The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:
General:
-
Fixed the Recordings & Screenshots dialog not showing all games that have related screenshots in the game filter dropdown.
-
Improved the text layout in achievement notifications when the name, description or both wrap across multiple lines.
Big Picture:
-
The mouse is now hidden in the overlay until there’s mouse movement
-
Fixed issues with trackpad typing if the trackpad is touched while the onscreen keyboard is opening
Steam Input:
-
Improved the consistency of trackpad sensitivity between Steam Deck and Steam Controller
-
Fixed cases where the Virtual menu modes could show the wrong activation type if it was created in the standalone menu vs from a controller source
-
Implemented a version of the “Reorder Controller” dialog for Steam Input API games. Note – this disconnects the controllers temporarily so older games which do not handle hot plugging properly can lose controller input
-
Additional polish for the multibinding page
-
In the desktop UI overlay the desktop config will now be applied. For most gamepads this will not be a difference in behavior because they have a blank desktop config, but Steam Controllers or devices that have setup a custom desktop config will have mouse input to click on things in the overlay.
Remote Play:
-
Improved color accuracy when streaming from a Windows computer
-
Fixed the mouse cursor when streaming from Linux using the SteamRT3C client
-
Fixed a capture lockup when streaming from pipewire on Linux and SteamOS
-
Reduced Pyrowave latency when streaming from pipewire on Linux and SteamOS
-
Added the -pyrowavestats command line option to log Pyrowave encoding performance
SteamRT3 Experimental Beta
-
Fixed Steam overwriting PATH, LD_PRELOAD, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables when launching games.
