Quoting: EhvisNice. Last night I went through my library to remove a bunch of "windows" tags from games. Looks like I need to do it again. Not complaining though.

Remove the windows tag from more games! Let's try to invert this whole cause-and-effect thingamabob!

I'm bit curious what the Windows tag is used for? I have been so far been just using the filter that hides Windows games.

I have a private tag for my library meaning "Windows only game". I guess that's it?

That's alright, there doesn't have to be deeper meaning. I do have my own set of tags too, like one for broken games.

Quoting: lectrodeOut of curiosity, regarding the Desktop "Window Manager Only":

• 1) what software does that cover?


• 2) Why would those be put into a single bucket vs having an option for each one like the rest?


• 3) With that now being in 3rd place, does it make sense to split it up into the individual options?

Could be bit of a can of worms. There's only handful DE:s, but as far as window managers go, there's much more. Might need separate graph at least. I would like to know how many twm users there are

Quoting: pete910Think you need to use the prop vulkan driver for full support but dont quote me on that

I'll quote you anyway.

Looks like Radv and Mesa has worked at some point: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/5911

Based on that, getting older version of Quake 2 RTX should fix the issue.

Quoting: Oet_ 
Engine version: q2rtx 1.6.0-HEAD-701cf31, built on Jan 20 2022

Quake II RTX won't start:
********************
FATAL: No ray tracing capable GPU found.
********************

I have an AMD Radeon 6900XT and this works:
$ vulkaninfo
What am I missing here?

I was able to launch the game. First of all, I updated Mesa to 21.3.4 (raytracing support is relatively new, so better to have up to date Mesa, not sure if I should update kernel too). Next I added RADV_PERFTEST=rt %command% to the games launch options.

That was the good news. I get 10 FPS and graphics are very buggy. There's just few big triangles and some garbage.

Not that the vulkaninfo output shows lot of raytracing related extensions:
VkPhysicalDeviceRayTracingPipelineFeaturesKHR:
----------------------------------------------
        rayTracingPipeline                                    = true
        rayTracingPipelineShaderGroupHandleCaptureReplay      = false
        rayTracingPipelineShaderGroupHandleCaptureReplayMixed = false
        rayTracingPipelineTraceRaysIndirect                   = false
        rayTraversalPrimitiveCulling                          = false

QuoteJust some of the titles that could benefit include:

Apex Legends
Back 4 Blood
Dead By Daylight
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
New World
Paladins
Rust
Warhammer: Vermintide 2

How does a compiler benefit from anti-cheat though?

Enabling anti-cheat in Rust turns it into C?

Programming in Rust enables few cheat codes, like thread and memory safety. With those enabled, it's possible to speedrun program development (assuming that target is to get stable program) and that's not fair.

Quoting: ElamanOpiskelijaWhen I look at the Steam catalogue and look at games like Tooth and Tail, The Riftbreaker, Blasphemous, Dead Cells, Hollow Knight.. in fact all indie "something-Knight"'s, etc.
I see more appeal for playing them in a handheld console and at the same time, I think the console increases the appeal of these games.
I mean I would play most them in my phone if I could, and if my phone had a gamepad.

That would be Nokia N-Gage. Not very popular product though and was discontinued back in 2006. Symbian did have some games, even commercial ones.

Android phones seem to have gamepad attachments though, which I'm even less familiar with. There's even some indie games without microtransactions available.

I guess Steam Deck can somewhat act as a phone as these days regular phone calls are rare. If Facebook and Twitter work, that's quite lot of things done on a phone covered.

Quoting: F.UltraWhich could be either Feral not selling enough of HITMAN to make it interesting to also port 2 or that IO refused to sell the Linux rights to Feral (or they demanded a too high price for the license).

Probably a mix of things. I saw a developer at IO tweet directly about HITMAN 2 running in Proton so they probably didn't see a need to partner with Feral on it.

That's something that must have happened with several developers and publishers when Proton came out.

Quoting: Mountain ManWith all these game give-aways, I have nearly 40 games in my GOG library, and can't remember the last time I actually bought a game from them.

I think it as backup library in case for some odd reason Steam goes away. Though I have plenty of games via Humble Bundle too and not all of them are Steam keys.

Quoting: AnzaPS: GOG doesn't seem to have Wrath of the Necromancer DLC as separate DLC (it is included in the Necromancer Edition though), which is bit of a shame as that DLC adds more content and has different ending to the story

This one? https://www.gog.com/game/iratus_wrath_of_the_necromancer

Good that it's there. GOG is bit confusing. Game page has DLC list, but it doesn't list it. It's however linked separately right at beginning of the description.

I guess I'm spoiled by Steam
