I haven’t played GTA 5 or online in a good few years now, but I’m curious, does this affect popular mods like fivem in any way?

E: TIL fivem was acquired by rockstar 🤡

my charger is fine, but could you pet the cat for me? 🥺

I’ve been lucky enough to dumb guy my fedora install since 28, and it’s been pretty decent to me. Granted I’m not using nvidia graphics, and I feel like that could throw a big spanner in the works for regular users. It’s a big enough leap getting into the mindset of installing software from Distro repos rather than directly from the vendor.

I hope the newer nv open kernel modules don’t stay out of tree. Also hope that NVK will give users the ability to just plug and play with mesa drivers in the future.

waiting to see it ported to the HTC hd2

Perhaps they were looking at people using SnapTap and similar technologies, which were recently banned in CS2.

I feel like analogue / hall effect switches can lend a player a substantial advantage in apex when it comes to strafing. I wonder if they’ve tried to mitigate that.

Glad to hear it!

small update - there’s been a minor (17.4 MiB) patch to Apex since. Could be worth checking in with it to see if it has resolved linux compat,

Edit - it’s working for me on Fedora 40 Workstation. NB that I’ve never hit the original anticheat issue to begin with, and I use the following launch command to run the game under VKD3D (mostly AoT shader compilation) along with suppressing launch splash screens / videos and presenting Mangohud

mangohud %command% -novid -anticheat_settings=SettingsDX12.json

Edit 2 - tested again this morning and still working fine. I think you folks are good to go.

A week ago they made an announcement referring to anti cheat improvements. Today, a couple of friends on Windows noted that the game no longer launched with AutoHotKey enabled (no malicious use cases, just using 60% keyboards) as of last night’s minor update.

Since the game is deck verified, I’d expect respawn will resolve this soon enough.

Yikes I wasn’t aware of the second part

I was about to ask, isn’t this guy a prolific dickhead?

the reset situation may improve in the not too distant future: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMDGPU-Per-Ring-Resets

You’re not wrong. I have no idea about the call of duty one either. I’m guessing it similarly doesn’t work.

It sort of highlights another issue; even though a game technically leverages an AC system that can work in Steam, individual developers may not bother getting it running on Linux.

I’m no fan of Fortnite, but you can’t deny it’s massively popular. I hope the steam deck sees continued success in order to sway developers. Broadening SteamOS to other HW platforms may also help to an extent.

Oh right, neat!

I guess I’m just thinking of a couple games with BE who have not bothered to reach out for this.

I think EA and Activision also have newish, bespoke anti-cheat for Battlefield and call of duty respectively. I don’t believe either of those work on Linux but I could be mistaken.

I think battleeye too?

the fact that valve went and provided official support for a popular, third party, higher res display is pretty wild.

Correct - FSR already applies CAS. I don’t think applying another CAS pass on top of that will work out too well.

FSR already incorporates CAS towards the end of the scaling process. The Adrenalin equivalent is called RIS but applies CAS to the entire rendered frame. I believe some apps allow you to tune CAS individually (2077 comes to mind?)

Neat, this is with an external dGPU working as well.

You can still technically use Vega and Polaris with ROCm, the official stance is that it’s no longer validated.

With that said, the setup and development experience is pretty dire and the docs do not seem to get updated in a timely manner.

(I heard)

Anecdotes aren’t data. It’s not difficult to find comparative pricing information. I think you would generally find this is untrue, though it’s worth considering regional pricing.

no CUDA

EULA violation. This one is cut and dry. You could have made a better point about the state of ROCm (narrow product and platform support, poor documentation, library gaps in HIP).

intel has best support

Look at the state of ANV for Arc dGPU on Linux.
