Can you build SDL yourself and debug what's happening?
https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL

If you're not comfortable with that, let me know and I'll send you e-mail to coordinate troubleshooting.

I did a quick check installing 1.3.8 in a VM and it worked fine. Uninstalling and reinstalling on my desktop also got it to work. Digging further it looks like the auto updater isn't updating some files - SDL3_image.dll and SDL3_mixer.dll

Can confirm, requires manual uninstall first before updating.

@sandworm16: there is an Auto Updater for the Steam LInk Windows App?

[JlnPrssnr]

Yes, if you launch an old version it will tell you to update

Hi - What's the best way to effectively report issues as it seems you reply to a lot of posts? I'm definitely having a lot of issues with this new version compared to the previous.

Additionally, what's the best way to request new features?

Thanks

Hi, can you please tell me will there be a virtual controller in the upcoming update?

silly question, but why isn't this installable via Steam? I just got a failure trying to install this.

Answer the man, Steam Mods.

In my personal experience, it is better than the native stream option that the Deck gives you.

Valve, what a team of disgusting amateurs. Delivering ♥♥♥♥♥♥ half baked "software", not even available publicly, doing beta tests on gamers. Can't wait Valve falls down, this cancer of gaming world.
