Plavnieks had installed a game called BlockBlasters, a 2D platformer listed on Steam that launched July 31, 2025 to a small audience who’d given it positive reviews. But the game was a scam and an August patch injected malware into the game that was meant to scan a user’s hard drive for data and, ultimately, their crypto. BlockBlasters is no longer listed on Steam and has been flagged as malicious by the independent Steam archiving site SteamDB. Valve did not respond to 404 Media’s request for comment.
20 hours in without a hitch* and loving the game. Bazzite with a 4090.
Regarding your issue, Steam automatically installed the BattleEye runtime for me before it installed the game but I have seen reports on ProtonDB of some folk needing to install it themselves. Not sure how to do that, but maybe a game reinstall would force it.
* Well, first time I booted it up the game erroneously complained my Gen 5 NVMe was too slow. But that message hasn’t come back and it hasn’t stopped me or impacted performance.
I’m running Bazzite on a 4090 (driver version 570), having hopped from PopOS. Pleased to say that DLSS and frame gen work perfectly. HDR support is spotty but some games do support it.
Big picture mostly works and is smooth, but you do get weird corruption on some menus (like the left pull out menu when you press the home button). This also happens on some of the pull down menus on the desktop view but thankfully it’s rare. My partner is running a 3080 and it’s worse for her, for some reason.
I’ve been daily driving Endeavour OS for a few months now and it’s great. It’s Arch based so there is a learning curve but it’s worth getting over the hump.
I see you’ve used Knex.
There you are.
Queen shit.
This made my day, thank you.
You know, I always forget that was also… Hatsune Miku.
In this house we retroactively attribute Father Ted and IT Crowd to Hatsune Miku.
“Thank goodness you’re here” vibes. I love it.
Hey, I recognise those stairs.
Very cool.
Depends on the dog. My littlest one is too light to wear his nails down by walking alone.
Good luck, see you on the sands!

Yes, flawlessly!

I’d say it’s 99% of the way there.
100% agree. This jumped right to the top for me, really enjoyed it and always recommend it to people.
I’m a simple man. I see PRIZM, I upvote.

I had to do the same thing. Email them with your invoice as proof of purchase. It took about a week but they did eventually get back to me.
It’s a Ubisoft Launcher code though. Haven’t tried running the launcher on Linux yet.
New Lipsum unlocked.
