I promised a complete look at the new Game Recording feature in Steam/SteamOS. Here it is.
This was performed on the Steam Deck OLED model.
Note: You don't need to school me on what "BETA" means. BETA = BROKEN; but as a decades old software engineer? I would have NEVER shipped this as a beta.
We'll do it all (check the chapter jumps) and with almost 10 failures, this beta isn't ready for prime time (I've already rolled it back). I'll show you all the failures (and the few successes) and you can decide for yourself if you want to opt into this beta.
