Valve just launched the latest main Steam Client stable update for all supported platforms bringing fixes for Steam Machine, Steam Controller, Remote Play and more.
This should make the Steam Machine feels just a little bit less like a Beta, with it now actually showing Steam Machine Verified details in your Steam Library along with the Great on Machine Library page, to make it easy to see what games in your selection should run out of the box.
Valve also finally fixed the SteamOS / Deck / Machine changelogs showing up for the wrong update channels. A bit less confusing for users now.
Plenty of tweaks for the new Steam Controller too, so you’ll need a firmware update if you haven’t previously been testing it out on the Steam Beta. Lots more, see everything below.
From the main desktop changelog:
General
- Improved notification settings layout in some languages.
- Fixed a case where the controller pairing screen could pop up during controller firmware updates.
Steam Workshop
- Re-worked system that managed what subscribed items needed to be updated.
In-Game Overlay
- Fixed a case where the in-game overlay could hold a reference and prevent a game which tries to fully tear down and recreate the renderer after a D3D12 device/driver failure from succeeding.
Remote Play
- Added 59.94 FPS as an available framerate limit.
- Reduced frame drops when the framerate limit is set to automatic.
- Fixed black screen when hardware encoding is disabled.
- Fixed offline devices showing as streamable when they aren’t.
- Fixed overloading the client video decoder when unlimited bandwidth is enabled.
- Fixed mouse coordinates for input-only streaming.
Steam Input
- Steam Controller: The Gyro Calibration Threshold has been set to 50% of the previous value so that it is less likely to trigger while in hand.
- Steam Controller: Gyro Calibration threshold is now available in Steam->Settings->Controller->Details->Calibration & Advanced (Open)->Gyro Calibration.
- Steam Controller: You can choose to disable hardware calibration and rely on the standard Steam Input Gyro Calibration tools instead, by using the “Enable Software Calibration for Steam Controller” toggle.
