OMG finally. There ain't many games that excite me these days, but this is something I was actually looking forward to.

QuoteI've not encountered any major stuttering, which I did see when testing HITMAN 2 with Proton originally.

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.

Quoting: M@GOidAll of these improvements only occur because of the funding from the DLC they release. This is one of a few games I pay for DLCs with gusto, since not only I receive new content that wasn't available at launch, but the core game continues to receive meaningful improvements on a regular basis.

Same. As long as it doesn't turn into something akin to Paradox (EUIV, CK etc.) or The Sims DLC money milking machine, I'm totally fine with buying map expansions for this game. Don't spend much on skins and other cosmetic stuff though as the cost can easily pile up.

Quoting: GuestI remember people commentating Arma 3 was playable, nice to see official support :). I am sure we'll see more soon, although I do wonder if some devs will leave it until Steam Deck users start yelling at them.

Bohemia had developed a Linux Beta for ARMA3.

Actually, I was very very well aware of that :). Do I have to write out an entire essay on these places to cover every angle in the hopes someone doesn't pick on some little bit? Even if doing so half the people will reply anyway...

Lol, but it's actually true that it worked with Proton too, at least for some people. First time I tried it didn't work even though others had already gotten it up and running, but as new Proton releases came out it eventually started working. However, up until now there was no BattleEye-support so it was limited to singleplayer. Yes, you could probably play multiplayer with friends if you set up your own server without anti-cheat enabled, but pretty much any public server is BattleEye-enabled and would kick you out the moment you joined. Hopefully that is no longer the case. Personally I've mostly lost interest in the game by now (Steam says 1452 hours played which is pretty disgusting now that I think about it) so I don't even know if I'll bother trying.

Tried to get into this game twice, once back when it was fairly new, and once more recently. It does manage to draw me in initially, but when half way into the story I always loose interest. It just becomes boring, frustrating and some of the writing is frankly just cringe, and not to mention it's still full of frustrating sometimes game-breaking bugs.

Anyone else here who's playing this game and have replaced PulseAudio with PipeWire? I'm not getting any audio in this game. I'd like to know if I'm the only one or if it's a more widespread thing.

I opened a thread on the Steam forums to get the attention of the game developers. Maybe chime in there if you know more about this issue.

An apparent planned competitor to Steam named "Steam" lol

I'm guessing those plans went up in smoke.

The future of Vapor appears quite foggy at best.

It's already vaporware.

Quoting: idk-manI absolutely hate this new design (talking about the oversimplifying Trend) Why can’t they just leave things as they are or at least give people the chance to change to the original design.

Well... They weren't good. I mean, from a usability perspective. If I understood correctly, I can now define the download queue with drag and drop, while before, I had to push the up arrow on the games in order... but in reverse order. Same for library places: The new interface can do more. And in my humble opinion, it also looks better, but well, that's just taste, isn't it?

Agree. While I don't think it's especially great, it's still slightly better than it was before. I don't get the "oversimplification" argument, since it was even more lacking in functionality before. As far as I can see, they didn't remove anything, but they did add more features, some of which I find somewhat helpful.

Quoting: TheRiddickHaven't played this for months. Kind of got tired of the grind; I do have premium vehicles but without the premium account it just takes too much time to even earn silver in this game to afford all the new vehicles.

Doubt it will ever change.

It's by design and very deliberate. It's how they make money. To be frank, IMO it's a disgusting business model.
