Oh man... story thread. We showed Steam Machines at GDC 2015, right? One of things we wanted to showcase was that you could make use of features current living room gaming systems weren't capable of at the time. So one of the segments was going to be a game running on a 120Hz TV.

I suspect they (half-assedly) patched it out because it never worked right in the first place. When using 120Hz they would underflow every ~20 minutes with a few seconds of black. I don't think it happened during any of the live press demos, it was just one of the short segments.

There's no difference in actual available CPU resources between game mode and desktop mode, but game mode has a tweak to expose the CPU as 8c/8t instead of 4c/8t. This lets several games pick 6 or 8 threads instead of 4, yielding big gains from SMT scaling.

With the 5995WX now out, I can't wait for the new NVIDIA and AMD GPUs to build another fanless+silent all-in-one workstation / gaming rig / test system like my current 3990X + 6900XT + RTX3090. Excited to improve on the design. Maybe quick disconnects this time?

Recent PC ports hit the best of both worlds: the coin is eighteen million polygons with a 2.8ms compute shader pass

Despite looking much more detailed, the model for the coins in Super Mario Odyssey is actually 65% simpler than the one used in Super Mario Galaxy, due to taking advantage of modern rendering techniques. Details in image.

Happy RESIDENT EVIL 4 day! Proton Experimental contains all the fixes we've been working on and is selected by default for the game. Make sure you're up-to-date with SteamOS 3.4.6, as it also contains important fixes for the game.

We have deployed a fix for the Proton issue where Street Fighter 6 would freeze every thirty seconds when online connectivity is not present. The fix will be automatically downloaded when the game is restarted. Thank you for all the reports.

Deck tip: if your Deck is charging and you have auto-sleep enabled, it will wait until game downloads are finished before going to sleep.

Today we are also introducing a Proton Experimental branch, with the start of a set of architectural improvements to Wine. While esync/fsync were about multi-threaded apps, this effort is about reducing CPU overhead around input and window event handling.

Massive effort on various different sides of Proton development there. To name a few, @Themaister and @b_nieuwen for the vkd3d-proton and radv sides of ExecuteIndirect/DGC, Gofman for making the anticheat work, and @Guy15241 for the Shared Resources and MF work.
