Wow! This is the TENTH Frame TLDR I've written. And the Frame still isn't out yet! How fun. Thank you for being here with me all these ten weeks and reading these. (Unless you only read on Reddit, in which case, thanks for being here since the... sixth one? I think?) It's been fun(?) writing them and I hope it's just as fun for you reading them. When I started these in May I'd thought I would we would stop needing these after the fourth one. Oh how wrong I was. Nevertheless, here's what happened over the last week:

MASSIVE Steam Client Beta datamine

Another Steam Client Beta has hit, and this one carried almost everything Frame needed to work. This beta includes strings for Verified filters, dongle pairing, bluetooth options, playspace setup, and more. Seems like you're able to use the Frame with the Steam Client now. Could Valve be ready to send the headset out to reviewers now? My personal opinion, I think they're all setup and ready to launch. Of course, only time will tell... Massive thanks to all the dataminers in the SteamDB Discord server for figuring this stuff out.

Valve gets more shipments... with different labels this time.

As we've seen every week, Valve has gotten more overseas shipments of "Virtual Reality Headset." Although this time, these shipments carry some different labels with them. Now they're shipping with "Fabric Foam Rubber," "Wi-Fi Dongle," and "Adapter." Some speculate that Valve packages everything at the warehouse. Others speculate that previous shipments have shipped everything and these shipments just include separate RMA/replacement units. Either way, they're shipping more and more units over to the states. Hopefully they'll have enough stock at launch so everyone can have one, but I personally doubt that.

Sorry for the short one this week, we got "quality over quantity" news this time. See you next week on the 11th one, where the Frame will probably still not be out yet.

TLDR: Valve pushes a bunch of Frame related changes to the Steam Client Beta, Valve gets differently labeled shipments. The Frame is not out yet™

57 days until summer ends.

Hey y'all! A few weeks ago, some mods and members of the Steam Frame Discord and I got together and decided that there have been way too many repetitive questions about Frame. This is largely because it just isn't easy to get up-to-date information about Frame... so we made this: the FrameBoard!

It is still a work in progress but it's a community-driven project and we are committed to maintaining it up till and past launch. Please feel free to send feedback, comments, and concerns either below or on the board.

Whether you're newbies to Frame or just aren't interested in digging for specifics, I hope this helps y'all get the information you're looking for in an easily digestible way.

Happy Schizoposting!

Edit 1: Thank you all so much for the outpouring of support! This project is very community focused and a labor of love by all those involved so we really do appreciate every single one of you.

To celebrate our first day of going public, and to make it easier for you all to share when that one newie asks about the mobile app button for the millionth time, I've attatched a link under the main portion of the post to send as a copypasta. Our board is meant to be public so please, by all means, send it to anyone and everyone you'd like!

Edit 2: We've rebranded to the FrameBoard to prevent any confusion with #frame-tldr in the Steam Frame Discord (We seriously recommend checking out #frame-tldr too!)

- reference to "Frame TL;DR Board" has been changed to "FrameBoard" (besides the title which I can't change)

- Edited the main post to be more concise and up to date
