Quoting: quotI wonder if dropping in that missing `easyanticheat_x64.so` file would fix the issue. The removal seems accidental, so I'm assuming the main binary is still compatible. Of course, you're risking a ban if you try that, but I am curious.

It does fix the issue.

How did you get the correct file?

I was hoping that Verified would at least encourage developers to care about how their game runs on Deck, but this has not caught on as much as I had hoped, aside from some smaller devs who take pride in their work. Maybe it just needs a little time. When device sales go up into the millions, I suspect attitudes will change.

I linked this video so a silly person on Twitter earlier. They responded to a tweet about the release of the Steam Deck APU Windows drivers by asking if this means they can play Minecraft Java Edition on it now.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleAs far as I know, none of the Verified or Playable games here have had any work done by the developers to make them work. I have only looked at the Steam update data for 2 of them though, so don't take my word for it.

GoL reported quite a few games that were actively updated to meet requirements...

If they DO plan to write it from scratch, I'm betting that Amazon's Proton plans will get to market long before Google.

"Boomer Shooter" is such a weird term when you consider that the original boomer shooters were made by Gen-X.
