Games launched from Steam get Turnip's own per-render-pass choice between
tile memory and system memory again; TU_DEBUG=sysmem now stays with the
Steam client, whose interface it was set for. A per-game TU_DEBUG, the
debug override file and the Adreno 710/720 driver still win. On the
REDMAGIC tablet (Adreno 840) PEAK runs 46.8 -> 52.3 fps over 7 alternating
pairs and Valheim's 3D menu needs 12.6 % less GPU time per frame; light
games are unchanged.
droiddeck-seed-redists remembers the identity (inode, size, mtime) of each
prefix registry it has verified and skips re-reading it while it is
unchanged. Steam started after it on every session, ~1.8 s later.
SessionFiles keeps a ledger of the files it staged for the installed APK
and copies only the ones that changed, ~180 ms less per session start.
Session start to Steam ready: 5.57 -> 3.57 s.
RPCS3's AppImage could not start: its own runtime unpacks the image with
a dwarfsextract it runs from a memfd, which Android refuses (EACCES), and
it has no other way to run it. Emulator AppImages for arm64 now start
through the shipped uruntime, which falls back to a file in /tmp.
RPCS3 then stopped with "Null object" in utils::shm (errno 13): it reads
/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory to pick memfd for guest memory, and apps
cannot read it. The guest now gets the kernel's default policy (0) there
when the real file is unreadable, like file-max.
Adding a game from a single exe outside internal storage and the game
library, such as a microSD card, only showed "This location is not
available in the session" and added nothing. #1153 made "Add all games in
this folder" bind such a folder under /root/Games, but a picked exe still
had no guest path.
addExe now binds the folder the same way when the session cannot see the
exe (the game it belongs to, or else the exe's own folder), then adds the
game. The bind is mounted from the next session start.
A folder the session already sees is not bound again, and a folder the app
cannot read is still refused.
A GOG download only places the files, so games that look up their own registry keys (Fallout: New Vegas reads HKLM\Software\Bethesda Softworks\FalloutNV "Installed Path") said they were not installed. Every GOG launch now reads the setRegistry actions of the game's goggame-<id>.script and imports them into the prefix's 32-bit view through Proton's reg.exe, once per change of the script, so games already downloaded are fixed on their next launch.
The touch layout editor opened "App -<n> Layout" for a non-Steam shortcut
(an added game, the Epic Games Launcher) with LB, LT, RT, RB, both sticks
and LS/RS greyed out, so they could not be placed. Steam keys a shortcut's
controller config by the shortcut's lowercase name and logs its app id
unsigned, but the editor looked both up by the signed app id, found
neither, and fell back to a blank layout with nothing bound.
SteamTouchConfig now reads the shortcut's name from shortcuts.vdf, loads
and saves its layout under that name the way Steam does (autosave folder
and configset entry), and matches Steam's log line by the unsigned id. The
editor is titled with the game's name, and the app id in the panel is
shown unsigned. A name that is not a plain folder name (a
path separator, "." or "..", a quote, a backslash or a control character)
keeps the numeric app id. Existing configset entries are matched
without regard to case, as Steam reads them.
fix: let Wine write hooks into code FEX has translated
Wine 11's wineserver writes another process's memory with process_vm_writev,
which the kernel refuses on a page that is not writable. FEX's WoW64 layer
keeps the pages it has translated read-only to catch self-modifying code and
re-protects them right after a program unprotects them, so WriteProcessMemory
and NtWriteVirtualMemory into ntdll failed with a partial copy and Ubisoft
games stopped at "Error at hooking API NtProtectVirtualMemory". Wine only
falls back to /proc/<pid>/mem on ENOSYS or EPERM.
libblsession now completes a single-buffer write that wineserver was refused
with EFAULT through /proc/<pid>/mem, the way Wine wrote before Wine 11. Other
programs and every other error keep the kernel's answer. The iovecs are read
with process_vm_readv, so a bad pointer still returns EFAULT, and offsets are
64-bit in the i386 build.
Picking an exe anywhere under an added folder treated it as that game, so a
folder added with "Add all games in this folder" (or a removed one) swallowed
every game below it: picking another game's exe switched the folder game's
target, or brought the removed folder game back under its old name and art.
Only treat a pick as the same game when it sits in the folder root, in the
same top-level subfolder as the game's current exe, or is another build of
that exe, and prefer the deepest matching folder.
gamescope makes its cursor surfaces by attaching an shm buffer, committing,
destroying the buffer and only then calling wl_pointer.set_cursor. The
compositor kept that buffer only as a reference, so set_cursor found nothing
to publish: apps run from the front end (store apps, Flatpaks, emulators)
showed DroidDeck's fallback arrow, or no cursor at all after a desktop
session had hidden its own.
Copy a role-less surface's pixels when its held buffer is destroyed and
publish that copy when the surface becomes the cursor, for as long as the
surface lives.
A user app (script, AppImage or Flatpak) started from its shortcut runs in
a Run session, which took the Steam resolution (720p by default). It
ignored the resolution chosen under Open Desktop and was letterboxed at
1280x720 on screens that are not 16:9.
User apps now use the Desktop's resolution once one has been chosen. Until
then, and for every other Run program, nothing changes.

Adding a folder on an SD card outside the Steam library added nothing and said
"Nothing new in this folder": every game's exe had no guest path, so each one
was skipped. Since #542 nothing created the game-folder binds that let older
builds use such folders; only migrated ones remained.
addFolder now binds the picked folder under /root/Games (named as
GamesFolderMigration names them, with a suffix when the name is taken) when the
session cannot see it, then adds its games. The bind is mounted from the next
session start.
Nine storage plurals lacked the forms Arabic, French, Spanish, Italian
and Portuguese use (zero/two/few/many), and 71 strings across 16
languages were still the English text.
* Steam x86-64 client: menus come up, sign-in stays put, games listed once
Switching the Steam client from arm64 to x86-64 left the client on a blank
screen behind "Downloading the Steam client update 100%", and each switch
signed one of the clients out.
- The x86-64 client is Valve's steamrt64 platform, but it was installed and
synced from the ubuntu12 manifest, which lags it (1792108788 against
1792192922). The client was therefore never the arm64 client's build, the
arm64 web helper was never used, and the client then updated itself in
place after the helper had been chosen. Install, sync and the build check
now read the steamrt64 manifest.
- The x86 web helper's GPU process loads libpci, which exits when
/sys/bus/pci/devices lists a device whose files the app may not read (a
RedMagic's PCIe root ports). Every GPU process exited with status 1, even
in software, until Chromium gave up and the menus stayed blank. An empty
folder is bound over /sys/bus/pci/devices on such devices.
- Steam refuses one client's login token from the other ("Invalid
Password" for a token the arm64 client signed in with minutes before), so
copying the newer token at every start signed the other client out. Each
client now keeps its own token; a client with no accounts only gets the
other's account list.
- Games could be listed twice: an added game whose folder a Steam import
already covers is now shown as that Steam game only, a client switch
drops the old client's imported entries, an import stays one when its
ownership cannot be confirmed instead of gaining a shortcut beside it,
and only the client's own library folders count as an install.
* Steam x86-64 client: share the arm64 sign-in again
The x86-64 client refused the arm64 client's login token because it did
not know the account's SteamID: it takes it from Accounts in
config/config.vdf, which this script creates without one. It logged on as
[U:1:0] with a valid token, Steam answered "Invalid Password", and the
client dropped the token and AutoLoginUser, so every switch asked for the
password.
The newer sign-in is copied between the clients again, each start adds
the accounts either client knows to the other's config.vdf, and an
AutoLoginUser or RememberPassword one client lacks is filled in. Device:
the x86 client signs in with the arm64 token on a fresh install and on an
install left signed out, and the arm64 client stays signed in.
Valve's FEX opens rootfs paths with openat2(RESOLVE_IN_ROOT), which the
preload emulates under proot. droiddeck-fex's rootfs links to the Steam
runtimes with absolute paths outside the rootfs, so every lookup missed
and FEX fell back to the arm64 host files: x86 bash, and with it Stardew
Valley's launcher, failed on libdl.so.2. An absolute link whose target
is missing in the root but present on the host now finishes there.
- Pace the session at the rate the panel actually runs. When the system
keeps a lower rate than the mode DroidDeck asked for (a vendor game
assistant holding 120 Hz while 185 Hz was requested), gamescope,
Xwayland and the compositor's presentation feedback were told 185 Hz,
and Steam's interface drew every 10.8 ms out of step with the panel.
- Build the DirectAudio PulseAudio sink from source (LGPL-2.1-or-later,
The412Banner/directaudio v1.1.0) with its max request kept to its ring
target. Advertising 100 ms made PulseAudio grow every client's buffer
to about 112 ms, so Steam's interface sounds played that late.
Robolectric keeps one sandbox per SDK level the tests ask for, and the
suite now asks for seven (26, 28, 29, 31, 33, 34 and the default). They
no longer fit in Gradle's default 512 MB test heap, so testReleaseUnitTest
runs out of memory part way through (SteamHomeHeadsetTest,
GlassesMenuCaptureTest) on main and on every open PR.
