With the use of Heroic game launcher, I’m wondering if you all preferred to play your GOG version of games over the Steam version. I can go either way but sometimes I pause and think, having two copies of the same game, one on steam and one on GOG, which one would give me a better gaming experience. For example, I may choose the GOG version because I don’t have to deal with pre-shader work being downloaded every so often. I can just into my games. Yet, Steam achievements and seeing the game’s metadata is always life: seeing the game info, store page, community stuff about the game, and more all there. So what do you chose? GOG game or the Steam game.
I love steams game metadata. I wish I could enable it for non steam games. Regarding shaders - I turned off precaching as it was taking gigabytes of space that I needed. I haven’t noticed a difference in game load time compared to my friends who still have it enabled.
You can turn off preshaders, check the settings
I used to be a huge fan of GOG with the whole DRM free thing. But their poor Linux support just drove me to Steam. They promised a Linux version of their launcher for years. The request has 14,000 up votes. But they still won’t create a Linux version. I honestly don’t particularly care about the launcher, it’s just the fact that Linux is not a priority for them.
Combining that with the lack of GeForce Now support I’ve basically gone to only using them for older classic games.
