Steam : moins de bugs, meilleures performances Vulkan sous AMD

[Exyntigor]

Vendredi, une mise à jour plutôt conséquente est venue corriger plusieurs bugs pour Steam. Parmi les problèmes, ont été notamment supprimés ceux liés à l'absence du Workshop quand un jeu était désinstallé puis réinstallé ou encore à un crash (rare) lorsque les fenêtres étaient redimensionnées. Les performances des utilisateurs de Vulkan couplé avec du matériel AMD devraient également s'améliorer. Toujours côté Vulkan, le streaming d'applications qui l'utilisent est amélioré (meilleures performances, moins de latence). Le changelog complet, en anglais, est repris ci-dessous.
