Maybe a bit off-topic, but it reminded me of some thoughts I had a few days ago. I noticed lutris-wine hadn't been updated in a while and I decided to check on GitHub to see what was going on. The only things I noticed was that the person who used to publish new releases disappeared completely roughly in the middle of September. I'm not saying I know what's going on, but his name sounds quite Russian, and the timing coincide with the mobilization ordered by the Kremlin. Judging by the pride-flag next to his avatar, my guess is he's no friend of the Russian government, but gosh I hope he's okay and that my assumptions of what might have happened are totally wrong.

Various BioShock games get a 2K Launcher calling it a 'Quality of Life Update'

The Arma 3 launcher isn't too bad I think. I played that game since early access so I remember it didn't always have a launcher, but they added one eventually, not to push ads about their other games or anything, but to manage mods, launch options (there are a lot!) and to provide news and insight on the ongoing development and state of the game itself.
With that said, most launchers are totally unnecessary and just a tacked on annoyance. The exceptions are very few, but they do exist.

Quoting: CorbenQuoting: scaineI've never once, ever, in over 1100 games, experienced a launcher which improved a game experience. I don't even read the text they inevitable try to force down your throat - there's a "Play" button and I press it, rolling my eyes.Only launcher I can live with is the Elite Dangerous launcher. I'd prefer not to have it either, as it also just adds an annoying layer, but it has at least some benefits: It shows current server status, and it allows me to switch between Horzions and Odyssey while having both installed. But this one is the exception.

Quoting: EikeQuoting: StalePopcornToo bad the countries wherein these monolithic, soulless viruses exist also dictate the minds of their respective governments—as most successful parasites do.
The countries dictate the minds of their governments?
Strangely put, but it doesn't actually sound like something bad.

War Thunder major update 'Wind of Change' out now

Uninstalled since 24 February 2022. Couldn't stand knowing about the developers Russian roots combined with them not taking a stance other than censoring their forums and social media channels while urging it's users to be apolitical (the very thing that enables the war criminals in the Kremlin in the first place).
The Long Dark gets fixed up for Linux with Vulkan and Steam Deck Verified

You can still use OpenGL and experience it by passing a launch option![](https://www.gamingonlinux.com/templates/default/images/emoticons/grin.png)
Actually, I might actually have to do just that. I tested the game with the latest patch yesterday, and while Vulkan did get rid of the "wobbly snowy rocks", it seems to have some quite bad performance issues on my system.
Edit: Details on performance issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/8768

Quoting: CFWhitmanQuoting: BloodScourgeI'll miss wobbly snowy rocks... not!
I have that game in my Steam library, but I haven't gotten to it in my backlog. Now I'll never get to experience "wobbly snowy rocks." Darn! (actually: Phew!)

OBS Studio 27.2 is out bringing Flatpak support and much more

Dunno why, but recently, including after this update, there have been no sources showing up in OBS that would allow me to capture my screen or a window.
I remember getting PipeWire capture working just after that was introduced but now the PipeWire source isn't listed, nor any other source that would allow me to capture what's on the screen.
Screen capture, window capture, PipeWire capture, all gone. Tried scrolling through the issues on GitHub but can't find anything remotely connected to this. Don't know if it's OBS's fault or something with my system.
Edit: Tried OBS from Flathub and from Debian's repo, but it's the same issue with both.

HITMAN 3 arrives on Steam and works flawlessly on Linux with Proton

OMG finally. There ain't many games that excite me these days, but this is something I was actually looking forward to.
I played some HITMAN 2 about a month ago after getting the last DLC's on sale and I noticed it worked with d3d12 now which actually solved a stuttering issue I had when enemies threw flash-bangs which would often totally tank the frame-rate before. Otherwise the performance was about the same, meaning it was excellent.
QuoteI've not encountered any major stuttering, which I did see when testing HITMAN 2 with Proton originally.
