QuoteThe issue was due to "frequent file cache buffers flushing by the game", which Linux handled a lot better. They have a fix in place now but I just thought it was interesting, that having RPCS3 on Linux helped them track down a Windows performance issue.

This is what we cross developer devs keep telling the Windows only devs, that porting your software to other platforms can help you find and fix bugs that also affect the Windows version by exposing your code to a completely different architecture and compiler.

It went from 0.82 to 0.81, that's 0.01% comparatively not 1%. Like Valve themselves confirmed before, Linux is growing.

Well going from 0.82% to 0.81% is a decline by 1.22%, then we are probably growing as you say since the Survey does not count every single user as well as the total pool is growing so even a 1% decline can be an increase in actual users.

I know what you're saying but my point was more about saying 1% difference, to a lot of people might be quite alarming when our total market share before was only 0.82%. I'm just trying to make it crystal clear :)

Yeah, I hear what you say. Just being anal when it comes to math :-). I do however see that even Steam does this wrong since they show Linux usage as -0.01% in their survey so they calc points but shows it as percent..

Quoting: NatedawgI'm sure this will have to at least give Valve a bit of a nudge to fix some of the discontentment with developers.

Won't happen. Why? Because Epic is not competing on having those issues fixed, in fact they don't even have a small fraction of all the services that Steam provide. No they compete solely on cash handouts.

I wonder just how many minutes it would take for say Ryan Gordon to port this to Linux...

edit: And I see that they have versions for macOS and Android so it's more or less already ported.

Looks very interesting, beeing longing for some Alien Breed type of game for some time now.

Quoting: drlambI just snagged overcooked 2 after playing it with some friends over the weekend. That game gets intense!

I wish Feral would hurry up and sell Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Can't buy and give away copies that can't be bought! (My wallet says Take your time feral).

Sadly it's still in the outer ring of their radar so it looks like it will take quite some time more before it's released :-(. Watched the movie and replayed both games this weekend so I too incidently was in the mood for Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

QuoteWhat would you like to see improved next in the Steam Client?

I would like to see some short game description in the Game Details view, as is now I have to go to the store page for some games that I bought ages ago in order to see what they actually are :)

Secondly I'm actually perplexed why Valve have not put some notification feature that tells you that Game X now have new DLC to purchase, one would assume that this would be in their interest.

Quoting: F.UltraThe EU does not want a single price throughout the whole of EU, this is about allowing products and services to be sold and exchanged freely across the single EU market. They are not against regional pricing.

Understood and noted. But IMO, it sounds more like forcing to sells in one price across EU. That's my interpretation, not expert in EU laws or anything EU in general.

Let's say I'm not a big fan with current EU system right now, for many reasons. So, my opinion kinda skeptical here and there on EU.

But again, what I learned from history is... Any actions will have reactions.

So, if EU still being so busybody like this, I confidently said other pissed governments/entities ensure "Dieselgate 2.0" will certainly happens. And I ensure you, it will be worst than "the Dieselgate" now.

Just we don't know yet which industry will be "jackpotted"..

Again, price is not something that the EU is looking at what so ever, this is only about geo-blocking on the second hand market.

So VW put a NOx-related defeat device in their test cars in order to bypass emission regulations, what on earth does that have to do with EU finding Valve and the 5 other companies breaching the anti geo-blocking regulations other than in both cases a company is found (or in this case, possible found since this is just a preliminary finding) breaching regulations?

Quoting: tonRI looking at larger perspective. Let's say EC wanted game prices as single, cheaper price basing on EUR. Perhaps €30-40 flat across EEA?
IMO. if EU really asking for "Dieselgate 2.0" to happen if they keeps too nosey like this. Which industry I dunno..

p/s: Also, at least y'all still have rights to criticise. If I done that, probably Black Maria will be infront my house later.
