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

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

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

Big Picture

  • On Windows start showing wifi vs ethernet and wifi strength in the header

  • Fix some cases where the onscreen keyboard would drop presses during dual trackpad typing

  • Fix the diacritic options menu interactions during dual trackpad typing
