Hello Linuxers,
This release brings several improvements that I’ve been wanting to implement for a long time.
The biggest highlight is the installation, update, and configuration workflow for OptiScaler.
You can now enable OptiScaler in any Steam game with just a few clicks.
To make this possible, Goverlay now integrates with the amazing work done by other projects, including decky-framegen by @xXJSONDeruloXx and fgmod by @FakeMichau.
We also automatically download, update, and configure FakeNVAPI as part of this new workflow.
Another major addition is the Goverlay update checker, which notifies users when a new version is available — especially helpful for distros with slower release cycles.
