something i play more frequently like factorio, i would like for that to be a regular function.

That honestly sounds like a good feature to request imo.

Are you on the steam beta? I've generally had a better experience there.

You could also try the low performance setting in steam. (steam settings > library > low performance mode)

it would be a great feature, and considering i own like 10 games, and there are people out there who own like, 200, i'm honestly shocked this wasn't immediately included? I feel like this is such an obvious thing. i would be surprised if somebody hasn't already requested it.

no, i'm on stable, because i like my software to work, though maybe i should fuck around with my steam install sometime.

i could, but im running a 1070 and a 5900x, im pretty sure it's not a hardware limitation. But i might mess with that later.

hopefully it improves. I'm honestly waiting for heroic to implement steam, or a decent CLI implementation to come about, SteamCMD does exist, but it's meant for server hosting, theoretically you could use it for client use, but i don't think it recommends you do that, for several reasons.
