May 25, Steam Deck Beta Client updates

We have had 2 new Beta updates for the Steam Deck as they continue to fix up issues with desktop mode and a few other quality-of-life areas.


General

  • Restore time zone setting to General panel

  • Added search field on the Global Achievements tab

  • Added "Show Spoiler" option for hidden achievements on the Global Achievements tab

  • The Achievement Panel's In-Progress tab is now hidden when not rendered within the in-game overlay

  • Added initial support for Notes in the Overlay. This allows for basic editing--the more advanced formatting features are not currently available

Desktop Mode

  • Fixed soft-lock when shader processing has completed without the user pressing any buttons on the shader processing dialog

  • Fixed incorrect UI state when a game is purchased while the user is in a timed trial

  • Fixed file picker not opening when shown by Steam Library

  • Now properly showing any pending wallet balance in the main window header

  • Fixed file picker not opening when opened from the Store/Community tab.

  • Fixed issues with listing and adding flatpaks as non-Steam shortcuts.

  • The minimum size for Small mode has been changed to match the current minimum size in the non-beta Steam Client.

  • Remote Play: show MB/s instead of KB/s in the bandwidth rate settings.

  • Fixed handling of steam://url/WorkshopEula/<appid>/.

  • Fixed soft-lock when a web page would call the Javascript functions alert() or confirm(). This was reproduceable creating a guide or collection and not providing an image or a title.

  • Fixed the scrolling issue in the new Achievements panel, where the bottom part of the panel could not be reached if the main client window was short enough.

  • Fixed IME context menu displaying behind some UI.

  • Fixed IME issues when writing new text with some existing text after the input cursor.

  • Fixed issue setting the uncompressed screenshots directory.

Achievements Panel

  • Reworked Achievements panel to decrease the amount of space the header was taking up, as well as overall padding

  • Fixed navigation issues with the back button and closing the Achievements panel

In-Game Overlay

  • Added settings options to enable/disable toolbar button visibility and change their order

Steam Input

  • Fix regression with DualSense controller gyro sensitivity

  • Fix rotation settings when binding gyro to mouse output
