Note: This beta was re-released on October 25th to fix issue a crash on startup affecting some users with older video card drivers
The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:
General
- Fix progress bar not updating during game update and move operations involving large files
- Fix overlay hanging in some games on macOS and Linux after the game restarts itself
Game Recording
- Added support for automatic gain control for recording microphone
- Added support for forcing microphone input to mono for misconfigured stereo mic setups
- Fixed a bug preventing loading of additional programs to record audio at client start time
Big Picture Mode
- Fix keyboard input dialog in-game failing to close/re-open properly if Steam Overlay is toggled while visible
- Fixed multi-line mode support in the dialog shown by the ShowGamepadTextInput API call in Steamworks
Linux
- Always allow the Steam client to fallback to X11 when SDL_VIDEODRIVER/SDL_VIDERO_DRIVER is set to wayland.
- Remove the UI toggle to disable Steam Play globally, correctly reflecting that Steam Play is always enabled on Linux. Steam Play was always partially active even when set to off in the UI as it is a requirement for Steam client operation.
- Fix a case where the wrong DPI scaling factor would be used for systems using a non-gnome based session with an active gnome-desktop-portal service.
