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
  • This is a prerelease; Windows Beta10 remains the Latest release

Artifacts

AppImage, zip, tar.gz for linux-x86_64.
