Steam, l’ultimo aggiornamento riguarda il DualShock 4 e la velocità delle patch dei giochi

-

Con l’aiuto di VG247 apprendiamo che l’aggiornamento odierno del client di Steam ha la particolarità di essere particolarmente grande in termini di MB ed implementa molte novità, oltre a correggere o migliorare caratteristiche già presenti.

La lista delle modifiche e delle implementazioni è molto lunga ma vale la pena di essere consultata, perché tocca argomenti importanti che spaziano dalla privacy degli utenti alla gestione dei sistemi di controllo. Spiccano, tra le varie voci, quelle che riguardano il miglioramento del download dei giochi o delle loro patch, quando i giochi sono installati su un hard disk tradizionale (quindi esclusi gli SSD) e l’apertura al riconoscimento del DualShock 4 come sistema di controllo, configurabile in maniera analoga allo Steam Controller (avevamo anticipato qualcosa lo scorso ottobre).

Ecco, di seguito la lista completa delle modifiche apportate dall’ultima patch al client di Steam in lingua originale, presenti tali e quali anche sul sito italiano di Steam:
