Hi again folks, we’re back with another weekly update full of fixes and improvements!

Some of the things to look forward to in this update include:

  • Some issues with flickering or cutting-out displays under VRR/HDMI2.1 on AMD have been resolved!
  • OGUI now offers the option to toggle both TDP Boost & SMT on all supported handhelds.
    • As a reminder, TDP controls can be found in the Steam QAM under the TDP Limit toggle when performance profile is set to Performance/Custom.
  • Numerous additional handhelds have had TDP control added with more to follow.
  • An issue where Ally X handhelds could refuse to sleep if the controller was used during the sleep animation has been resolved
  • Resolved an issue where some devices were wrongly emulating a steam deck controller, preventing Steam + A/B shortcuts from working as intended.
    • If you’re still having issues with this reach out to us for direct support.
  • InputPlumber has been updated to it’s latest version
    • Additional handhelds have had input support added to them or improved, from manufacturers including:
      • ASUS
      • AYN
      • Ayaneo
      • GPD
      • KONKR
      • OneXPlayer
    • As a reminder, if you’re having issues with desktop control you can resolve it by opening Steam on the desktop and browsing to Settings -> Controller -> Show Advanced Settings -> Desktop Layout
      • We recommend binding X to open keyboard, setting up joystick mouse, and binding your triggers to left/right mouse buttons.
  • Linux Kernel 7.2.3
  • OpenRazer is now packaged in Terra and the install command for it will automatically remove the old repo when ran.

We’re still hard at work on desktop TDP control, fan control, ASUS Ally RGB control, and any/all of your reports over the last couple of weeks. Thank you all again for submitting those reports, it helps a lot.

See you next week!

Hello, I’d like to report an issue: after updating my ASUS ROG Ally to version 44, I lost the ability to adjust the lighting; now it stays on and is really annoying. Also, after the update, I launched Resident Evil: Revelations, and for some reason, the LT button was glitching when held down (while aiming) - everything used to work fine before. Now the HHD has disappeared from view, and I have no idea how to adjust the stick lighting anymore. Perhaps you could help me out with this.

The ASUS Linux team is working on a new driver for that hardware, when it’s ready you’ll be able to control stick lighting from gamemode by going to settings → customization → ring lights.

For now they can’t be changed, sorry for the inconvenience. We’re working to have that available ASAP.

I have an Ally X and use the deckyloader plugin HueSync for RGB control. I have issues changing the color of the stick LEDs but can at may turn them off.

Hi! After the latest update, the LED indicator on my Legion GO Joy-Cons disappeared. Now they simply don’t light up. The backlighting could previously be adjusted via HHD, but it’s no longer there. Is there any way to restore the backlighting?

6

Yes, control them from settings → customization → ring lights.

Hi, unfortunately the latest update didn’t resolve the VRR/HDMI 2.1 display issue on my setup.

Hardware: Custom PC with AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT connected to a Samsung TV

OS: Bazzite (DECK edition)

Symptom:

The system boots up, I can hear the chime / beep sound from Steam, but right after that the display output turns off completely (black screen / no signal).

8

Would you be able to grab a system log after that happens?

9

You mentioned updated support for OneXPlayer devices. Does this extend to the new OneXPlayer 3? Curious to try it myself.

10

How can I attach bazzite.log?

The update broke the functionality of the volume and network icons in the plasma panel system tray. I found similar issues on the CashyOS forums. It seems to be a KDE Plasma issue.
