Plus security updates.<\/p>\n<p>What actually is it? A program that can scan your system to detect games with different upscaling and frame-generation DLLs (DLSS \/ XeSS \/ FSR), then allow you to upgrade the versions they use. It should work across various different game launchers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>From the changelog for the latest version released today, June 22nd:<\/p>\n<p>Linux changes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Folder paths now understand ~ and environment variables, so you can type ~\/.steam or $HOME\/Games instead of the full \/home\/yourname\/&#8230; path \u2014 these used to be silently rejected: #228<\/li>\n<li>If you add a folder that&#8217;s outside the Flatpak sandbox, the app now shows you the exact flatpak override command to grant access, instead of an unhelpful &#8220;Directory does not exist&#8221; message.<\/li>\n<li>Auto-Detect now actually finds your Steam libraries on Linux \u2014 previously it only worked on Windows and quietly did nothing on Linux.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>General changes:<br \/>Dependency upgrades to mitigate reported security vulnerabilities for some Python packages.<\/p>\n<p>Wonderful to see so many different tools like this out there now, and with actual Linux support too.
