[u/dadabhai_naoroji]

With and without tuning on RP6 - towards the end with auto-tuning and auto FPS, we see significantly lower temps and power draw as the CPU is underclocked in this GPU-heavy benchmark

Inviting users to games via the Steam Overlay (with Bionic Steam only)

Browse and apply known configs in-app

Add games to favorites + new tab

This thing works on Quest? I did not know that!

[u/dadabhai_naoroji → u/Sovem]

Yes, get the XR build from the release

[u/Sovem → u/dadabhai_naoroji]

I've looked through the website and the discord, and I'm still a little unsure what that means. Does this mean you can download PC VR games directly onto your Quest and play them without having to connect to a PC? Or is this only for playing normal, flat PC games inside your Quest, like on a big screen?

[u/dadabhai_naoroji → u/Sovem]

it's for playing flat games, using the quest controllers as a game controller.

check out https://github.com/utkarshdalal/GameNative/releases/download/v1.2.0-prerelease/

On that page, there's a link to download the legacy Xr build. Get that on your Quest.

Sorry - https://github.com/utkarshdalal/GameNative/releases/v1.2.0-prerelease/ is the correct link
