May 30-31 Steam Deck Beta Client updates

There have been a few more Beta client updates, mostly concentrating on the Desktop mode again but marching closer to the 3.5 release


General

  • Fixed issues where some errors launching a game were not displayed, such as when an update is downloading, but there's not enough disk space available

  • Notification settings for the notification feed can now be set in-client from the Settings panel

  • Updated URL for store checkout process.

  • Added a bell icon to the header when there are new notifications, and a green indicator to new notifications in the notifications list.

In-Game Overlay

  • Fixed issue where the tabbed browser would load up web pages from a previous session when not pinned. These web pages should only be restored if the tabbed browser was pinned or when the tabbed browser is made visible.

Steam Input

  • Fixed certain calibration settings not saving correctly

  • Fixed Rumble on DualShock controllers.

  • Nintendo Switch Pro and JoyCons Gyroscopes now have sensitivities that are roughly equal to all other controllers as we step toward a Natural Sensitivity Scale (i.e. real world rotations result in roughly the same in-game output, regardless of controller used). Steam Input sensitivities on SwitchPro and JoyCon configurations will be automatically updated compensate.

Desktop Mode

  • Fixed an issue in the library causing the game released section to accidentally display for users who added the Street Fighter 6 demo to their account. This section of the library should only display when a game that you have pre-purchased is ready for pre-load or has released and is now ready to play.

  • Notifications now include the friend indicator overlay on user avatars when the avatar is a friend

  • Fixed regression where F11 was not toggling fullscreen mode correctly

  • Added support for notification types shown in the Desktop Client and Mobile app: Wishlist, Trade Offer, Steam Turn, Help Request, Major Sale, and Comment.

  • Added a tooltip to "Other" section in storage settings to explain what it contains

  • Fixed occasional crash when toggling a game's favorite status through the play bar on the game details page.

  • Fixed maximized windows intermittently being sized incorrectly
