 colemickens | so does UMU work with any Steam game? I assume the games had runtime deps on Steam (... and Steam running) ? | 05:36:33 |
| colemickens | Or is it more specifically about using the steam proton tooling for non-steam windows games? | 05:37:07 |
| colemickens | I feel like I took a year off of Linux gaming and need a new map! 🥲 | 05:37:25 |
 K900 | UMU is specifically running Proton | 05:41:05 |
| K900 | Like it's basically replicating what Steam does to run Proton | 05:41:31 |
| K900 | With pressure-vessel and stuff | 05:41:33 |
| colemickens | let me rephrase :) can I use UMU/Faugus to launch Halo: Infinite, installed via Steam, without needing Steam running? | 05:41:35 |
| colemickens | (I can take this elsewhere, also; it's certainly not NixOS specific) | 05:41:48 |
| K900 | Depends on whether the game actually talks to Steam or not | 05:42:08 |
| K900 | Most do | 05:42:08 |
| K900 | And will probably complain about Steam not being there | 05:42:08 |
| K900 | But some don't and for those it should work | 05:42:20 |
| colemickens | I see. Ok. Thanks. | 05:42:27 |
| K900 | You can also just pirate-ify the game if you're playing single player | 05:43:44 |
| K900 | By giving it a fake steam_api.dll | 05:43:44 |
| K900 | Which I will not link to here for legal reasons | 05:44:09 |

| K900 | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/425843 Mesa 25.2-rc if anyone wants to test things | 17:25:07 |
| K900 | This should, among other things, expose enough software FP8 to run FSR4 with Proton on RDNA3 | 17:25:44 |
 Charles | oh fun | 17:41:39 |
 debtquity | anybody here able to get marvel rivals running | 20:57:22 |
 woobilicious | Is that strictly RDNA3 if it's just soft FP8? I'm curious how terrible it would be on my RX 5700 XT lol, to bad I don't have any games with FSR4 | 22:05:10 |

| woobilicious | K900: your post mentions Intel-RT on non-x86, does that mean you can run Arc graphics on Arm? | 23:42:59 |

| woobilicious | Reading through the 8bit emulation MR's, there's no mention of it specifically being restricted to RDNA3, there's one bit of code that specifically has "<= gtx11" too, so looks like it might support all models, but maybe I missed something. | 00:04:56 |
 olivia | if you have a link to the MRs, I could double check if you want | 00:41:45 |
| woobilicious | it's more that I can't find any MRs that hint to restricting or even adding FP8 support, it's more that FP8 already works for what ever reason, and they're just adding optimizations.
I just searched FP8 or 8bit and there's only a few results that seem relavant:
