Quoting: Mountain ManWhy do they bother when they know Nintendo is going to shut them down? 🙄

Not happened to a single decomp so far

Banjo Kazooie should come at some point hopefully since that's 100% decompiled now

Not sure why you disapprove so much over such old games being ported to pc lol

It's not that I disapprove. Rather, we know for a fact that Nintendo will slap this project with a "cease and desist", so those hobbyists are just wasting their time.

Years, decades later, because hobbyists today "wasting" time, people sailing high seas or random ex employee took something home, will be only preserved, archived, existing copies, samples of tech.
Indeed, waste of their time...

In the grand scheme of life, the universe, and everything, yeah, it is.

There are only three ways to beat the Anti-Cheat problem:

1. Force the game developers to weaken their anti-cheat for your system (not going to happen with the current number of players)
2. Start cryptographically verifying kernels and bribe a bunch of game companies into supporting those particular kernels. This also does not seem likely to work long-term.
3. Cloud gaming...

Quoting: legluondunetIf only Steam had the courage to force Ubisoft and other video game publishers not to use their own launcher when selling their games on Steam, Steam being the launcher. I don't want a launcher in a launcher in a launcher...#inception It generates potential additional technical problems and it uses resources for nothing.

I'm really happy they don't.
I'm pretty sure that would be anti-competative and monopolistic behavior.
It costs resources, but it comes from a good place.

steam doesn't prevent other stores on the same system (not even on the steam deck)

meanwhile...

all consoles (except the steam deck) are completely locked to a single store and even forbid in-game purchases from being processed outside the console manufacturer's store system

apple store, google play (and afaik even microsoft store) forbid 3rd-party stores in their store

apple and google forbids in-app purchases in apps sold through their app store from working outside their store's framework... apps doing so are booted off their store

not sure what you think will be considered monopolistic in a world where the above practices aren't

there may be Logo of developers like "ubisoft" splash under Steam for that games. İnstead of extra launchers just like Division series. once upon there was a bug which makes ubisoft connect totaly nonsense even overlay hadnt working. and need to change restart wine versions. To update or play or install a piece of software. These days are killing excitement of player just like me. But still i agree developers should make some ADS for their jobs.

Quoting: hummer010I had somehow missed that EU-IV was on GOG! 90% off for the base game, and several selected expansions is a pretty good deal...

Only noticed it myself today, so figured it was a highlight.

This is great for those of us that prefer to game on older hardware.

It's wonderful that the dev saw this obvious need and decided to do something about it! Thanks, pythonlover02!!

Ufff... I really don't have time to play new games now. But this move should be rewarded with some purchase.

Not only this project enhances the originals, it is also used for custom levels! So if you wanna play something like Sabatu's Tomb Raider 1, you'll need this.

Thank God! not needing launchers are one reason I buy games from GOG.

It was such a pain getting Marvel Midnight Suns to launch when it first came out, so this is so needed. Aside from that launcher, it was my 2022 game of the year.

Steam has already what a second launcher like Ubisoft or...gives:
- DRM protection
- discussions
- achievements
- Steam workshop
- tchat
...

When you sell a game on Steam, editors should use Steam tools.

Valve/Steam should take a slightly smaller cut for games that don't use a launcher. Ie 29% instead of 30%.

Ever since switching from the RPM to the Flatpak version of Steam on my setup exporting video clips has been failing due to this issue, I believe.

Hopefully this updates improves the situation!

Quoting: PyrateStill waiting on how they're gonna tackle anti-cheat stuff.

Since they're into crypto and "web3", I'm also waiting for the inevitable rugpull.

I think they will fully lock the kernel down.
Blockchain fans often scream a lot about openness without practicing it.
Expect: secure boot, tpm, utilization of the TXT patch and proprietary drivers.
Probably also: hsm.

I would when placed in this position lock down the boot loader, but not the rest of the kernel and advertise and improve KASSLR(kernel address space layout randomization) and add ASSLR capabilities to Godot and/or a popular FOSS game installer.

I would lock down the bootloader, because although I think I've designed a KASSLR protocol that can proof to games that it's implemented with a non-compromised seed, I've yet to find a way to proof that the seed wasn't shared in a way that structurally compromises the the security of the system without locking down the bootloader(which is still an improvement to the full lockdown/Android solution, but not the best).
I see the most hope in assymetric cryptographic primitives for fixing this.

Quoting: taosecurityI have a 4070 Ti Super. Recording in Windows and exporting worked fine. On Linux, recording worked fine but export was broken. I look forward to testing this fixed version. Thank you Valve.

I haven't tested Steam Game Recording.
You could also use OBS Studio for this.
I've enabled v4l2loopback for streaming and it works flawlessly without affecting performance.

Unfortunately Game Recording left a bad taste on deck for me. Was playing E2M2 of DooM yesterday with a friend, and after dying 2 times because it's a difficult level we were basically at the end, and I thought to try the new recording function, so I hit the shortcut and my deck immediately just crashed and rebooted... I'll just keep the feature disabled for now.

I wonder if the Sony boss still dares to play 2K games now...

I so regret selling my old packing of UU2 :(
Bought UU1+2 on GOG again, but it's not really the same.
