Quoting: XpanderAnnoying, but shouldn't this be what Borderless Windowed Mode is for in games?Games will now leave fullscreen mode when the game window loses focus.Hopefully we will get the option to disable that new behaviour.
This is closer to Windows behaviour and fixes various issues with games hanging on some setups. (PR #2675)
That basically kills the dual-monitor and workspace usage for me. Having to do one more click to bring the game up after focus loss. At least there was hope per discussions on the discord that there might be an option for this in the future to bring old method back again.
Cant have nice things because windows behaviour i guess :(

Quoting: MohandevirEagerly waiting for the stable release. I'm not really familiar with these release cycles, but am I being "delusional" to think it might be soon?It should be soon, since they're in the release candidate stage yes.

Quoting: satorideponInterestingly, it seems they do not work with original Waydroid developers, looking at these [1 [External Link]] [2 [External Link]] GitHub pull requests (also this [External Link], maybe they just can't tell though), and instead developing their own fork?Well, nothing has been confirmed, but like with DXVK people wouldn’t admit it until the Valve announcements remember. All very hush as usual for Valve stuff, but it’s clearly pretty obvious now Valve are involved.

Quoting: Stellahttps://steamdeckhq.com/news/valve-rockstar-fix-gta-online-steam-deck/TBH, that just sounds like a standard support response.
There may be some hope on the horizon after all

Added to the article but will also comment for visibility:
PSA: If our GOG links don't open - blame your plugins. Some browser plugins at some point decided to just auto-close certain affiliate links, the same links we've used for a long time now. They used to give a message asking if you wish to proceed, now some just…don't. You should report the issue to whatever plugins you're using.

Valve heads to PAX Australia for the first time, maybe they'll finally get the Steam Deck

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyYeah, Valve Software will be at PAX Australia to tell us that they're going to release the Steam Deck locally in 2048... Meanwhile, everybody else - from two-bit nobodies through to billion dollar multinationals - can release their wares in a tenth of the time that Valve Software can, and generate a profit in the process!What people keep missing on this point though, is how Valve is still a relative newbie to the hardware game. When you think about all the other lot doing handhelds, laptops and so on, they already have *all* the contacts and stuff in place to ship near worldwide for various types of hardware. Stuff like this takes time, but even so, it has been a bit too long for our Aus friends.
