The Steam Deck preview channel got a tonne of nice fixes today addressing some issues from the recent 3.5.5 rollout
General Fixes
Resolved an issue where changing settings in the desktop partition manager could prevent SD cards from being mounted and visible in Steam.
Fixed a bug in desktop mode where dragging a folder onto the desktop incorrectly created shortcuts for every item inside the folder.
Graphics and Performance Enhancements
Corrected the performance overlay that was showing GPU clock speed as an instantaneous measurement instead of an average, aligning with SteamOS 3.4.11.
Fixed a problem with high noise levels in trackpad pressure sensors, affecting certain configurations.
Addressed the issue of incorrect colors (gamma) during Steam In-Home Streaming.
Resolved a rare system crash occurring upon game exit.
Fixed a color issue in some HDR titles where moving the cursor while closing the game caused incorrect colors in subsequent launches.
Improved situations where game frame presentations could be hindered by buffers from Steam or other windows, potentially reducing game stutters.
Updated the performance overlay to show frame timings based on their display flip time, rather than GPU rendering completion, when frame limiter or vsync is enabled. More detailed GPU-based timings are still available.
Fixed a stuttering issue in games that buffer multiple frames ahead.
Implemented various compositor performance improvements.
Overall, these updates aim to enhance the user experience on Steam by improving system stability, graphics performance, and the accuracy of performance metrics.
