Valve Releases New Steam Deck Update
Valve unveils a new Steam Deck Client update fixing various issues and bringing quality-of-life improvements to its handheld device.
Steam Deck Client Update Patch Notes
General
- Improved library performance for users with large numbers of collections.
- Fixed a hitch that some players with large libraries might encounter every 15 minutes while playing a game.
- Fixed presentation and localization of items in the Special Offers section.
- Fixed notifications for achievements not firing when offline.
- Fixed a case where the wrong FPS limit could be applied on startup.
- Fixed a case where the controller input thread could operate at normal instead of high scheduling priority.
- Fixed styling on the login error screen and made the retry button accessible to the gamepad.
Library
- Added the ability to sort by date added to library to shelves and game grids.
Steam Input
- Added the ability to copy and paste mappings when setting up controller inputs.
- Improved navigation in the configurator when navigating from the Preview screen. Repeatedly going to Preview then an input will no longer build up loops in the back stack and you can now go back with a single B button press if you've not interacted with the left column.
- Fixed some cases where navigation changes from the previous beta could result in a blank page in the configurator.
- Fixed changing effects on PS4 and PS5 controllers when Steam Input is not enabled.
Desktop Mode
- Added In-Game setting to allow enabling or disabling display scaling in the overlay.
- Changed behavior of overlay tabbed browser to clear all tabs when the close button is clicked and added a minimize button to hide the browser as the close button previously did.
- Fixed wallet balance not updating in title bar when balance hits zero.
- Fixed incorrect display of "Notify me about additions or changes to my games..." setting in interface settings if it had never been changed before.
- Fixed a case where the UI would show the wrong image when switching between small mode and normal mode.
- Fixed main client window taking focus from other Steam windows when navigation menus are hovered.
Developer console
- Added a setting to display timestamps in the Steam console window.
- Changed Steam console window to keep the last several seconds of output even if that would exceed the normal buffer length.
- Fixed command echo sometimes appearing on the same line as the previous output.
- Fixed clear_console command not doing anything.
Added the ability to sort by date added to library to shelves and game grids.
I can finally stare at my backlog while I fail to move through it!
OMG finally. Now I can find the new games I've bought when I go on a spending spree and buy like 10 games
New vent scent?
someone should make a fragrance filter for the vent and I'll unironically buy it
Release 3.5 already.
With how broken it is on the preview channel? Hell no!
That’s what I thought this was initially,
Pain
What's in 3.5?
Better handling of DX11 shader compilation, an important fix for L2 caches when multithreading, the ability to manually control scaling for lower resolutions, native vibrancy slider for the screen.
Guess I know what I'm doing when I get home...
