Not listed on the changelog, but this driver seems to fix also:

- Fix broken shader cache issue that was in previous 535. Basically it didn't read the shader cache from disk and compiled new one each game start

- Fix for Metro Exodus EE graphics corruption, no need to use the workaround __GL_b5f2b3=0xFFFFFFFF anymore

those were the only issues i encountered with previous drivers and seem to have been resolved.

Quoting: SolitaryCan you be more specific? I don't remember if I had to do anything, but maybe I did... I have played Arkham Asylum long time ago, and last time I played it was on Steam Deck and that was also year ago.
Have you read and checked solutions here? https://www.protondb.com/app/35140 [External Link]

There seems to be one advice repeating even on Deck protontricks d3dx9 d3dcompiler_43

shouldnt it be protontricks 35140 d3dx9 d3dcompiler_43

without the game id, it installs it into what prefix? :D

Quoting: GuestDoes anyone know if the new Observer fixes the motion sickness the old one seemed to give a lot of people?

What gave the motion sickness to you exactly?
I personally played it at launch and after tweaking the ini files to increase the FoV,disable the idiotic chromatic abberation, disable depth of field and remove the 63 fps cap, it was pretty ok to play and i quite enjoyed it. Played the native linux build and back near the launch, so things might have changed a lot since.
Or was there some weird HeadBobbing issue?

Vulkan dev driver before that had Xid109 problems with Cyberpunk2077. 535.54.03 has been perfect with no complaints from me, except the shader cache seems broken on the latest driver. So games with lots of shaders will compile them every time since the driver has a bug to read them from disk. seems vulkan dev one fixes that but its still on the 525 branch which hasnt fixed the Xid109's i think.
Hopefully new 535 that fixes the shader cache issues will be released soon also.

Quoting: michaInterestingly, it seems the upward change solely comes from Ukraine:

Quoting: slaapliedjePerformance for BPM is pretty crap at 4k on a RTX 2080... been playing on my 77" OLED lately, and moving around in the menus is pretty slow.

Granted, last night ran into a weird bug where the Steam Controller overlay button wouldn't bring up the overlay... had to go to the keyboard and press Shift+Tab to bring it up.

Ha, using the Steam Deck UI on a 77" screen is awesome though.

Could be. I have no use for BPM, so i haven't tried it.

The problems i have with the steam client (desktop):

-60 FPS capped client. No way to remove the cap
-smooth scrolling is super slow in terms of how much the scroll moves. have to waste my scrollwheel a lot
-friends/buddy window doesnt remember its place on the second monitor on client start (it remembered fine with old UI)
-After 1-2 days of the client running VRAM usage grows without releasing it. client restart fixes it

Other than that the new UI is pretty neat. Text is a bit smaller on my 1440p screen which is nice also.

sadly it seems it doesnt work for below 1
i tried 0.5 and it doesnt make any difference.
Too bad, whould have liked things to be smaller on my 27" 1440p screen, but its not a huge problem as the new UI is already a bit smaller with fonts than the old one was, luckily

Quoting: haikuAnyone else suffering on a 4k's monitor [External Link] ? :dizzy:

I would love this on my 2560x1440p 27" screen
Imo the fonts are too big still.. well the new UI makes it a lot better than the old UI, but huge waste of space with the huge fonts imo. I mean sure if you use it in TV on your living room then yeah i can see you want bigger fonts but not on a computer monitor. At least for me the smaller the font the more space for the stuff i have.

Old with big font top row:

It looks nicer. Font sizes are nicely smaller also on the top row and its more consistent with its theme stuff now, but its extremely buggy. Smooth scrolling is super slow, its like they changed how fast it scrolls. Have to scroll like crazy to move it. It also seems to eat VRAM a lot more than stable and doesn't seem to release VRAM when theres no activity. So yeah. lot of work to do i guess but its a start.
