Beta11 Linux

Linux Beta11 pre-release. Windows Beta10 remains the latest release.

New on Linux

• LarkquillAI permission prompt (Yes/No, default No, saved to larkquill-local-permission.json, no network on No)
• LarkquillAI panel: shows saved answer, open in browser (Yes only), reset
• CSR AI 2x upscaler on Vulkan compute
• SSGI toggle and strength (off by default)

Still unavailable on Linux: FSR2+, XeSS, CSR AI frame generation. CSR 2.0 frame generation unchanged.

Verified on Lavapipe only (selftest and numeric tests pass). Real GPU testing still needed.

Universal-FrameFX 1.4.1-linux-preview.4

Universal-FrameFX 1.4.1-linux-preview.4

Native Linux Vulkan/Wayland preview, fixing the startup segfault.

What's new vs preview.3

• Fixed a crash right after the Vulkan device was created: ImGui's Vulkan backend was built to use function pointers that were never loaded, so it called a null vkCreateSampler. It now links against the Vulkan loader directly.
• GPUs without Vulkan 1.2 or VK_KHR_swapchain are skipped up front and listed in the startup error dialog instead of failing later.
• Checked on the build box with Lavapipe under Xvfb: the main window opens.

Still included

CSR 1.2, CSR 2.0 upscale, CSR 2.0 InterpFast FG; Game Mode/gamescope path still experimental

Honest limits

• Real-GPU and Deck Game Mode QA: unverified (Lavapipe only on the build box)
• CSR AI / FSR2+ / XeSS / LarkquillAI / DLSS: not on Linux yet
• This is a prerelease; Windows Beta10 remains the Latest release

Universal-FrameFX 1.4.1-linux-preview.3

Universal-FrameFX 1.4.1-linux-preview.3

Native Linux Vulkan/Wayland preview — silent-exit fixes for desktop launches (CachyOS / GNOME Wayland and similar).

What's new vs preview.2

• Startup failures write ~/.local/share/universal-framefx/last-run.log and show an SDL error dialog (no more silent flash-close when stderr is invisible)
• GPU selection requires graphics+compute+present for the window surface; prefers discrete GPU; clear error if none
• Shader discovery finds AppDir share/ufx-linux/shaders without UFX_SHADER_DIR
• Swapchain retries PRE_MULTIPLIED / INHERIT / POST_MULTIPLIED if OPAQUE fails (Wayland)
• AppRun / run.sh capture stdout+stderr into the same log (tee when run from a terminal)
• docs/TROUBLESHOOT.md: fuse2, --appimage-extract-and-run, Vulkan drivers, GNOME portal, PipeWire

Still included

CSR 1.2, CSR 2.0 upscale, CSR 2.0 InterpFast FG; Game Mode/gamescope path still experimental

Honest limits

• Deck Game Mode hardware QA: unverified (Lavapipe selftest only on the build box)
• CSR AI / FSR2+ / XeSS / LarkquillAI / DLSS: not on Linux yet
• This is a prerelease; Windows Beta10 remains the Latest release

If it still won't open

1. Open ~/.local/share/universal-framefx/last-run.log and paste it when reporting
2. Or from a terminal: ./Universal-FrameFX-*.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run
3. Or unzip the .zip and run ./run.sh

Universal-FrameFX 1.4.1-linux-preview.2

Universal-FrameFX 1.4.1-linux-preview.2

Native Linux Vulkan/Wayland preview with an experimental Game Mode / gamescope path.

What's new vs preview.1

• Detect Game Mode (GAMESCOPE_WAYLAND_DISPLAY, gamescope session vars, UFX_FORCE_GAMEMODE)
• Capture preference in Game Mode: gamescope PipeWire node → portal ScreenCast fallback
• ufx-gamescope-launch.sh nested gamescope helper
• --session-info, --capture-fail-soft
• Docs: linux/docs/GAMEMODE.md, linux/docs/BLOCKERS.md

Still included

CSR 1.2, CSR 2.0 upscale, CSR 2.0 InterpFast FG (Desktop Mode portal capture)

Honest limits

• Deck Game Mode hardware QA: unverified (Lavapipe selftest only on the build box)
• CSR AI / FSR2+ / XeSS / LarkquillAI / DLSS: not on Linux yet

FrameFX 1.4.1 Beta10

• LarkquillAI: a new assistant panel built into FrameFX. Ask anything about FrameFX, and have it build, apply or change presets for your games. FrameFX checks every change and asks you to confirm it, and frame generation stays off in anti-cheat games.
• Paste a LarkquillAI API key once (get a free one at https://larkquillai.vercel.app/api). It's stored encrypted for your Windows account.
• Models: Quill Wren (fast) and Quill Scribe (default) on Hobby (free), Quill Sage on Pro ($7.99 one-time), Quill Sovereign on Max ($12.99 one-time). Locked models show an Upgrade link.
• No key or no internet? The panel uses the offline preset model instead.
• The old local assistant (WrenbyAI) is now LarkquillAI Local (experimental).
• Includes everything in Beta9.

Windows only. The ROG Ally / Ally X edition stays on Beta4.

FrameFX 1.4.1 Linux Preview 1

FrameFX 1.4.1 Linux Preview 1

Desktop Linux Vulkan/Wayland preview (xdg-desktop-portal ScreenCast / PipeWire). This is a full desktop Linux build, not a Steam Deck–only refresh.

Steam Deck: Desktop Mode is a supported host using this same AppImage. Game Mode / gamescope is not supported.

Included

• CSR 1.2 (spatial upscale)
• CSR 2.0 upscale
• CSR 2.0 InterpFast frame generation

Not included (yet)

• Vendor FSR 2 / 3 / 4
• XeSS
• CSR AI on Linux
• Windows-only features

Verification

Self-tested on Lavapipe (software Vulkan) with --selftest and the numeric suite. That is not a hardware quality claim — please report results on real GPUs.

Downloads

• AppImage (primary): Universal-FrameFX-1.4.1-linux-preview.1-linux-x86_64.AppImage
• Zip and tar.gz also attached for unpack-and-run installs

Requirements

• x86_64 Linux
• Vulkan 1.2+
• Wayland session with xdg-desktop-portal ScreenCast and PipeWire

Binary version string: Universal-FrameFX 1.4.1-linux-preview.1

FrameFX 1.4.1 Beta9

• WyneAI (experimental): a new assistant built into FrameFX. Chat about anything, have it look things up on the web, set up and apply presets for your games, start or stop FrameFX, and open apps you allow. It asks you to confirm before it changes anything, and it won't turn on frame generation for games with anti-cheat. Runs on your PC.
• WyneAI needs a one-time setup: click WyneAI (experimental) in the app, then run agent\scripts\Setup-FrameFXAgent.ps1 from the FrameFX folder (about a 2 GB download).
• CSR Flux V2 stays the frame generation model.
• Includes everything in Beta8.

Windows only. The ROG Ally / Ally X edition stays on Beta4.

FrameFX 1.4.1 Beta8

• Smarter Preset Assistant: a new AI model that's better at follow-ups like "what about 4K", understands number words like "sixty", and handles new requests like "fans are too loud" and "kill frame gen".
• CSR Flux V2 stays the frame generation model.
• Includes everything in Beta7.

Windows only. The ROG Ally / Ally X edition stays on Beta4.

FrameFX 1.4.1 Beta7

• Preset Assistant chat (AI, experimental): describe your game, then keep chatting to adjust the suggested settings. Press Apply to save them as that game's profile, or Undo to go back. Works offline.
• Clearer anti-cheat notes: Elden Ring is now flagged as using Easy Anti-Cheat only when playing online.
• CSR Flux V2 stays the frame generation model.
• Includes everything in Beta6.

Windows only. The ROG Ally / Ally X edition stays on Beta4.

FrameFX 1.4.1 Beta6

• Preset Assistant (AI, experimental): describe your game and get suggested settings. Check the suggestion, then press Apply to save it as that game's profile. Works offline.
• CSR Flux V2 stays the frame generation model (sharper than V1 at 2x/3x/4x).
• Includes everything in Beta5.

Windows only. The ROG Ally / Ally X edition stays on Beta4.
