Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support (thisweekinvideogames.com)

An article from this weekend that seemingly got buried by soundbites about the Steam Machine price in the same interview, but given that we have no information on price, this seems way more interesting to me. I mean...I basically self-select games that don't use these kinds of anti-cheat at all, but this is important information for a lot of people, especially if you're looking for an off-ramp from Windows and still want to play some of the most popular live service titles.

I will buy one of these if valve fixes gaming on Linux. I don't even want one

I did some Linux gaming during COVID and recently swapped my HTPC to Linux (Bazzite/Deck) for a console style setup in the living room. Massively improved now over my previous experience.

The game I was playing heavily this last weekend (Wildmender) absolutely runs better in Proton on Linux than it did on Windows. Less crashes, less stutters, faster load time. I assume it is due to preRendered shaders? Honestly not really sure but it is nice.

Going to do some Enshrouded on it next which is a game absolutely not at all optimized for Linux, so far it seems to be working fine but I've not gotten to that late game CPU intensity of loading areas heavily modified.

They have been investing in proton heavily to make games work on Linux, most of my library just work out of the box, some with parameters and a very small amount of my 300+ games do not work. So when are you going to get your GabeCube?

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't know because they haven't announced a release date

[–] Nugscree@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In the mean time you can check on protondb how much of your steam library is compatible with Linux using this link https://www.protondb.com/profile

  • You can either link via the Steam api, or if your profile is public paste your profile link into the input.
  • Then select the "By ProtonDB rating" and see how much of your current library is compatible.

Of the 474 games I have most are Gold or higher. 2 are Bronze (crashes often), 2 are Borked and 13 are awaiting more data to be rated. 60 even have native clients.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

my hope is for native Linux releases like it used to happen with id software in the quake 3 days

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

And I'm hoping for them to be flatpacks so they still run five years later. I've had to resort to running Windows builds via Proton for games that have native Linux builds because they don't work anymore.
