The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:


General

  • Fixed a stall in games after taking a screenshot for users with very large numbers of local screenshots (10's of thousands)

  • Fixed cases where repeatedly accessing the controller configurator in the overlay would leave extra instances of it in the backstack after exiting the game

  • Allow child accounts to adjust the brightness of the screen

  • Added "View In Library" to the context menu for games on the downloads page

  • Clicking on the game image of the actively downloading item on the downloads page will now navigate to the game's library page.

  • Fixed a case where bluetooth devices would sometimes show as a generic device under Settings->Bluetooth instead of showing as their specific type (e.g. gamepad/headphones)

  • Fixed a rare crash that could happen when scanning for WiFi devices under Settings->Internet


Desktop Mode

  • Fixed a case where navigation menus stopped showing after closing a game


Steam Input

  • Fixed a case where the title of the configuration in the summary screen would break after making an edit

  • Fixed a case where inputs with multiple bindings would show up as \[object] \[object] after removing a binding

  • Fixed SIAPI trigger bindings sometimes not working when bound to buttons

  • Fixed Gyro as Joystick mode ignoring sensitivity settings
