A small Beta update landed for Steam Desktop and Steam Deck, bringing in a few needed fixes so here's what's new from the August 19th update.

Since this is a Steam Client Beta, it's the same across Desktop and Steam Deck:

General

  • Fixed an issue where notifications could stop appearing while in game.
  • Fixed a crash when removing a non-Steam game from a parental controlled account.

Steam Input

  • Reduce CPU usage when using both Gyro and Joystick or Trackpad for mouse input.

Remote Play

  • Fixed a rare crash.

Taken from the changelog.

This follows on from the Beta update on August 13th that added a useful new option for Steam Families.
