Valve released a fresh Steam Beta Client update for March 27th bringing with it a few fixes, plus an interesting seeming improvement for how they calculate download progress and timing.

Here's all the changes:

General

  • Fixed game content switching from private beta to default branch in some cases.
  • Improved accuracy of download progress and time estimates. Accuracy will improve over the course of more downloads.
  • Fixed child accounts in a family getting additional playtime after switching to offline mode.
  • Fixed in-game friends sometimes not showing up in the "Friends Who Play" section of the game details page.
  • Fixed client windows sometimes not re-opening in the same locations.

Remote Play

  • Fixed controller input when streaming S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.

Not necessarily 'right now', but I have noticed sometimes when I pop up the brightness/volume/performance/whatnot overview on the right-hand side of the screen; sometimes it is not scaled correctly and overflows the screen. As I tend to use it to see what time it is and what the battery level is at, it's a bit annoying when the top halves of the numbers are cut off.
