Valve.

Steam supports beta branches, which are often used to keep around old versions before disruptive changes. That publisher should still take the responsibility and face demands for refunds though.

Steam "supports" beta branches, but "enforces" updates, this means that developer is free to end support anytime.

For what is worth, I use my self-developed/self-hosted alternative you may be interested in.

It is a bash script and carries everything over ssh, but requires x11 server and a linux client.

I always regret about the poor choice of the name tho

Ghost of Tsushima single-player only on Steam Deck due to PlayStation Network features

I don'know if this is due to some kind of anticheat/kernel level stuff, but I was thinking, if developers are so concerned about cheaters, then why don't they make it optional and let players themselves decide what kind/level of "protection" they want?

It is certainly feasible and probably cheap too, to create 2 different networks like, say, 'Cheat-free' and 'The Wild', second one not tied to stricter anticheat measures.

I'm sure "real cheaters™ don't use drugs the latter".

There will be a new extension named EAdblock.

If it will be compatible with EAC, which will be surely pushed to single player games, remains to be seen.
