Steam Deck gets a global resolution override in latest Beta, plus more desktop Steam fixes
25 Aug 2024 at 5:06 am UTC

Quoting: Caldathras
Quoting: MohandevirDo we know if Valve is working to bring something similar to lossless scaling to SteamOS? It seems it does "miracles" on Windows side, on ANY game.

Is it better than AMD FSR? I must admit that I can't compare, I don't have a Windows partition. :sick:
I could be wrong (no Steam Deck), but isn't that what Gamescope does?
Gamescope has different system wide upscalers (Linear, Pixel, FSR, NIS), but from what I understand, lossless scaling is Windows only and works differently. Instead of lowering the resolution, you lower the fps cap to, Let's say 30 and lossless scaling will raise it to 60fps.

I would be curious to try that on SteamOS. This said, in-game FSR3 should give better results.

Take this with a pinch of salt, it's just my understanding.

Microsoft breaks some Linux dual-boots in a recent Windows update

I think I'll probably reinstall a Windows partition, just for the pleasure of being mad at Microsoft... Not. :grin:

The only way I'll use Windows is through GeForce Now. I'll let Nvidia manage this garbage OS. :wink:

Steam Deck SteamOS 3.6.10 Beta 'Tenth time's the charm' fixes some real nuisances

How long has it been since they started working on version 3.6?

I'm still on the stable branch, on my LCD Steam Deck... Am I missing a lot?

Nice idea... Just received the 7in1 model, a couple of hours ago. Should have come here first! :grin:

This said, my iVoler model was acting weird (hdmi not connecting at every time and micro sd card, in my SD, unusable when docked, go figure...)

The sd card thing is pretty weird. Anyone else got a similar issue?

Edit (26/07):
Yep! Issue with SD card gone, with jsaux dock.

Quoting: MohandevirHappy birthday GoL!

Time flies waaaaaayyyyy to fast! Since 2012, when I found GoL, it quickly became my preferred source of Linux gaming news!

Keep doing your awesome work Liam and colabs! I still need my daily fix! :wink:
And thinking about 2012 and the first game I played on Steam for Linux: "The cake is a lie" :grin:

GameCube and Wii emulator Dolphin moves to a more rapid release cycle
4 Jul 2024 at 6:00 pm UTC Likes: 3

For my part, I hope for a more controller friendly user interface. That's my wishlist.

This said Dolphin is pretty awesome for my Wii games. The upscaling to 1080p gives a new breath to these games that we used to play at 480i or 480p (with the right cable).

Good work guys!

Edit: And forgot to mention all the specific wii hardware support or emulation that's pretty great (Bluetooth Wiimotes, Skylanders Portal, Floor mat, etc...).

Keeping the Steam Deck relevent for current gen games. Nice!
