Thanks for posting these!

Does anyone know why notifications don't seem to work on the forum for announcements? I feel like this configuration should get me an email whenever a new version is posted but it doesn't seem to work:

EDIT: I changed For topics and boards I've requested notification on, notify me: to "instantly" instead of only for the first reply. Maybe that will help.

Probably? Honestly I just read the sections of the docs that were relevant to what I needed and clicked buttons until things worked. Tutorials are dangerous because the moment they are published they are out of date, unless the author goes back and updates it regularly which is pretty rare, or impossible if it's something like a youtube video.

Anyway it's a GUI application with lots of tool tips and all that, it's not difficult to use.

Bottles (https://usebottles.com/) is what you're looking for, sandboxing is one of it's primary features. It can use lutris prefixes too if you need them.

EDIT: It's only sandboxed if you use the flatpak, just FYI.

Same, not going to give piles of money away for a game I'd need to maintain a windows installation for when zero of the other titles I play require that.

Lol

23.7 update went well. Reboot required obviously. Going to need to revisit the ddclient situation though. Last I checked I could not get the replacement to work with my provider. Hopefully the situation has improved.

Oops, I somehow missed that shellsharks is also an admin. Glad to see you've got some help.

Apologies if this is a dumb suggestion, I only briefly tested it, but couldn't you simply run your display at a lower resolution? The deck would perform better and the interface/game scale would match each display correctly.

EDIT: Ah, maybe you mean the desktop, not the steam deck game interface, in which case things would look pretty bad at a lower resolution.

Yeah I suspect it's easier when not running in proton, but still. Honestly the mod situation on AC makes me nervous. I use content manager and I realize rain is developed by the same person, but there's a ton of random, questionable quality code out there that people seem not to think twice about bolting on to the game.

That's not to say that official game dev companies don't do shady stuff, or don't have poor security practices. I dunno, maybe I shouldn't go down this rabbit hole =]

If we're doing a wet challenge I'd prefer one of the other popular sims with officially supported rain (I think ACC and AMS2 both have this). My reasoning is mostly selfish though, I spent a long time trying to get rain working in AC and eventually gave up.

I'm not sure of another way to align the driving position with my actual position in real life. Some games call it seat position and some call it camera position but they all have an adjustment for it, so I kindof assume that is it's purpose.

Sadly VR does not agree with me so I'm stuck with looking at a screen.

So, there's not a lot of information here, but on the off chance that your environment is exactly the same as mine (Desktop with on-board bluetooth controller) make sure your included "WiFi antenna" that came with the motherboard is plugged in. It's also the bluetooth antenna and devices won't connect if it's not attached.

Otherwise, please provide more information, like hardware config, logs, installed packages, running services, etc.

ah, I apologize, I thought that was some sort of camera automation. I totally understand and didn't mean to make fun of you.
