Steam reliability wave.

  • Survives Steam client updates — when Valve ships a Steam client update (like the July 22 one), Play via Steam kept spinning on 'Launching' and could log you out. Pixel Port now detects the pending update and restarts the in-prefix Steam once so the update applies cleanly, and waits out the update cycle instead of giving up mid-install.
  • Faster, more reliable game detection — the 'is the game running' probe is now case-insensitive (some games, like Grim Dawn, register their executable with different casing than expected, causing false 'game never appeared' errors while the game was actually running).
  • Per-game graphics backend picker — choose Automatic / DXMT / DXVK (experimental) per game from its Details card.
  • Honest DX9 routing at install time — newly installed DirectX 9 games route to the renderer that actually runs them.
  • Housekeeping: launch helper processes are now cleaned up immediately after use.
