Any of you feel like we've become so fixated on graphics and perfomance to the point where the actual game part of a video game is often overlooked, or at least underemphasized? I don't know about the rest of you, but all I come across on social media regarding gaming is about resolution, ray tracing, DLSS/FSR, frame rates, frame time, CPU and GPU untilization, and all of that stuff, and I'm honestly sick of it! I mean performance markers have always been discussed when it comes to PC gaming, but now even console gaming is getting this treatment! Don't you miss the days when you just installed the game and just played it? I know I do. What do you think?

 

I'm currently using Bazzite Gnome with open Nvidia drivers, and I cannot get Steam Input to work with non-steam games at all. I have games from GOG and Epic Games that I downloaded through Heroic Games Launcher, and I tried everything for steam input work with them, but it just doesn't seem to work. Here is what I did:

  1. I added the games to the steam client.
  2. I configured the device inputs under "Controller" from the settings menu.
  3. I made sure that the game I want to play has steam input turned on.
  4. I disabled the "use desktop configuration in launcher" option.
  5. I disabled steam input for non-game controller layouts.
  6. I made sure to enable steam input for all types of controllers.

Non of these steps seem to remedy the issue. I want to make it clear that I did not experience this issue while using the Steam Deck, which is also running a Linux distribution. Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

 

Hello guys. I posted this problem elsewhere but I've yet to find a solution. I'm experiencing an extremely annoying issue in which the monitor keeps disconnecting and reconnecting in loop post login after a system update. I've first experienced this issue with fedora after updating my system and installing nvidia graphics card. I then tried Bazzite, same exact issue, but at least with Bazzite I can roll back the update, which is a temporary solution. There are several culprits that could be causing this issue:

  1. Kernel update

  2. Nvidia drivers update

  3. Wayland

  4. All of the above

Is anyone else experiencing this exact issue? And if so, any solution besides rolling back the update? Any help is appreciated.

Relevant specs:

  1. Nvidia RTX 3060ti GPU

  2. Intel Core i5 11400F CPU

  3. Asus Prime B560M-K motherboard

  4. Samsung Odyssey G5 Monitor (connected through displayport)

I've seen this on an episode of House MD

The existence of GOG and Steam is why gaming is bearable in 2024

No, I was referencing a scene from the show "Space Force" where the exact same thing occurs.

You missed the main issue my friend, it's not about having a launcher or an account, it's the way their doing it.

No wonder indie games are getting more popular each year

Not to mention that Windows 10 is going EOL next year

I'm honestly against all the other launchers too, but at the very least I'm able to make an account without inputting false location info, as well as actually buy their games! But with Playstation it's a special case; Sony is the only gaming company that refuse to provide PSN in many countries for some fucking reason!

Well I expected that since I'm posting this on r/Steam it would be full of PC gamers, and usually PC gamers are older and therefore more mature than console gamers. I guess I was wrong!

Thank you for all the respectful comments. I complained about this on r/Steam on Reddit, thinking they'd discuss the issue like grown ups. All I got though was shit comments after shit comments, the likes of "cry about it" and "whomp whomp", someone even dismissed my rant as a "tantrum"!

 

This is affecting many PC gamers around the world, such as myself, as the last 3 PlayStation releases on Steam have been blocked in many countries. I wanna know what's your take on this. Please be respectful, and thank you. 😊
