Another Steam Client Beta update went live yesterday, as Valve continue to polish up the experience.
It's quite a small one this time. What's changed:
Steam Input
- Added the ability to blacklist individual DirectInput and Xinput devices in the controller settings menu. This is intended to be used when a device either erroneously shows up as two devices or shows up as a controller but isn’t one.
Steam Networking Sockets
- Fixed issues with P2P connections sending too many keepalives on an idle connection
Linux
- Improve support for Steam Library on NTFS mounts
I've actually seen quite a few people complain about certain games showing a single gamepad as two devices, so hopefully this will help those specific cases. The Linux improvement for NTFS mounts is also an interesting one, hopefully those dual booting or switching over to Linux might see a better experience if they're not going to reformat drives and partitions.
Hopefully sometime soon a Steam Client Beta will drop with the new Steam Library overhaul. I'm actually really looking forward to it, as it looks so much cleaner and more useful.
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Quoting: sciroccoFinally they support other partitions. I used to have a sepate one for games only, but wine and proton didn't support that, so I was forced to get a bigger ssd for linux + games, I dont like that since I reinstall to try new distros constantly I loose all my games and have to reinstall.Nah, they always supported that if you add new folders to your steam library. The problem I was running into was it'd completely re-install the game if I had a NTFS folder shared between the Steam Linux client and Steam Windows client.
I don't think it's due to the files being different, because the data files would be the exact same. Not to mention it's the WINDOWS version of the game I'm installing, so all of it should be exactly the same, and it's just a bug.
