Quoting: miroWhat the actual fuq?
Is this for real? You do know that this is designed to kill people, not in a cs-fashion but for real. And all with the currently f'ed up narrative and politics, you are cracking jokes with it.

I can not believe this, what a shame.

Are you suggesting we treat the Russian invading army of genocidal psychopaths with respect?

They very clearly said specifically the Steam Deck.

They did, but do we have information yet that Steam is displaying that information to developers?

As mentioned in the video they can see the hardware used.

Proton Experimental also now has the Diablo IV fixes, as tweeted by Pierre-Loup Griffais. Very intereting public confirmation of Valve supporting non-Steam titles.

Awww, my YouTube video on how to work around and fix the cloud save bug was getting such good mileage. :P Oh well, at least I have taught a few newbies how to make symlinks, so not all lost.

QuoteA Proton Hotfix update has just been pushed with a fix for the Dead Space map issue. It also addresses a minor performance issue where the game's usage of Variable-Rate Shading was being ignored.

Another "stupid" game I can recommend that plays nicely on Deck (and it's native even) is Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians. Deck seems like a good place to play this sort of thing. Now if only Valve can hurry up and do the Bluetooth audio latency fix so I can use my new buds.

Quoting: neffoI the only person who has Steam Big Picture running very slowly (like 10 fps) on Desktop Linux ... though it's fine in games though?

I've not seen anyone else mention it but I can't work out what it is.

QuoteNew Big Picture Mode is also still terribly buggy and slow on NVIDIA when trying it on Desktop, pretty much unusable. Hopefully Valve or NVIDIA can solve that.

Ubisoft don't even use any Steam features for their recent releases, instead just using their own launcher for cloud saves, achievements, social etc. So I can't imagine them doing much of anything to support Linux, Steam Deck.

Ubisoft are a bit dense though. Guillemot blames employees. Employees are going on strike. I wish them good luck. May they make the suits squirm.
