Steam: News

Record crowbars

* We did it internet!

* 12,280 Half-Life players got together to set a new all-time peak player record for Half-Life.

* The #RememberFreeman campaign is a sequel of sorts to last year’s “Breaking the Bar” event, which smashed Half-Life 2’s concurrent player record.

* I fully support the community coming together to play the actually good old games, not the website.

* It was the largest spike since Steam Charts started recording it: https://steamcharts.com/app/70

Proton

* Our long national nightmare is over. You can Play Chuzzle Deluxe on linux

* No big features, just game specific fixes.

* WHAR spoodermang fixes?

* That is a fat chunk of what was in Experimental.

Experimental

* Re-Volt and Vermintide 2 have been fixed.

* I would strongly recommend you use Luxtorpeda and set Re-Volt to run with RVGL.

* It runs much better on the Deck.

* Cutscenes in Dragon’s Dogma Dark Arisen should be slightly less choppy now.

* Halo Infinite gets ingame on AMD. GE has had it running for a while, but it’s good to see mainline proton catching up

* Apparently Vermintide is still a little unstable if you’re not the host

* Elite dangerous is still borked for me

Steam numbers

* Valve is working on a “year in review” page for the winter sale.

* So far it indicates playtime and total sessions for the year.

* Deck playtime is one of the metrics and that’s worth watching out for.

* This is per user as of right now.

* Those numbers you see were just from the xPaw himself.

* Though, I do hope someone will figure out a way to get the info of that out of at least the public SteamIDs.

* It would be great to see those deck numbers vs. the mac and desktop Linux numbers.

Steam: New Games

Neodash

* Distance minus the multiplayer

* More physics platformer with wheels.

* I think I played this during the snek peek event a while back.

* One dude spent the last two years making this.

* Single player and clocking in at a hefty 1.

Axiom Verge 2 exits Epic Early Access! Steam gets crazy with Joy-Cons, simplifying id Software store listings, and NVIDIA releases a bunch of files that end in h. Then Blacken Slash faces, the ChairAQsition. All this, plus your emails.
