Comment on what exactly is the steam frame?

The frame’s foveated streaming is a separate thing from foveated rendering. Foveated streaming does nothing to reduce the rendering load on the hardware running the game, it just reduces the network bandwidth required.

Yes, developers needs to implement fovated rendering but not fovated streaming.

The bugs are going to be hilarious when the game incorrectly understands what you’re looking at, or breaks from looking at something too intensely

  I mean… Those kind of bugs exist now if there’s any hiccups or interruptions in the network when streaming wirelessly and they’re not really funny. Mostly nauseating.

    Yeah, didn’t think about that :( but I imagine the descriptions are still going to be fun, like ‘things don’t behave when I stop looking at them’
