Vulkan and Wayland or OpenGL and Wayand? I have the trouble with the latter myself.

It's also worth noting that the game was developed on Linux using FOSS tools specifically!

What I want to see in 2023 for Linux, Gaming, Steam Deck and more

With anti-cheat, at least on BattlEye side for Escape from Tarkov, the problem is that it's missing a custom module used for entering the raids. The good thing is that the current implementation at least allow entering the game, navigate the menus and do offline practice round, but entering online throws error.

Seems it's BattlEye that needs to add missing modules to Proton's BattlEye implementation, and they are busy with other stuff, I guess it doesn't help that Escape from Tarkov is not on Steam, too.

So yeah, it still needs some non game developer attention too to add the missing features, not sure if other games are affected?

Genuine question; what's MangoApp?

I guess it's a custom engine with OpenGL on all platforms?

Also nice to see it on PC and Linux natively! Originally it was CD Projekt that was responsible for making Windows port, but it never came to light.

XIGNCODE3 anti-cheat working towards Steam Deck support by launch

The list of Steam games using XIGNCODE3 can be found on SteamDB: https://steamdb.info/tech/AntiCheat/XIGNCODE3/

It was possible to list them using PCGW as well here: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Special:SearchByProperty/:Anticheat-20middleware but for some reason it stopped working

EDIT: Turned out it was caused by SemanticMediaWiki being problematic and getting phased out in favor of Cargo; here's the proper page listing all XIGNCODE3 games on PCGW: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/XIGNCODE3

In case anyone wonders, forcing Vulkan via -force-vulkan seems to fix some issues compared to OpenGL renderer, more info here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/674930/discussions/0/4758602630156807690/

Quoting: GrimfistAh thanks for the reminder. I did switch to Void Linux in the last month, and had totally forgotten to update the info here :D

EDIT: Hey Liam, why is there no dedicated CPU model although it is present in the stats page like for GPU model? I plan on upgrading my system and this would be a nice input.

I'd like to have CPU models as well, though I guess it might take more effort and less gain to set up than GPU, that's why only GPU was chosen.

Maybe it's slowly time to change the "Window manager only" to things like sway, i3, openbox etc? Seems a lot of people use it. Also, a CPU model, but that sounds like a more hassle.
