As far as I know, it has always been specifically for Direct3D 12, which makes sense because of that version’s design similarities to Vulkan.

DXVK does the same thing for earlier Direct3D versions.

The beauty of the setting is that we can choose a different FPS limit for each game, regardless of which API it uses, even if the game doesn’t offer a limiter of its own. 90 is more than enough for a lot of isometric-view games. 180 is helpful in competitive first-person shooters, where every frame is an advantage. 50 or 60 in graphics-intensive turn-based games like Baldur’s Gate 3* lets the art shine while keeping my GPU cool and my power bill relatively tame.

*BG3 has its own limiter, so in its case, the same can be done without the dxvk setting.

Also, lower frame rates are generally less noticeable on smaller displays (at any given distance). We can take advantage of this to save money and extend hardware life when not gaming on an IMAX screen.

Variable refresh rate displays are pretty common these days. :)

Looks like the new dxvk.maxFrameRate is a convenience setting that applies its value to both dxgi.maxFrameRate and d3d9.maxFrameRate. That’s nice for those of us who use it to save power and reduce heat, rather than to work around API-specific renderer bugs.

Example: export DXVK_CONFIG="dxvk.maxFrameRate=90"

Valve hasn’t shared its original planned price for the Steam Machine. But the recent price increases to the Steam Deck OLED — up $240 for the 512GB version, and up $300 for the 1TB version — “should give you a ballpark estimate of how much the Steam Machine’s target had moved,” according to an Aftermath interview with Valve. Subtracting those same price hikes from the current Steam Machine prices nets out at theoretical original prices of $809 for the 512GB model and $1,049 for the 2TB model.

I wish they hadn’t put a close-up shot of the antagonist on the store page. It kind of undermines the suspense.

I don’t see any such comment. I guess federation could be lagging.

Rampage (1986) comes to mind, but (minor) enemies are present and I don’t think it applies damage in layers.

A You Should Know post is generally expected to offer little-known information, mainly the kind that can significantly improve many people’s quality of life. What you have posted here is widely known and trivial, and therefore fails both criteria.

It would be a better fit in Today I learned. (But not much better, because pointing out the existence of an old, well-documented, basic software feature is not the least bit interesting.)

a lot of the rule changes on the road to 5e (especially to magic) are tied to in-universe events that wouldn’t have happened yet.

Feel like sharing some examples?

The word naphtha comes from Latin through Ancient Greek (νάφθα), derived from Middle Persian naft (“wet”, “naphtha”), the latter meaning of which was an assimilation from the Akkadian 𒉌𒆳𒊏 napṭu (see Semitic relatives such as Arabic نَفْط nafṭ [“petroleum”], Syriac ܢܰܦܬܳܐ naftā, and Hebrew נֵפְט neft, meaning petroleum)

This is extremely dangerous command! If anything goes wrong for whatever reason and the variable $tempdir is empty at the time of this command, then it would delete everything.

And this danger is not merely theoretical. Steam for Linux did it in 2015.

Are you implying that Spice Hoarder is a camel?

They already screwed me over with the trilogy.

How?

Time for the usual troubleshooting steps:

• Have you Checked for errors in the log output of…
  • Steam?
  • Proton?
  • The game?
• What changed on your system between the last time WoW worked properly and the first time it didn’t?
  • OS update?
    • Kernel?
    • Drivers?
  • Proton update?
  • Steam update?
  • Game update?
  • Battle.net update?
• Are you watching for other people discussing the same problem?

Blizzard has a recurring history of making changes to Games and Battle.net that break in Wine. When this happens, workarounds can sometimes be found (such as reverting to a prior Battle.net version), but a real fix often requires waiting a few weeks or months for Proton to adapt. It happened roughly once per year when I was last playing their games.

Good luck.

Another thought: Are you running Wine in a container of any kind? If so, have you given it access to your /dev/hidraw* devices? I have seen behavior like you describe when a game was unable to access them (but was able to access /dev/input/*).

If the game ignores the disabled state that you applied in Wine’s controller config, I wonder if it’s using SDL for input. In that case, you might try exporting an environment variable telling SDL to ignore the controller.
