  • Thoughts on Bazzite for a desktop machine?

    Jump

  • I do have an AMD GPU, so that sounds like it will make things easier.

    Are you running the -deck variant that gives you a Steam deck experience that has a DE for "desktop mode" or just the version with a more traditional DE?

  • I had a pretty bad experience with Nobara where KDE was super unstable. Probably hardware specific, but when I switched off it everything was stable.

  • How the heck do I get gamescope working with Heroic Games Launcher?

    Jump

  • GPU is Radeon 7900xtx, so pretty new.

    I may switch back to distro Steam. I was trying to get as much Flatpaked as possible but getting HDR working is more important to me.

  • How the heck do I get gamescope working with Heroic Games Launcher?

    Jump

  • Yeah I was running the game under Plasma 6 with HDR enabled and inside a game scope container.

    Sounds like there are some issues with Flatpak and HDR so that may be what I am hitting.

    What additional configuration are you referring to?

  • I got it to engage, the game thinks it’s running in HDR but it just looks really bad

  • Ah - thanks for the heads up about the Flatpak version. I have everything running in Flatpak, Steam as well, so that may be why I've had zero luck with HDR.

  • How the heck do I get gamescope working with Heroic Games Launcher?

    Jump

  • Got it working, added to -f --hdr-enabled to the Additional Options section under the upscale options in the Gamescope tab. Note that you need to have upscape ticked even with additional options added.

    Unfortunately it looks washed out and awful.

    Edit: Just a quick note for folks this later on - it does indeed seem Flatpak related, or at the very least I got similar results under the Steam flatpak trying to run game in HDR. I ended installing the native package Steam and lo and behold, HDR no longer looks as washed out, though it still looks a little off compared to Windows. Those swapchains errors I was getting also vanish.

  • I wouldn't have thought to try that, thanks. Can confirm it looks like it is running Gamescope now. However I am still not getting an HDR switch in Alan Wake 2.

    Getting the following errors:

    "CreateSwapchainKHR: Creating swapchain for non-Gamescope swapchain. Hooking has failed somewhere! You may have a bad Vulkan layer interfering. Press OK to try to power through this error, or Cancel to stop."

    "QueuePresentKHR: Attempting to present to a non-hooked swapchain. Hooking has failed somewhere! You may have a bad Vulkan layer interfering. Press OK to try to power through this error, or Cancel to stop."

  • Thanks! I actually have that installed already.

    How do I tell Heroic to launch the game under gamescope vs the normal compositor?

  • What does “experimental color management” mean? Is that HDR support?

    Can anyone expand on that?

  • Black & White (2001) open source game engine sees a first release

    Jump

  • Sure, you could probably write an awesome new AI for black and white but you could also write an awesome 3d renderer for the original Mario World.

    My point was that the AI is really core to the game, and I am not sure how they would replicate it in an accurate manner. If you wrote a new AI it would be a different game.

  • Black & White (2001) open source game engine sees a first release

    Jump

  • I wonder how they will translate over the AI from the original. That was a huge part of that game, so much so that I would say Black and White with a different AI isn’t the same game.

  • How do I enable sharpening for FSR?

    Jump

  • Game is Hunt Showdown and they don’t have sharpening as an in game option.

    I will take a look at vkBasalt. Little worried that could trigger a ban from their anti-cheat.

  • Apple will update iPhones for at least 5 years in rare public commitment

    Jump

  • It was more that older batteries can't handle the power draw, so they would shut down if the power draw spiked by an expensive operation.

    It was a really bad user experience so Apple throttled so phones wouldn't crash.

  • What is the point of Xbox?

    Jump

  • Good quote. Here is more of it for context:

    Fable was profitable - "highly profitable", Lionhead's Simon Carter told Eurogamer - but in a now too-familiar story, it and its genre was seen by Microsoft as just not profitable enough. "That category is not the biggest category on the planet," said Robbie Bach, who was the President of Entertainment & Devices Division at Microsoft before Don Mattrick assumed the role. "It's not soccer. It's not American Football. It's not a first-person shooter sized category. So at a commercial level, I would say it was successful, but not wildly so."

    Wildly successful was what Microsoft was after. A pitch for Fable 4 was rejected. "It was like, you've reached your cap of players for RPG on Xbox and you need to find a way to double that, and you're not going to do it with RPG," Fable's art director John McCormack told Eurogamer at the time. "I thought, yes we can. I said, look, just give us four years, proper finance, give us the chance Mass Effect has, Skyrim has, the games at the time. They're getting four years and a lot of budget. Give us that, and we'll give you something that'll get you your players. Nah, you've had three shots and you've only tripled the money. It's not good enough. Fuck off. That's what I was annoyed about." (Worth noting: Skyrim went on to sell 63m copies, as of June 2023, The Witcher 3 over 50m.)

  • It really depends on your threat model. It’s not a one size fits all thing.

    For instance in some threat models you shouldn't have TOTP auth and passwords on the same device, let alone the same app, but the vast majority of people are not going to carry two devices because of how inconvenient it is.
