Goverlay

New Features

• Added native ReShade Windows DLL deployment and injection via bgmod, with interactive shader pack management and hotkey capture

Improvements

• Modernized Environment tab into a streamlined MD3-styled Tweaks tab
• Steam and non-Steam game cards are now automatically sorted alphabetically
• Set MangoHud Presets as the default initial view upon application startup
• Compacted vkBasalt built-in effects card to expand visible area for ReShade shaders
• Positioned missing dependency warning banners at the top of tabs and added caching to eliminate check latency
• Automatically synchronized master wrapper binaries across all game profiles on startup and during game launch
• Relocated diagnostic and execution logs from game directories to centralized user storage (~/.local/share/goverlay/logs/)
• Preserved third-party proxy DLLs during game launch and uninstallation

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the fps_only preset failed to persist across load and save cycles in MangoHud
• Decoupled hardware telemetry in PasCube to a background thread to prevent a 5 FPS cap on NVIDIA GPUs
• Deduplicated ReShade shaders and excluded built-in effects (FXAA, SMAA, LUT) and header includes (.fxh, .h) from the shader list
• Fixed SteamOS boot loops caused by implicit Vulkan layer pollution from the host
• Updated Turkish translations

Bug Fixes

• Fixed critical boot loop on SteamOS caused by Flatpak writing incomplete implicit Vulkan layers to the host filesystem
• Restricted vkSumi and MAKO automatic layer provisioning to native environments
• Hardened download routines with HTTP error status verification and ELF binary validation
• Added automatic cleanup of stale or corrupted user-space Vulkan layer manifests

New Features

• Migrated Lossless Scaling integration to lsfg-vk 2.0 schema with automated Migration Assistant dialog and dynamic DLL validation
• Added MAKO Vulkan layer support for frame generation and spatial scaling with background download and updates
• Added Lutris platform tab in the Finish Configuration dialog with procedural canvas guidance and clean command formatting
• Streamline SDK full deployment, native backup, and auto-healing support via bgmod
• Centralized diagnostic tool logging to user directory (~/.local/share/goverlay/logs/) with real-time sync and file manager shortcuts
• Added FSR version combobox with centralized downloads and auto-saving in OptiScaler
• Added metric graph toggles and graphs= support in MangoHud Metrics tab

Improvements

• Replaced checkboxes across all tabs with compact, anti-aliased toggle switches with shadow depth
• Redesigned Environment Variables tab with modern cards and color-coded RADEON and NVIDIA badges
• Unified Lossless Scaling tab visual design with side-by-side Method and GPU selectors and high-res banners
• Simplified MangoHud Active GPU selector with clean market names and index prefixes
• Safe atomic config saving preventing file-locking crashes
• Added Steam Grid artwork integration and modernized game card fallback covers
• AppImage embedded update information and published zsync control files
• Replaced PROTON_PRIORITY_HIGH with dedicated game-performance wrapper

Fixes

• Fixed Flatpak sandbox startup crash by pre-creating the lsfgvk extension mount directory
• Preemptively restore original DLL backups before game uninstall and configuration wipe
• Synchronized toggle switch states when selecting MangoHud presets and preserved custom FPS color thresholds
• Prevented MangoHud global enable from injecting descriptive text into launch commands
• Prevented duplicate vkBasalt built-in effects and fixed button clipping on resize

New Features

• Lossless Scaling (lsfg-vk) frame generation integration with 1x to 10x multiplier support, HDR Mode, Performance Mode, and per-game profile isolation
• DLSS Enabler integration with dual-channel (Stable and Bleeding-edge) downloads and NVIDIA Streamline SDK support
• Added "None" upscaler method option to allow using Lossless Scaling standalone without proxy DLL injection
• Brand new visual identity with modernized layered neon overlay branding, application icon, and startup boot splash
• Floating action dock with quick Finish walkthrough, 3D preview launcher, and configuration file shortcuts
• PasCube Vulkan 1.3 3D preview and benchmark suite with active frame generation detection and score protection
• Proton tweaks added for PROTON_LOCAL_SHADER_CACHE and PROTON_DISCORD_BRIDGE
• Internationalization (i18n) framework integration with full Russian translation catalogue

Improvements

• Modernized dark theme card layouts and Slate Navy styled inputs, comboboxes, and trackbars across all tabs
• Debounced automatic configuration persistence without requiring a manual Save button
• High-resolution vector master upscaler logos with subpixel antialiasing and crisp rendering under Qt6
• Decoupled vkSumi post-processing flags and automated neutral default detection

Fixes

• Hardened sandbox directory checks and eliminated pipe deadlocks in logging and testing
• Resolved Steam Flatpak shortcuts permissions and isolated global versus per-game configurations
