You can run, but you can’t hide: Wanted boatie’s antics hit a snag


Location:

Wellington

In a desperate bid for freedom, a Porirua man fled from Police in a boat today, only to be pursued across the water by Wellington Maritime Unit’s vessel Lady Elizabeth IV.

Officers had gone to the Mana Twin Bridges public boat ramp about 8.30am and told the 27-year-old Porirua man he was under arrest for breaching bail conditions. Rather than face the consequences of his actions on a public holiday, the man jumped into his boat and fled towards the horizon.

Steam Deck Beta Client Update: February 5th

We have just shipped an updated Steam Deck Client to the Preview/Beta channel.

General

  • Fixed a bug that could result in Proton games showing up as “Not valid on current platform” for users with very large libraries.

  • Fixed intermittent error in downloads view when moving game entries between scheduled and queued sections.

Steam Input

  • Fixed a bug in Gyro To Joystick Deflection mode where a setting of 0 for Minimum Gyro Deflection, and any non zero Minimum Joystick Output would still result in zero output without a significant amount of gyro deflection. This should help gyro users to dial in games’ internal joystick dead zone size more easily.

  • Added option to apply Gyro to Joystick Deflection range remapping and acceleration settings on an Per-Axis or Circular basis.

  • Fixed an issue with Switch Pro Controller Home LEDs turning on when disabled

  • Fix a case where ABXY button options could be missing from configs
