The floppy disk beside the Steam cog and its Game saves page are gone. A game's
page now has Manage saves beside Proton prefix, a menu with Import saves (a
GameHub or Winlator zip, picked in the app's file picker; the saves there now are
backed up first), Export as GameHub zip, Export as Winlator zip (a folder picked
the same way) and Open save folder. The game's saves are looked for when the menu
opens. The Proton list and config.vdf reader only that page needed are removed.
A floppy disk beside the Steam page's cog opens a Game saves page, laid out like
Components: the Proton at the top (from the client's compatibility tools, with
bannerlator-proton-arm64 shown as Proton Experimental), the zip type beside it
(GameHub or Winlator, LB / RB turn it), and the games the client runs with that
Proton (CompatToolMapping, its default for the rest), each with Import and Export.
Import picks a zip in the app's file picker, backs up the game's steamuser profile
to Download/DroidDeck/Saves/backups, then unzips drive_c with any user folder but
Public renamed to steamuser, so GameHub and Winlator zips both land. Export finds
the save folders by name under the usual roots (Bannerlator's SaveLocator), or
takes the whole profile, and writes <Game>_<date>.zip to a folder picked the same
way, under steamuser (GameHub) or xuser (Winlator). Imports wait while a session
runs. Ported from Bannerlator's GameSaveBackup and SaveLocator.
* feat: stand in for /dev/uinput so Steam Input's virtual pads reach games
* feat: present the pad to the Steam client as a Steam Deck controller over hidraw
* docs: log the uinput stand-in and the Steam Deck controller
* feat: feed the handheld's gyro and accelerometer to the Steam Deck controller
* feat: let the Steam page choose between the Steam Deck controller and the Xbox 360 pad
* feat: Deck back grips and trackpads on the second screen
* fix: serialize ring teardown with its writers, fall back to the Xbox pad when the Deck cannot be set up, and read motion only for a Deck
* fix: keep the second screen's choice through sleep and bring it back on wake
The Steam menu is an overlay that takes input without changing gamescope's focus
window. A fullscreen wine game minimizes itself when it loses input, and gamescope
only takes a window out of iconic when the focus window changes, so after Resume
the game stayed minimized: a black screen with its caption in the top-left corner
(Titanfall 2 on GE-Proton 11, proven on device).
gamescope patch 0112 remembers the iconify request and puts the window back to
NormalState before input returns to it, then hands focus over again so wine
restores and activates it. The session script also asks gamescope to restore the
game once input comes back from the client (GAMESCOPE_RESTORE_FOCUS_WINDOW);
BL_RESTORE_ON_RESUME=0 turns that off.
* perf: cache pinned downloads, skip unchanged proot rebuilds, and wait out a Docker Desktop restart in the local build
* perf: skip xalia and gamescope realtime queues by default, add a realtime toggle, default the mic off
* fix: show the saved Steam Deck mode on the Steam page before Performance has been opened
The gamepad-cursor port queried the X pointer on every vblank, a
blocking round trip to Xwayland on the paint thread. With no cursor
image the position comes from wlserver as upstream; while the cursor is
hidden for inactivity X is asked every 50 ms. The realtime-queue comment
now says it is a no-op on KGSL Turnip.
The session's watchers slept with sleep(1) and read files with cat, an
exec each under proot; they now wait in bash itself. steam-compat
writes its tool, the adopted wrappers and config.vdf only when they
change, the games watcher probes ownership when its matches change or
every five minutes instead of every 30 s, and Proton no longer inherits
the client's steamrtarm64 library path.
A replaced buffer went straight back to a game with no frame limit, so a
MAILBOX/IMMEDIATE swapchain drew frames that were never shown; it now
comes back once per refresh as in WinNative. gamescope's -r and the
compositor read the rate of the mode the activity asked for rather than
the one the panel was still in, and the zero-copy layer votes it.
Sustained performance mode, which caps clocks on most power HALs, and
the ADPF session, which reported frame intervals as work, are gone.
fake_id0 (loaded by -i for Xwayland's set*id) now traces only the set*id
family and the xattr fixups when the ids given are proot's own, and the
seccomp filter traces ioctl only for the termios and FICLONE requests
proot rewrites. The faccessat2 and statx exit stops are dropped on
kernels that have the calls.
* fix: give the QAM chord a Guide lead that stretches with slow frames so A is not taken as a press
* fix: start the QAM Guide lead at 80 ms and stretch it only when frames are slow
* fix: set the QAM Guide lead minimum to 80 ms
* fix: use Android's 300 ms double-tap window for Back so the single-press action comes sooner
* fix: keep the 500 ms Back double-press window
