* fix(storage): Windows installs on a natively mounted card no longer ask for an administrator
Cards mounted directly as FAT, exFAT or NTFS were not treated as Android
storage, so wineserver reported an Anonymous owner and refused permission
changes. Its chmod on these volumes also no longer fails the request.
* fix(storage): keep NTFS owners and the chmod error
* fix(desktop): Steam's own header moves and resizes its windows
Steam never asks KWin to move or resize its windows, and its maximize
button can only maximize. Each normal Steam window now reports presses
on its header and edges, and KWin handles them natively. No extra title
bar is added and other apps are unchanged.
* fix(desktop): drag regions cover the elements inside them
* fix(desktop): find Steam's drag regions by position
The Friends window's drag region ignores pointer events, so a hit test
never finds it. The check now runs once a press moves, so plain clicks
cost nothing.
* fix(desktop): a game's window follows its own window mode
Desktop games ran in a titled gamescope window whatever mode they asked for. gamescope now fills the desktop for a fullscreen or borderless game and matches the window size of a windowed one.
* Use the p30 gamescope test build
* fix(desktop): a windowed game too big for the desktop is maximised
* fix(desktop): a decorated game window stays a window
* Use the published gamescope p21
fix(battlenet): keep games installed inside Battle.net's folder running
A game installed under C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net\ (for example
World of Warcraft: Forever in "Battle.net\World of Warcraft\_forever_")
was counted as part of Battle.net itself. Launched from DroidDeck, the
launch never saw a game, said "Battle.net closed before a game started",
stopped everything left in the prefix, game included, and exited 1.
Battle.net's own files are now only those directly in its folder, in its
Battle.net.<build> folders and under ProgramData\Battle.net.

The redistributable seeder marks every process in a game's install scripts
as already run, except Vulkan runtime and Ubisoft Connect installers. EA
games on Steam list the EA app installer (EADesktopSetup) there and start
through steam2ea://, which only the EA app handles. With the installer
skipped, Proton could not open that link (ret 31) and the game closed
without a window (Burnout Paradise Remastered). The EA app installer is
now left to run like Ubisoft Connect's, and a marker an earlier seeding
wrote is taken back out, so an existing prefix installs it on its next
launch.
DOOM (2016) asks for exactly two swapchain images and stops with "FATAL
ERROR: getSwapchainImagesKHR failed with error (VK_SUCCESS)" when it gets
more. Every game launch gets GAMESCOPE_WSI_MIN_IMAGE_COUNT=8 and
GAMESCOPE_WSI_ENSURE_MIN_IMAGE_COUNT=1, so gamescope's WSI layer gave it 8
images (3 with only the count removed) and the game crashed on start.
When DOOMx64vk.exe sits beside the launched program (DOOMx64.exe for a GOG
install, or DOOMx64vk.exe), both variables are removed and
vk_x11_strict_image_count=true is set, the option Mesa's driconf gives the
game. Other games keep the defaults. A per-game value in the environment
editor still wins.
Tested on an AYANEO Pocket FIT with DroidDeck 0.6.9 and the same values set
per game: the swapchain gets 2 images and the game reaches its main menu at
60 fps; before, it crashed on every launch.
* feat: manage several Steam libraries beside internal and the card
* fix: serialize Steam library registry edits, refuse folders inside a Games root, refresh games after changes
* fix: rename refreshes games, added x86-64 libraries join redist seeding and direct mapping
* chore(i18n): translate every missing string in all locales
Adds the 87 strings the bottom-screen Dashboard and in-game stats pages
introduced to all 32 locales, plus the 51 older settings strings Japanese
and the 50 Chinese locales were still missing. Every locale now has all
3456 translatable strings with the same placeholders as English.
Also translates 36 entries that were still English where the language
does not use the English word, and makes es-419 touch_app_id use the same
%1$s placeholder as English.
* chore(patches): drop comments from the lines downstream patches add
Removes comment lines and trailing comments from lines our patches add,
with hunk headers recounted. Lines that a later patch uses as context
and the upstream backport 0123 are left as they are.
The gamescope, FEX, proot and xodus series still apply to their pinned
sources, and the patched trees differ only in those comments.
test_hud_frames now finds the HUD writer by its first declaration.
* docs: credit Greenlight, Better xCloud, viture-v2, GameNative and DiRTTelemetryErrorFix
These were credited only in source headers and NOTICE files.
* chore: remove source comments and unused functions
Removes explanatory comments from first-party Kotlin, Java, C, C++,
Rust, TypeScript, Python, shell, Gradle, CMake and workflow files.
License and attribution headers stay, and vendored third-party trees,
generated files and license files are untouched. A shellcheck directive
is kept, and udevmon's fallthrough comments became fallthrough attributes.
Syntax trees and token streams match the previous sources apart from the
comments and Python docstrings. Module docstrings that argparse prints
are kept, and device-smoke.sh prints the same --help text from a heredoc.
Also removes 37 functions and 4 fields that nothing referenced.
* chore: remove comments from the Syncthing integration and the latest main sources
* docs: credit Syncthing and the syncthing-android fork
* chore(i18n): translate the Syncthing strings in all locales
The 107 strings the Syncthing integration added are now in all 32 locales.
sync_web_path_locked names the Syncthing tab by its label.
* docs: credit @xXJSONDeruloXx for the HUD metric readers
The CPU, GPU load, thermal and battery readers come from their
PerformanceHudView pull requests #777, #877, #991, #1406 and #1573.
The FusionHUD credit line is unchanged.
* docs: credit the HUD metric readers to @xXJSONDeruloXx's work
* feat: KDE desktop as a bottom-screen mode beside the top-screen session
* test: bottom-desktop launch test sets DISPLAY instead of inheriting it
* fix: drop the bottom desktop's launch when the session stops while preparing it
* fix: bottom desktop restarts on a fresh surface, trackpad/touch toggle, loading throbber, DroidDeck's display driver
* fix: bottom desktop pauses with the session and opens the keyboard for a tapped text field
* fix: no bottom desktop guest starts or keeps running unfrozen while the session is paused
* fix: bottom desktop treats a freeze in progress as paused
* fix: only the session that began a freeze clears its pausing flag
* fix: bottom desktop launch is stored and cleared only for its own session generation
* fix: a stopped session tears down the bottom desktop it started even after a newer launch is prepared
* fix: a new session's bottom desktop replaces one an earlier session left running
* fix: release the bottom desktop's keyboard watcher when its compositor dies
* fix: bottom desktop starts its guest only for the launch its compositor was attached for
* fix: bottom desktop ignores compositor replies to an earlier session's attach
An older submission that returns late must not hide a newer one. Contexts
with user-generated timestamps can have gaps, so they keep the failed read
instead of waiting once per integer.
A descriptor can close without destroying its contexts and its number can
be reused. KGSL checks the owner on every wait, so one wait on the retired
timestamp keeps a read of a dead context an error.
Codemasters EGO games (DiRT 3, DiRT Showdown, GRID, F1 ...) pick their thread plan by core count from system/hardware_settings_restrictions.xml, which only has plans for 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8+ cores. When DroidDeck leaves a phone's slow cores out Windows can see 5 (Retroid Pocket Duo), and DiRT 3 then puts every worker on one core and stops on a loading screen; Showdown closes at start.
When a game starts with WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY set and its restrictions have no cpu rule for that count, droiddeck-game-env adds one copied from the nearest smaller plan (5 -> the game's 4-core plan), only if that plan's worker map file exists. The file as it was is kept as .droiddeck-original; later launches change nothing. Only ASCII digits count as a core count, and the edited file is staged under a unique name.
Tested on a Retroid Pocket Duo: with DiRT 3's shipped file, the plan is added at launch and the game loads to its menus and races.
Answer a failed read only for a context created on the same file
descriptor, so an invalid context or a closed descriptor stays an error
instead of reading as timestamp zero.
Mesa 27 polls timeline points with CMDSTREAM_READTIMESTAMP_CTXTID and
reports any failure as VK_ERROR_UNKNOWN, so gamescope aborted at start on
Quest with vk.WaitSemaphores result -13. Track each context's submitted
timestamps in the preload and answer a failed read from one millisecond
WAITTIMESTAMP calls. Log refused KGSL ioctls to session.log.
A Dashboard mode for the second screen of dual-screen handhelds (developed on a Retroid Pocket Duo), the default on dual-screen devices. It opens on Chat at each Steam start and switches to In-game stats when a game starts.
- Downloads: Steam downloads and updates (SD-card libraries too), shader caches and DroidDeck store downloads.
- Notifications: other apps' notifications once access is allowed, kept in memory only.
- Screenshots: a game screenshot without the overlay, and a gallery of DroidDeck's and Steam's screenshots.
- Chat & voice: mic and game volume buttons, and Steam's web chat signed in with the Steam client's own session.
- In-game stats: FPS, CPU, GPU, RAM and battery plus the running game or Steam client type, and a racing dash from Codemasters, Forza and OutGauge games' data output, with War Thunder and Elite Dangerous layouts; speed in km/h or mph.
- Send dashboard data: turns a Codemasters game's data output on for the dash (per game or Automatic) and keeps the original setting to put back.
- DiRT 3 / DiRT Showdown: with their data output on they stop with error 10038 at race end; a ws2_32.dll stand-in (tools/dirt-ws2) is swapped into the prefix while the game runs, skipped on DroidDeck-Proton 11-11.10 which has the fix built in. Same behaviour as DiRTTelemetryErrorFix by RoccoC, based on Carsten Gottschling's fix.
About "telemetry": here it means a racing game's own live driving data (speed, gear, rpm, pedals), not app analytics. For In-game stats no information leaves the device and nothing is shared: the game sends its data to 127.0.0.1 on the same device, DroidDeck only listens there while the page is open and keeps the numbers in memory just long enough to draw them. DroidDeck sends no data about the user or their use of the app; logs leave the device only when the user taps Share logs.
* Run x86_64 Flatpak apps through FEX
* proot: run an execveat with an absolute path like execve
* Find x86_64 Flatpak installs and resolve sandbox paths like the sandbox does
* fix: a read-only file on a USB drive no longer fails to close the first time it is read
On the RedMagic Astra 2, Android's NTFS USB drive returns EIO from close() for a file opened read-only when that first read updates its access time; the update itself succeeds and the descriptor is released. The x86 loader under FEX treats a failed close as fatal, so every Linux game newly installed or updated on such a drive failed to start once (libfreetype.so.6: cannot close file descriptor: Input/output error). The session library's close() now reports success for EIO on read-only descriptors; errors on descriptors opened for writing are still returned.
* Check the read-write close still reports EIO
* fix(audio): DirectAudio no longer crackles where Android refuses low-latency output
On devices where Android won't give the game a low-latency output (AYN Thor,
Android 13), DirectAudio kept Wine's 10 ms period and 12 ms buffer. An
emulated game audio thread can't keep that pace there, so audio crackled.
The session now checks for low-latency output and, only when it is refused,
asks DirectAudio for a 20 ms period and a 60 ms buffer.
DirectAudio's settings are now AUDIO_DIRECT_* everywhere in DroidDeck and are
handed to the driver under the names it reads when DirectAudio is set up.
AUDIO_DIRECT_MS and AUDIO_DIRECT_PERIOD_MS can be set per game.
* fix(audio): game profile DirectAudio settings and the microphone-off setting reach the driver
* fix(desktop): video wallpapers no longer race ahead after DroidDeck returns from the background
* test: give the vrclient loader harness the clock syscall hook
