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.
Neat, this is with an external dGPU working as well.
Excellent, may need to pick this up for a few friends.
Does it require linking to an Activision whatever when you play it from Steam?
There is a developer facing video on how to enable and enrich timeline events: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwBD0E4-EsI
Though I’m not sure yet in whether timeline events are automatically created from existing game aachievement scenarios etc.
Where did I say they were harvesting data?
I’d presume through the same mechanism leveraged for achievements:
Timeline and Event Markers
The Steam Timeline appears whenever you’re actively recording. Timeline-enhanced games generate event markers as relevant game events happen. Steam achievements and screenshots automatically create markers as well.
ISVs can enhance this as desired:
In addition to being able to record any game you’re playing, timeline-enhanced games are games that can proactively notify Steam when relevant events happen. These events are represented along the timeline with details specified by developers.
I’d think this could have broader reach than nvidia highlights depending on how easy it is to work with.
I can see this being pretty clever. Valve will be able to interpret a bunch of game event data for smart capture.
Love a bit of modded valheim but that audio quirk is fucking annoying.
I’ve not observed the same with other unity games featuring native Linux builds, it’s likely specific to the engine version they use?
I didn’t realise this was Linux native. appreciate you calling it out
it’s a newer display server protocol designed to replace X11, focusing on improved security, simplicity, and contemporary display technologies such as multi-display variable refresh rate and HDR (eventually).

Wonderful! I don’t suppose you’ve also checked out echopoint nova? the demo got another small update for this next fest
Thoroughly enjoyed this. You may also enjoy severed steel.
What issue are you facing there? Can you tell us which GPU and driver you’re using?
Appreciate you following up to edit for context.
Oh boy, a bit of a troublemaker. Still a very pretty moth. Thank you for the info.
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.
