Quoting: ageresRE2 still doesn't run on 5.4.2-1-MANJARO :(.

I re-made its wineprefix, and now it's working again. I hope RE3 will get a demo too so I could test if it works.

Quoting: PatolaWhat CPUs specifically? Mine is a Ryzen 7 2700 and it (RE2 Remake) works perfectly.

It's only for Zen 2 (3xxx series). I have 3700X.

Feral are into Switch and Android/iOS now, so I think they use Linux as a testing ground for porting games to other platforms. It probably means they won't abandon Linux even if it's not profitable.
I'd like them to port Insurgency: Sandstorm or Resident Evil 3 remake. Apparently RE2 doesn't work on Linux with the newest Ryzen CPUs, so I cannot play it since I've got a new computer. I'm afraid RE3 wouldn't run either (RE7 does work though). It also would be ironic if Feral ported Halo: MCC.

For me it drops to 1 fps for 10-15 seconds.

Quoting: orochi_kyo"Prepare for Half-Life: Alyx"

This is what I call a dark sense of humor, knowing Alyx was made only for the 1% of the Steam player base.

Cool to live in the first world, have 500-1000$ to buy a VR headset, while the rest of the world somehow PC gamers have to choose between buying that game on sale or paid food or medical bills.

Aren't Steam for Linux and Proton made only for the 1% of the Steam users too?
Jokes aside, if VR gets more popularity (and HL: Alyx could definitely affect that), there will be more affordable VR devices. The first model of Oculus Rift was $600 three years ago, Rift S is $400 now. Two or three years more, and it will be $200-300.

I launched Halo in its default mode (with EAC enabled), and somehow could continue my campaign. The achievements still don't get unlocked though.

Quoting: pbDo you still need to crouch-jump on the Xen islands like in HL1?

Yes, but not exactly. You jump, press forward and jump again in mid-air, and Gordon dashes. The game prompts to use Ctrl and Space, but I'm not sure if Ctrl does anything.

I've spent few minutes on trying to sign in to my MS account, it gave me GfWL flashbacks. But eventually I succeeded and could start the game. It seems launching it in the EAC-free mode disables getting achievements.

To be honest, I've found Halo (or at least Halo: Reach) to be very mediocre so far, having finished 3 missions. Run forward, shoot bullet sponges with boring assault rifles, die from instakill attacks, repeat. Maybe I got spoiled by recent oldschool FPS games like Dusk, Ion Fury, Wrath, but I'm also enjoying Wolfenstein 2. Nice music though.

Quoting: EhvisThis is one of the weirdest store pages on Steam. It has a purchase option for "Halo: Reach". It is also there as DLC, which has a store page that says it's a DLC and requires The Master Chief Collection. And the Master Chief Collection is a package that includes Halo: Reach. Ok then.

It's probably because there's only Halo: Reach for now, and other games will be added later. I thought they had released the full collection and was surprised to see Steam dowloading only 15 GB. Now I understand it's only one game, not six.

It seems both ~/.steam/root/ and ~/.steam/steam/ are actually symlinks to ~/.local/share/Steam/. AFAIR, Steam installs itself into ~/.steam on Ubuntu, but now I'm on Manjaro too, and it's ~/.local/share/Steam/ here. Anyway, my compatibilitytools.d folder is in the one with all other Steam folders (bin, package, userdata, etc.)
