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

General

• Fixed an issue where the Steam Workshop would download an older version of an item if there were multiple versions of the item that were marked valid for game beta branch the user opted into.

• Fixed Steam html surfaces failing to render in some games (e.g. motd in Team Fortress 2).

Steam Input

• Fixed FlyDigi Vader 5 Pro in enhanced mode

• Steam Controller: Triggers and Grip Sense Activators now pulse the Rumble Haptics instead of Touchpad Haptics

• Steam Controller: if Grip Sense is used with an Activator slot, or as one of the Gyro Enable Buttons, default Haptics Level to low. This is to help confirm activation in the absence of true physical response. To disable, set the Haptics setting to "Off" in Grip Sense activator settings, or if used as a Gyro Enable Button, set Haptics to "Off" in the Gyro mode settings.

• Fix: "Reset Camera To Horizon" action was inconsistent in different engines - turn commands chunked into 2 to improve consistency.

• Fix: Quick Settings Left Trackpad points to correct settings, instead of toward Gyro.

• Steam Controller: Minor improvement to gyro micro stutter (ignore clone packets)

• Gyro to Joystick Camera: Defaulted Gyro Deadzone Speed and Gyro Precision Speed to 0 to aide tuning the correct Minimum Joystick Output - these settings would swallow the micro movements needed to check the minimum response to gyro movements. Also: added Minimum Joystick Output slider on the Configurator Quick Settings list.

• Fixed not being able to use Grip Sense to activate Touch Menus.

Steam Controller Firmware

• Additional fixes for trackpad 'dead zone' issues experienced by some Steam Controllers.

• Fixed IMU failures when using extended rumble.

General

• Fixed a crash related to the Steam Controller.

• The 'Legacy Steam Runtime' compatibility tool is now an optional standalone download instead of being bundled with the Steam client.

Settings

• Updated the layout and styles for client settings across desktop, Big Picture and controller configuration to improve readability and organization.

• Notification settings has been updated to allow changing e-mail, client, and mobile notification preferences in one place

• Directly navigating to a specific settings page (i.e by activating the network icon in the header) will now focus the first setting in that section instead of the settings navigation menu.

Friends & Chat

• Friend status will now update much more quickly after waking your device from sleep or toggling network connectivity

Steam Input

• Removed several configuration options from incompatible inputs. Digital Buttons can no longer be set Press types that require Analog input and Gyro can no longer be set to incompatible Radial Menu or Hotbar. These options will still be available for all compatible inputs.

• Fixed Gyro to Joystick Camera timing issue - should appear smoother across all controllers.

• Added an extra option to Gyro to Joystick Camera - Angle Catchup can be active while gyro ratcheting.

• Fixed micro-stutter in Steam Controller gyro

• You can now turn off "Track Pad locking" - by default each trackpad is disabled while the corresponding joystick is either deflected or the joystick's capacitive sensor has been activated. This is to avoid accidental track pad touches when using a joystick. Find the setting in: Settings->Controller->Details->Calibration & Advanced->Trackpad Lockout.

• Fixed Grip Sense sensor page Grip Range slider, and adjusted explanations.

Desktop Mode

• Fixed a case where dropdown windows and profile hover windows could get stuck on screen.
