Steam Beta Client Update: September 25th

We have just shipped an updated Steam Client to the Preview/Beta channel.

General:

• Fixed the Recordings & Screenshots dialog not showing all games that have related screenshots in the game filter dropdown.
• Improved the text layout in achievement notifications when the name, description or both wrap across multiple lines.
• Fix some cases of header/footer flicker and invisibility during the first seconds after waking from sleep.
• When waking from sleep with a game running but the account now playing elsewhere:
• Provide an option to exit the local game.
• Go back to sleep if there is no input for 60 seconds.

Fixed issues with trackpad typing if the trackpad is touched while the onscreen keyboard is opening

Steam Input:

• Improved the consistency of trackpad sensitivity between Steam Deck and Steam Controller
• Fixed cases where the Virtual menu modes could show the wrong activation type if it was created in the standalone menu vs from a controller source
• Implemented a version of the "Reorder Controller" dialog for Steam Input API games. Note - this disconnects the controllers temporarily so older games which do not handle hot plugging properly can lose controller input
• Additional polish for the multibinding page
• In the desktop UI overlay the desktop config will now be applied. For most gamepads this will not be a difference in behavior because they have a blank desktop config, but Steam Controllers or devices that have setup a custom desktop config will have mouse input to click on things in the overlay.

Remote Play:

• Improved color accuracy when streaming from a Windows computer
• Fixed the mouse cursor when streaming from Linux using the SteamRT3C client
• Fixed a capture lockup when streaming from pipewire on Linux and SteamOS
• Reduced Pyrowave latency when streaming from pipewire on Linux and SteamOS
• Added the -pyrowavestats command line option to log Pyrowave encoding performance

SteamRT3 Experimental Beta

• Fixed Steam overwriting PATH, LD_PRELOAD, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables when launching games.
