As annoying as it is, it really shows how much developers already care about getting their games compatible with Steam Deck, and, in extension, Proton.
Keeping SteamOS relevant in the handheld market will be a big factor that decides how many games will run on Linux in the future.
Yup. I get why some people might not care, but I don't understand the people trying to defend this.
Would these people defend drinking a Verification Can™ as well? After all, it only takes a few seconds.
Kind of.
The big thing that actually defines FSR2 is that it has access to a bunch more data, particularly the depth buffer, motion vectors, and also, as you said, uses data from previous frames.
The camera jiggle is mostly just to avoid shimmering when the camera is stationary.
That's always been their plan, but it's getting hit with Valve Time. My guess is that they won't do it until all issues the major with NVIDIA GPUs have been fixed, as a public build that doesn't run properly on a majority of machines wouldn't go well. The latest driver is pretty good, but the Big Picture mode is still pretty much unusable.
At the very least they're currently trying to bring official support over to other handhelds, as they've already confirmed that they want to official support for the ROG Ally and pushed out a update to SteamOS for the controller support.
That, and monitor/TV size increased a lot at the time when flat panels became a thing, so you need a higher resolution just to achieve the same pixel density you already had on a smaller screen.
these keys allow anyone to [...] brick all r1s
the rabbit team is aware of this leaking of api keys and have chosen to ignore it.
Assuming that's true, then just bricking them all sounds like it might even be the ethically correct move.
It might take a lot more effort, but I don't think this will be the end. Google is required by law to label ads as such, giving these tools an opportunity to detect and skip them.
Recall won't take snapshots of [...] DRM-protected content.
At least the movie industry will survive this unscathed. Thanks Microsoft. 👍
Just to give a bit of context: This comes after two months of outright refusal to do even the bare minimum, like transferring the Steam Store listings for games where the devs had full ownership of the IP.
So yeah, it's nice to see that this will seemingly be resolved somewhat nicely, but that's about it.
The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense.
Hilariously, the issue creator still hasn't given up and is now trying to communicate with the maintainer privately. 🙃
I'd really want to know what's driving them. Surely no sane person would be this persistent without some ulterior motives?
*different thing to VS for Mac, because Microsoft had to give three entirely different products the same name.
Yeah, while there's some truth to the joke that Win32 is the most stable Linux API that's still a big downside to the current Linux landscape.
That said, I don't think Microsoft is currently in a position to enforce drastic changes to their ecosystem, mostly because the desktop market has mostly been reduced to business and gaming, and they can't do anything that affects backwards-compatibility for the business. The only thing that I currently see as an issue is if they boot anti-cheat kernel modules due to the whole Crowdstrike incident and replace it with their own, easy to use, alternative, which then gets used by more devs.
I really hope that when something like that happens, Linux has already has reached a critical mass, or, failing that, some legislators will care enough to prevent it.
