Sometimes I call the numbers on missing dog posters and just bark into the phone. I learn from the mistakes of those who take my advice.

I gave it a Google and saw what changes they have made, and it definitely explains the new feel. Frame timing is waaay better and the frame rate is more stable. They moved from a OpenGL implementation to a Vulkan one, from my understanding. I had to adjust my mouse sensitivity too, so they made some changes there as well.

32-bit programs can’t use as much memory as 64-bit programs. Being able to use more memory means less loading from the disk. 64-bit also tends to be more optimized these days as most systems have moved to it already. In this case, I had no idea TF2 was still 32-bit.

Call me out if I’m wrong, but my Deck is noticeably snappier after this update. TF2 is also smoother, which is weird considering the game hasn’t changed visually at all. Not even an update notice of anything major.

The problem is they keep breaking in-home streaming to/from the Deck. My Mac has a bit more GPU oomph so there are some games I’d like to play streamed, but streaming hasn’t worked in either direction since last year.
