The man mentions Chimera, Holo, and Bazzite, then proceeds to take the single most difficult route to installation, with the least amount of hardware support and functionality.

This is kind of par for the course for LTT. They somehow go the dumbest route in doing things and then wonder why things don’t work or break. I’d argue that most of the gaming related immutable distros should provide a decent out of the box experience, simply because that’s what they’re supposed to do. Maybe not quite as streamlined and fancy looking as SteamOS but functionality wise it should be fine and even more functional / flexible. Though, I’m sure he’ll then cry about additional ways to install things that are too complicated, like Distrobox, ignoring his own advice of just sticking to app stores like Discover, which somehow is only valid for SteamOS.

More game devs should be like the devs of Marvel Rivals when it comes to emulation

Assuming the new app doesn’t suck. Vortex was pretty shitty even on Windows. Manual modding is trash because it is impossible to keep track of your mods (unless you’re a very casual modder with only a handful of mods), which means eventually you just have to nuke the whole folder and start fresh. That’s why you want to use a proper mod organizer.

Interesting, and fairly new it seems. Vortex & MO2 kept breaking for me so I kinda stopped bothering with Bethesda games.

You’re missing out greatly then because most good mods won’t be on the workshop at all.

Arguably the handheld market is also much more of a niche in comparison to a gaming desktop. In the broader context of the size of the platform the Deck is doing pretty good.

Maybe try the AMD proprietary drivers

Not gonna happen, especially not for one title.

You probably want to get the new installer working. Try installing Edge WebView via Protontricks before running the installer.

Protontricks is for Proton games. And without installing the game / launcher I would not have a prefix to install this to anyway?

My guess is that the older version of the game is using a really old version of direct X or OpenGL that your drivers aren’t handling well. The newer version, being updated for Windows 10/11, should work just fine by contrast.

I think you’re confused. The game does not differentiate between the two launchers. It’s the same game regardless of which launcher you choose. Launchers are merely for downloading & updating games. I don’t know whether it uses DirectX or OpenGL but I know it uses Unreal Engine 2.5.

What distro do you use? What Desktop environment? X11 or Wayland? What’s your GPU? Which drivers do you use for it?

Bazzite, KDE, Wayland, 6650 XT, Kernel version 6.11.

I said that I tried to run it through Wine-GE, which requires something like Lutris. But what difference would it make anyway? It still installs through Wine. Also, the previous commenter did not talk about Lutris, but was referencing the two installers. Which, as I already said, there’s only two - the old and the new one, which I both referenced accordingly.

So I did my due diligence in providing information, then get called out for not providing information about the things that I already did provide. That’s just bitching for the sake of it at this point and completely unhelpful. If you need more information then tell me what type of info you need, instead of listing something that I clearly already mentioned.

There are only two launchers to choose from, so I’m not sure how much more specific you want me to be? lol

And I obviously installed them through Lutris & WINE in their standard folders. Not sure how else I’m supposed to do it.

When you’re trying to help, try to actually know something about the topic so you aren’t just giving empty advice.

Mbin also shows thumbnails on all of them. https://fedia.io/m/videos@lemmy.world

Steam’s year in review. Seems to be down at the moment though.

You think your personalized feed is not manipulated like this either? Or imagine someone new to the platform, he’s gonna immediately get bombarded by propaganda and disinformation, clicks on the videos, and then the personalized feed will feed them more of the same, radicalizing them even further.

And no, I’m not and I don’t. You’re clearly not getting the topic and why it is a problem.

By bad actors. Do you not remember The_Donald being practically at the top of everything on Reddit? Do you not understand why far right videos on YT & TicTok have so much traction? Everyone gets fed their own reality that completely contradicts with what is happening in the world, which is causing massive divisions among our societies.

If it suggest me things based on various factors that can be manipulated, then it is inherently bad.

And user control would be to give me filter options. Videos are already categorized & tagged, so why not let users specify which categories & tags they want to see - and which one they do not? Much better than some obtuse and brain dead algorithm flip flopping while trying to figure out what I want to watch.

I’m asking myself this question for many years. Especially since YT videos are categorized to a degree. Give users control over keywords, both to like more of them, and to filter certain ones out. Obviously not perfect either because not everything is going to be properly categorized & tagged, but it would be so much better than the current mess where some brain dead algorithm tries to figure out what I like.
