Played a bit of
The Precinct
GTA 1/2 style they say. But its 3D. Anyway, seems pretty decent, but performance is pretty awful given that it doesnt look visually like game from the last 5 years. But hey, its a Demo and hopefully things will improve.
Gameplay seems pretty solid though.

What the hell did they do to the list of games?
everything is extremely stupid to scroll through to look for demos you actually want to play.
Used to be small 1 line list before with lots of them on the screen
Or am i missing some option somewhere?
used to be something like this before:
Actually i think it was even smaller banners before... damn why keep changing things for more time wasting on scrolling...

Quoting: StellaQuoting: XpanderI own a razer basilisk v2, its decent mouse, but build quality isn't the greatest, the rubber on it started to fade quite fast and scrollbar rubber grip is sometimes slipping a bit, but i can at least adjust the resistance of the scrollwheel and mouse is quite comfortable in hand.Ah, I see. That kind of sucks. Do Razer peripherals have onboard memory at least? My logitech mouse has this, I can configure it on LGHUB and it will persist on Linux devices. If it didn't have this the mouse would be much less usable

Its not very nice. openrazer only supports RGB stuff, DPI settings, Polling rate and some other fluff, but the main feature is missing. Custom keybinds, layers etc.

Quoting: StellaI don't use Razer personally because I'm not convinced of the quality of their products. But this does seem really nice, wish there was something similar for Logitech and Asus

DXVK 2.4.1 brings improvements for launchers, more robust D3D8, lots of game fixes for Linux

In theory yes, but not all games do same thing sadly

Quoting: Liam DaweAnnoying, but shouldn't this be what Borderless Windowed Mode is for in games?

Hopefully we will get the option to disable that new behaviour.
That basically kills the dual-monitor and workspace usage for me. Having to do one more click to bring the game up after focus loss. At least there was hope per discussions on the discord that there might be an option for this in the future to bring old method back again.
Cant have nice things because windows behaviour i guess :(

QuoteGames will now leave fullscreen mode when the game window loses focus.
This is closer to Windows behaviour and fixes various issues with games hanging on some setups. (PR #2675)

Frog Protocols announced to try and speed up Wayland protocol development

I mean who cares who's fault it is. If it works on X11, i expect it to work on wayland also

Quoting: mylkaisnt global hotkey also up to the program? like OBS has to implement it
btw OBS. recording is kinda blurry at higher resolution. i read there is an issue with scaling other than 100%. i have not tried it, because i would not use it that way anyway, when it works just fine on x11
wayland still has a long way to go

Great news.
-Global hotkey support
-Copy-paste between wayland and xwayland that doesn't break
-Drag and drop between applications is finnicky and not always working
-Window management with positions, geometry etc are lacking features.
Just to name some. Hopefully things get better faster.
And lots of people use Wayland just fine already. It depends on the needs i guess.

Ohh nice so APB: Reloaded doesn't require
This old game is still kept alive, which is pretty neat.
winetricks vcrun2017
anymore i guess as well as theres DXVK side update for it to not have frametime spikes when shooting cars/objects. Had to use that before:DXVK_CONFIG="d3d9.cachedDynamicBuffers = True"

NVIDIA driver with Linux kernel 6.10 causing kernel oops

Is that laptop only issue?
i haven't encountered any issues and have been running 6.10 and 560 drivers long time.
I also use my PC quite heavily every day and rarely shut it down. But i use X11 not wayland if thats also a difference i guess..
For me nvidia drivers have been incredibly stable since 545 at least... 530 had some regressions with some games iirc but after that its been smooth sailing for me
RTX 3080,Arch Linux, MATE desktop X11
