Note: This update is for the Steam Deck Beta and Preview channels, and includes new features that are still being tested. You can opt into this in Settings > System > System Update Channel.
General- Fixed a rare 3.6 issue that could cause filesystem corruption on Steam Deck 64GB
- Fixed a 3.6 regression where an already-inserted SD card would not always be detected on cold boot and would require re-insertion
- Fixed an issue where updates would could sometimes be applied incorrectly if the unit was powered off abruptly near the end of an OS update
- Fixed an issue with copy-pasting UTF-8 text across applications
Display- Improved frame pacing with VRR on external displays
- Fixed an issue where internal display could be abnormally limited to a lower frame rate after disconnecting an external display with VRR enabled
- Fixed a 3.6 regression where the screen would be blank during part of the boot sequence
- Fixed a 3.6 regression where the frame limit would not apply properly in specific conditions
Developer- Split package reinstallation step out of `steamos-devmode` command and into new `steamos-unminimize` command. `steamos-devmode` now simply enters read-write mode and initializes the pacman keyring for use, and is much quicker.
