Steam Deck Beta Client Update: October 25th

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

General

  • Fixed multi-line mode support in the dialog shown by the ShowGamepadTextInput API call in Steamworks
  • Fix keyboard input dialog in-game failing to close/re-open properly if Steam Overlay is toggled while visible
  • Fix progress bar not updating during game update and move operations involving large files

Game Recording

  • Added support for automatic gain control for recording microphone
  • Added support for forcing microphone input to mono for misconfigured stereo mic setups

Desktop Mode

  • Always allow the Steam client to fallback to X11 when SDL_VIDEODRIVER/SDL_VIDERO_DRIVER is set to wayland.
  • Remove the UI toggle to disable Steam Play globally, correctly reflecting that Steam Play is always enabled on Linux. Steam Play was always partially active even when set to off in the UI as it is a requirement for Steam client operation.
  • Fix overlay hanging for some games in Desktop mode after the game restarts itself
