General

  • Fixed a case where an SD card with filesystem errors would be mounted as read-only.
  • Fixed the custom performance overlay presets file inheriting the default settings from the steam presets.
  • Fixed internal display rotation being erroneously reported to the game.

Firmware 118

  • Actually added undervolting controls.

External display

  • Fixed a 3.5 regression with HDMI output.

  • Fixed HDR not working in 32-bit applications.

I love that they're driving HDR. ChimeraOS has already pulled it in, the first desktop distro to support it. I think I may finally be ready to drop my last windows box with this

Probably a stupid question... Is HDR only when hooked up to a monitor? The Steam Deck screen isn't HDR capable right?

Correct, it doesn't support HDR or VRR for that matter
