Monstrosity Deluxe!
@gamingonlinux I'm honestly not real surprised to see this happen. To many developers the SteamDeck is just another console and that's how they'll treat it.

According to a DXVK developer running Steam with โ-steamdeckโ is a workaround for now.

@gamingonlinux If that is all it takes, what is Valve setting with that mode that the game works? I am fine with the developers having specific code for on linux/steamdeck, but why wouldnโt it work without the steamdeck?

@gamingonlinux I am scared it will happen to Dead By Daylight one day. Every single time they mention the support they say "Steam Deck" they have never said the word "Linux" even once.

@gamingonlinux I've read that it uses quite a hefty configuration to run, like a 4080 ๐ณ Another question. Is it a good game ? Trailers are nice, but the game is meh from what I've read.

@gamingonlinux I have stumbled across a few games (older ones usually) that run poorly or not at all on my desktop but fine if not great on my deck.

@gamingonlinux to be fair Linux is an absolute nightmare of dependency hell. On Windows you can just drop DLLs and even on Mac its just dylibs but on Linux its kind of expected that if you're not running Ubuntu the end user might have to tinker with it (and even then there's a lot of different kinds of Ubuntu). I don't think dunking on the developers is really constructive here, the Steam Deck is realistically the only Linux game system most people will ever touch.

@gamingonlinux Is this the first time it has happened? I can't recall another case where "steam deck optimizations" wasn't just graphical settings.
wook :fedora:
@gamingonlinux .. maybe this is their response to @gardiner_bryant โs video to focus specifically on the #SteamDeck :) hahahaha |
