Valve have released yet another Beta for the upcoming release of Steam Deck SteamOS 3.6, this time fixing some really annoying issues. Maybe "Tenth time's the charm" will get us closer to the stable release?
This is included in the Beta and Preview update channels.
Here's what's changed:
Bluetooth
- Fixed a 3.6 regression with the Steam Controller and some other third-party controllers causing session crashes.
- Fixed an issue where Bluetooth peripherals would disconnect on session switch.
Display
- Fixed an issue where the internal display could remain blank after disconnecting an external display.
- Fixed a 3.6 regression where the selected refresh rate setting would sometimes not apply immediately.
Is there a particular bug you think needs to be solved before it goes stable? Let me know in the comments.

How long has it been since they started working on version 3.6?

I'm always tempted to try out these Preview/Beta builds but too afraid that'll make changes on my Steam Deck that might cause more problems. Now, if I had a spare Steam Deck, I would go for it but don't have the funds for another one right now.

It's definitely a possibility, and why it's beta. I switch between Stable and Beta and vis a versa when I **have** a problem, and it's worked well for me. I don't switch builds to "try out" a new feature.

Have they fixed the issue where Steam Input remains in desktop mode rather than emulating a gamepad when running certain non-Steam games, namely emulator Flatpaks like PCSX2?

Oh yes finally they fixed the display issue. It is so damn annoying if you want to play on a TV and have to reboot the Deck several times for it to pick up any display at all. If they also fixed the issue where all displays stay blank. External as well as internal 😅
