Fixed the flashlight HUD showing empty after loading a savegame.

FINALLY.

One thing to note with this update: if you had a per-application framerate cap set previously then updating will make the Deck forget about it because of the new slider. I ate most of my battery playing GTA Batman before I noticed.

HDR ON LINUX?
Ok i get it it Steam Deck only, but HOT DAMN!

It's gamescope only for now; the kernel work is ongoing, and there's a Wayland spec in progress. Gamescope uses a cut-down version of that spec for HDR in one fullscreen application, and KDE Plasma is using that same cut-down version for the same purpose in Plasma 6.

Reports in the Steam forum are that 3.5.2 being geared for the Deck OLED with its thicker fan have broken the fan curves for the OG fan.

What have you been playing lately?

I've been working my way through the Shadowrun games for the last little while - I'm just finishing up Hong Kong now. The (default) community controller layout makes it an excellent experience on the Deck.

Quoting: mad_mesaLooking on the brightside, the English-only tracker hit an all time high with Linux at 4.15%.

Where (and HOW) can this info and percentage be displayed on the Steam Survey information site?

It's a derived value.

Quoting: BrokattLooks great but I would like an update on mesa-git that was said to be bundled before I switch to the snap. Is it there? Is it working?

If you're using the edge channel of Steam, the Snap relies on the gaming-graphics-core22 Snap for graphics packages (see snap connections steam). You may switch gaming-graphics-core22 to a different channel to use different versions of mesa and other graphics libraries.

Currently, the channels are oibaf-latest (bleeding edge), kisak-fresh (new, but stable), and kisak-turtle (most stable). Switch between them with the following:

snap refresh gaming-graphics-core22 --channel <channel>

Quoting: MohandevirSteamOS 3.5 that's taking ages to reach stable... What is holding them back?

SteamOS 3.5 is the first time that the underlying OS got updated. I suspect they were expecting to just take another Arch snapshot, apply their patches, and then move onto other things - after all, Steam works on every distro already, and a lot of Valve's stuff has been upstreamed. Easy. But... that's not what happened. People testing 3.5 said that it was very broken, and it remained very broken for quite some time. And while Valve are busy putting out fires for that snapshot the Arch hosepipe has kept on going, meaning that Valve also need to come up with a sane way to keep rebasing on Arch snapshots much more easily than this time, to keep doing it for the next 10 years or so without just being distro maintainers that never get anything else done.

That sounds like it was quite inspired by Westwood's Blade Runner point & click. Which was great, so I'm all for that.

They could do with updating the System Requirements box:

Additional: Requires Adobe AIR 2.6 to be installed (installer scripts included)
