Seriously considering picking this one up. :) I honestly don't mind too much that they don't test Linux support. At least they're honest about it, and make an effort to fix things.

Something I noticed looking at the graphs... Our 2 biggest dips were both in March. Any theories as to why that could be?

Honestly, my main issue with Splitgate is the fact that they made a sequel after only a couple years... The original was wildly popular, and even had a rising esports scene. Why remake what wasn't broken?

"Improved situation with Once Human having bad stutter on certain setups."

Freaking finally! Game's been unplayable on the Deck for nearly a year because of this.

Well... since the perfect time to release the controller was over three years ago alongside the Steam Deck, I'd say: YES, its certainly Valve Time.

Wait, 3? What's that?

It's been awhile since I last played, but my biggest issue was the fact that there's no resolution options for fullscreen. You're forced to play at your monitor's native resolution. And considering that my gaming setup is a Steam Deck docked with a 1440p monitor...

I just added to my wishlist. That "save shifting" concept sounds interesting. :)

My biggest gripe with Palworld on the Steam Deck is that I essentially have to play in handheld mode. For some reason, it doesn't let me change the resolution in fullscreen. My monitor is 1440p, which means I'm lucky to even see double digit frames. There isn't (at least last I checked) a borderless windowed mode, so it's either a slide show, or a window that's basically the size of the built in screen anyway. Other than that, my biggest gripe with the game itself is the lack of server transfers for characters. I don't want to have to start from scratch every time I want to join a friend's world.

Funnily enough, the "friends in game" notification spam just started to annoy me the other day. I don't have that many friends, but it seemed to be giving multiple notifications for the same friend. This was especially annoying in handheld mode, where the notifications would cover part of the UI for the game I was playing.

I don't expect them to speed up any work on a Steam Deck 2 due to this either. Valve clearly have a plan, especially with SteamOS coming to more devices, and they're still waiting for a truly next-generation APU to slot into a Steam Deck 2.

This is right here is one of the biggest reasons why I respect Valve so much. Too many companies insist on annual release cycles, with no meaningful changes beyond "new and shiny"
