Hi Everyone,
Happy Friday!
Today's updates:
Legion Space 1.0.2.5
First, hope you are all enjoying the 1.0.2.5 update with the ability to adjust the deadzones and response curves for the joysticks. You'll notice it ended up being 1.0.2.5 instead of 1.0.2.4, some minor changes were made between the two but nothing worth noting. While this did take much longer than we wanted it to, and we appreciate your patience, we were still able to pull this in from our original timeframe at the end of December.
Legion Space updates that we're looking to implement in the near future:
- Key Customization / Key Mapping (High Priority, but requires coordination between a lot of teams and dev groups, thus the timing)
- Use of Left/Right triggers for Mouse Clicks (above implementation will allow this)
- Taskbar/System Tray Minimization of Space (Please note the Legion R key right menu flyout already works even without loading Space in currently released version)
- Additional customization options for space (tentative)
- Driver, BIOS, Firmware updates incorporated into Legion Space eliminating the need to rely on manual / alternate update paths
- DPI Settings for trackpad & FPS mode
- FPS limiter which will include (based on feedback from last update + science): 30, 36, 48, 60, 72, custom.
- Adjustable Fan Curves in Space (v28 BIOS already added some support for this but not user accessible at the moment)
- Ability to turn off light on power button
- Desktop Mode or similar
- Adjust automatic sleep timing on controllers
- LT/RT Deadzone / Activation Point adjustments (tentative)
- Ability to "hide" games in Space
- Rapid Charge / Battery Conservation Toggle (Charge limit to some preset level <=80%)
Next Legion Space Update (Tentatively 1.0.2.6) is planned for January and will include some of the above updates.
Updated VGA Driver
Second, we're having some server issues getting the new official driver release out, but given the holiday timeframe we wanted to try to get it to you by whatever means possible as early as possible. This is essentially the same as the beta driver that was released already however it adds native integer scaling without the need for a registry edit.
Two options to get it:
- Because of the slightly more cumbersome install process and the fact that it's not hosted on our support site yet, I'm just going to release it on the community site for now, but rest assured it should be exactly what's getting released any day now so if you install this you won't need to update when it hits the support site. Link to that here: (+) V23.20.24.03 VGA Driver Release | Lenovo Gaming (US)
- Or, you can just wait for the .exe file to be released here (it's not as of this post but will be once ready): laptops and netbooks :: legion series :: legion go 8apu1 - Lenovo Support US
Other Things
- FSR3.0 support is being looked at with AMD for the Legion Go (nothing to share beyond that at the moment)
- Some Gyro behavior improvement was included in 1.0.2.5 but still being worked on for further improvements/functionality
- Some progress made on Fan / Coil whine, will share more on that when I can
- We have internal support to start releasing some 3D files for the device to help with 3rd party solution creation, will share more on this as well soon
Issues we've looked into but are currently still unable to reproduce*
*but still working on gathering more info:
- Reports of high SSD temperatures
- Reports of SD card stutter/freezing on some 2D games
- Reports of Left Speaker noise/interference
That's all I have for today, and likely for the rest of the year. We'll pick up this series of Friday updates again in 2024.
Until then, please enjoy some Legion Go/Holiday themed Haikus generated by AI:
Under twinkling lights,
Thumbs slip-slide in festive fights,
Legion's quirky plight.
Mistletoe and play,
Deadzone's gone, gamers hooray,
Santa heard our say.
Jolly screens aglow,
Legion Go, in snow we row,
Buttons steal the show.
Happy Holidays from everyone at Lenovo and the Legion Go team, hope everyone stays safe, happy, and healthy!
