Ngale ndlela, noma yimuphi umsebenzisi uzokwazi ukufaka imidlalo eminingi yeSteam ngqo, ngaphandle kokuthi afune izinketho ezilahlekile kumenyu yezilungiselelo.
Izinzuzo ezisheshayo zalokhu kuhlanganiswa
- Ukusetshenziswa kalula: Akusekho ukusesha ngezilungiselelo. Vele ufake igeyimu yakho futhi usulungele ukuhamba.
- ukudideka okuncane: Abasebenzisi abasha ngeke bahlangabezane nenkinga yokungakwazi ukufaka izihloko ze-Windows.
- Ukuqhubeka okuqhubekayo: Ngokuhlanganiswa kusukela phansi kuya phezulu, iValve izokwazi ukushuna kahle futhi ithuthukise ukuzizwisa okuhambelanayo ngokushesha namaphakathi.
Manje Ikhasi le-Steam elihambisana ne-Linux lenziwe laba lula kuya phezulu: uzobona kuphela inketho yokukhetha ithuluzi le-Steam Play elizenzakalelayo, okwenza kube lula nakakhulu kubasebenzisi abathuthukile abafuna ukuzama ezinye izinguqulo ze-Proton noma amanye amathuluzi.
Ukuthuthukiswa okwengeziwe kusibuyekezo sakamuva seSteam
I-valve ayigcinanga nje ukuthuthukisa ukuhlanganiswa kweProton. Isibuyekezo esizinzile esikhishwe ngoJuni 30, 2025, sihlanganise uchungechunge lwezinguquko ezithinta abasebenzisi kuzo zonke izinkundla:
- Kukhushulwe isivinini sokubuyekeza iklayenti le-SteamNgaphambilini, ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, inqubo ingathatha imizuzu; manje, ukufakwa kuyashesha kakhulu, ukuhlangabezana nokulindelwe kwesimanje.
- I-Performance Monitor Embondelelweni YegeyimuImonitha enemininingwane yengeziwe, ebonakalayo kumageyimu, ebika ngokusebenza kwe-FPS, CPU ne-GPU, nenye idatha yobuchwepheshe.

- Ukusekela izinkinobho ezengeziwe kuzilawuli ze-FlyDigi ne-8BitDo, okuvumela ukwenziwa ngokwezifiso okukhulu kokuhlangenwe nakho kwegeyimu.
- Ukuthuthukiswa kokulinganiswa kwe-gyroscope nokuqashelwa kwenkinobho kuzilawuli ezifana ne-Nintendo Switch Pro.
- Ukuxazulula izinkinga ezithile kutholakala kuma-adaptha afana neMayflash GameCube.
