Steam Deck Beta Client Update: May 13th
We have just shipped an updated Steam Deck Client to the Preview/Beta channel.
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.
Library
Improved EULA scrolling behavior when using a controller
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.
