Steam Beta Client Update: October 5th

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

General

• Fix cases where users with older CPUs could have the client hang/crash when starting downloads for games with many identical files

• Fix desktop shortcuts always using the default launch option rather than your saved option
• Fix some cases where the onscreen keyboard would drop presses during dual trackpad typing
• Fix the diacritic options menu interactions during dual trackpad typing

Steam Input

• Added a landing page to the configurator when no file on disk could be loaded and give you the option to select a new configuration. This was one of the causes of a blank configurator
• Improve the display of cloud sync status in the configurator and give you the option to skip and proceed to the configurator. This was another common cause of a blank configuration because the layout was broken and the info offscreen.
• Fix pairing the 2015 Steam Controller
• FIxed glyphs for Switch controllers in Heavy Rain

Remote Play

• The adjust bitrate option of the network health dialog behaves more intuitively
