Remember the problems I recently had with Dying Light? Turns out it was the fault of Steam. The new beta client should fix issues people have with various games on newer distributions. It also adds a new experimental feature for the Steam Controller.
I have tested it myself, and it does fix the games I had problems with.

QuoteBig PictureArticle taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
Added Store Page link to game library entries in the "Manage Game" section
Fixed Web Browser context menu not positioned correctly on certain screen sizes
Fixed an issue where the overlay would become unresponsive if restarting a game directly after exiting it through the overlay
Linux
Updated ALSA libraries in the Steam Runtime to prevent compatibility issues with newer distributions
Steam Controller
Fixed haptics intensity being stuck to High if anti-deadzone was in use
Setting any anti-deadzone on the joystick will now disable all joystick hardware deadzoning. Note that this can cause drift if the anti-deadzone is too large or if not using a proper anti-deadzone buffer. (Requires Firmware Update)
Experimental Rumble Emulation is now available as an Application Setting. This feature tries to emulate a feel similar to rumble despite haptic actuators being a very different technology than rumble motors. (Requires Firmware Update). Note: if your battery level is very low, heavy haptic actuation can result in your controller spuriously shutting itself off

if you have problems with audio with any steam games can you try to run this command
sudo ln -sfv /etc/machine-id /var/lib/dbus/machine-id
Let me know if it fixes your audio problems :)

Going through my list of Unity games (the ones installed) none of them have any sound problems on the 4.2.0 kernel.
By the way, have any of you seen the list of Unity games? IT'S HUGE!!!!!

Quoting: maodzedunThere is a rumble support now, people. Why is nobody talking about this? :)))I know I love it! It's the next evolution: Rumble that doesn't shake your hands all over the place like a Looney Toon hit by a frying pan.
I make a distinction of "haptic rumble" and "motor rumble," with motor rumble of course referring to rumble of ye olde. I'm not sure that would be a technically correct use of terms, but "haptic rumble" does roll off the tongue better than "rumble emulation."

Quoting: STiATTake care, this one bricked my steam controller...
Did you try the unbicking guide? As I understand it, it helps 99% of the time.

Yea, I could reflash the original firmware. Though, it did brick my controller anyway (doing it again, it bricks again). Something is wrong there.
Already in contact with steam support about the issue. Seems not to be a general issue, could be related to my setup or controller too (tried on debian & arch with kernel 4.3.0, both bricked it).
They said worst-case if they can't reproduce I've to return my controller and get a new one to check if it was a HW-Issue. Doubt that though, worked perfectly well before :D.
