  • Steamworks
    • Fixed some AppVerifier errors/warnings caused by Steam that could make it hard for games to use AppVerifier to verify the rest of their code

    • Fix Web/Friends footer buttons not showing in some cases where they were functional and should be shown in the footer

    • Improved Big Picture movie audio / video synchronization along with some general video playback improvements.
    • Improved performance in some cases with the Big Picture window out-of-focus/in-game. The biggest gain here is on Linux, but all platforms should see some benefit.
    • Fixed focus when entering the quit menu sometimes not being on the first item
    • Fixed Steamworks games that utilize the Daisy Wheel for text entry in Big Picture not showing it successfully if they were launched via a launcher or other multi-process scenario
    • Improved movie playback support and support for animated gifs
    • Adding of non-Steam games is now directly supported in Big Picture
    • Non-Steam games now show icon art when available and when no custom art has been set in Big Picture
    • Fixed a bug where screenshot/out-of-focus mode could kick in when Big Picture had focus if you transitioned into it while already running a game
    • Fixed a bug where focus may end up in an unexpected place if the button currently in focus is deleted from the UI
