  • Record the HDMI check on the same monitor

  • Keep the 0.2.4 documentation to what was measured Restart as the verified way out, the cable and VRR described by what was observed, HDR advice that matches a restarted session, and the update path for tools before 0.2.2.

  • Document the 0.2.4 changes Update source in the diagnostic report, the 4K fix where this project's Gamescope is selected, and why a switch into Game Mode could leave the notification workaround unapplied before 0.2.4.

  • Audit the whole manual against the code and the issue trackers Every page was read against the code that ships today and against every open and closed issue on the tracker, and each finding was checked by a second reader whose job was to refute it. The largest correction is that the manual did not know releases 0.1.9 and 0.2.0 exist. It still said the cause of the corrupted Game Mode menus was unknown and offered the three workarounds as the remedy, and it said in three places that an update cannot deliver Gamescope. It now describes the fault as fixed in 0.2.0, names the cause, and gives the order a system on 0.1.8 or older has to follow. Three pages sent the reader to release 0.1.7 to get the source. That tag carries two of the three Gamescope patches, so anyone following those instructions built an image without the menu fix. They now point at Releases in general, the same form the README already uses, so they do not go stale again. Complete build also links to the section that gets the repository, which it never did. Troubleshooting is grouped into eight topics with an index at the top. Section titles are unchanged, so links into them still resolve. _Sidebar.md is new, so the pages are no longer listed alphabetically, and Home reads in the order a person actually works, with How it works last. Also corrected, each against the code it describes: the installer no longer hides disks with mounted partitions, the base only build leaves out the corrected Gamescope and cannot be sent it afterwards, tools older than 0.1.8 refuse any release naming a file they do not know, and returning to the SteamOS Gamescope build is a deliberate rule rather than a fault. Three commands this manual tells the reader to run were executed on a test machine before it was written.

  • Add the Desktop Mode findings, the 32-bit overlay symptom, and point at 0.1.7 Four entries from measurements on 2026-09-26: Remote Play receiving in Desktop Mode, where Steam's client falls back to a decode path costing 153 ms per frame and the answer is to switch hardware decoding off or receive in Game Mode; outgoing capture pinned at 25 frames per second by how Steam drives the screencast portal rather than by any limit of the portal; the Gamescope crash on leaving Game Mode, which reproduces on Valve's own build and is reported upstream; and the 32-bit overlay dependency, whose symptom is a SIGSEGV that points nowhere near a performance overlay.

  • Stop naming one recovery release as required, and point at 0.1.6 Valve publishes one current recovery image and replaces it over time. The build pages said 3.8.14 was required, and the Bazzite page told the reader to stop if Valve offered anything else. The builder now records the release it finds and warns when it is not one this project has validated, so the pages say that instead, and explain that the checksum shown belongs to the 3.8.14 file. How it works describes the Gamescope artifact at the version it is actually built from and says the selection follows the installed package rather than a SteamOS point release, which is what the code has done since 0.1.6. The download pointers move from release 0.1.5 to 0.1.6.
