Another Beta release is out now for the Steam Client on both Desktop and Steam Deck. Here's the latest and what you need to know.

Since again this is a Steam Client update (not a SteamOS update) most of it applies to both Desktop and Steam Deck. Except the Steam Deck does have one specific nice bug-fix (changelog):

  • Fixed game resolution overrides failing to apply for non-steam games.

This will be nice for those of you docking your Steam Deck while playing various non-Steam games from other launchers, emulators and more.

The rest of the changes (changelog):

General

  • Fixed screenshots copied to the clipboard displaying with swapped red and blue channels on windows.

Big Picture Mode

  • Fixed a rare bug that could cause the login page to continuously fail with "error 11" until the client was restarted.

macOS

  • Fixed copy to clipboard not working for screenshots and recordings.

Steam Input

  • Added Output Icons to all Mode/Behavior dropdown menus. These indicate if the mode (by default) generates OS Mouse output, XInput (controller) Output, Steam Input API Action Output, or is a remapping tool/Overlay Menu (Touch, Radial, Hotbar).
  • Steam Input API Analog Actions that can have multiple modes i.e. "Camera | Camera as FlickStick" are now labelled as "... (via FlickStick)"
  • Steam Input API Analog Actions can now optionally be used "... (via Gyro To Mouse)" (default is still "As Mouse" or "As Joystick Mouse" depending on source).
  • Fix rare issue where Gyro Processing occurred before controller type is established.
  • Fix for Track Pad as Button Behavior not displaying any glyphs.
  • Fix "Gyro Calibration" Button appearing twice on Gyro config screen if there is a mode shift applied to the Gyro.

There's loads of image storage possibilities, many using RGB (red-green-blue), but also e.g. BGR.
