sadly it seems it doesnt work for below 1
i tried 0.5 and it doesnt make any difference.
Too bad, whould have liked things to be smaller on my 27" 1440p screen, but its not a huge problem as the new UI is already a bit smaller with fonts than the old one was, luckily

I would love this on my 2560x1440p 27" screen
Imo the fonts are too big still.. well the new UI makes it a lot better than the old UI, but huge waste of space with the huge fonts imo. I mean sure if you use it in TV on your living room then yeah i can see you want bigger fonts but not on a computer monitor. At least for me the smaller the font the more space for the stuff i have.
Old with big font top row:
New with nicer smaller font:

It looks nicer. Font sizes are nicely smaller also on the top row and its more consistent with its theme stuff now, but its extremely buggy. Smooth scrolling is super slow, its like they changed how fast it scrolls. Have to scroll like crazy to move it. It also seems to eat VRAM a lot more than stable and doesn't seem to release VRAM when theres no activity. So yeah. lot of work to do i guess but its a start.

Bought the game. Runs okaish. Combat is fun and all but it kinda lacks depth... It could ofc open up later in the game, but first 30 minutes its kinda same enemies, dash, block, hit, fireball...
Still i mean its just 7€ and the mechanics that are in the game work very well. Just don't expect super in-depth game.
Great to see native linux ports of games!

POSTAL 2 got a surprise 20th anniversary update with Steam Deck support

Thank you for making this game :)
Native runs very well so far.. Its been long time since i played it last time, but damn those zone loadings are now like 1-2 sec. I remember back in the days zoning was long long wait :)

Quoting: ToploaderNative has better performance by quite a margin, so native is the way to go. We're finally rewarded for supporting Linux all these years later (it was never a profitable thing in the past, just more a passion project to keep our games native Linux). The only exception to that is if you're playing on a windows desktop too and want cross save support. We do plan on fixing it in the future so Windows and Linux support cross cloud save on Steam.

NVIDIA 530.30.02 mainline Beta driver rolls out, plus a new Vulkan Beta driver

Driver seems to work without issues. Didn't run into any of the bugs that are reported fixed though. Can't see the change in the nvidia-settings icons also but i guess thats my icon theme taking over maybe
not sure what this is all about though? some security thing?

Hmm, interesting. Hugepages got me curious, if that could be helpful on desktop linux also.
Theres loads of documentation about it on the kernel pages. Wonder if this tool can be installed on regular desktop Linux also?

Iirc closed beta started in October 2012 and open in November or December. But yeah Official release was in February 2013. Its been a long time. I didn't even use Steam much before as it was a hassle to launch it with wine.
Direct3D to Vulkan translator DXVK 2.1 adds HDR support, improves shader stutter issue

You can disagree if you want, but things like these are for package managers to deal with imo.
Whatever the outcome. He doesn't want to deal with scripts and its feature requests. He is a graphics developer, so its understandable that he wanted to drop it.
