Steam Client Update – April 1st

A new Steam client has been released and will be automatically downloaded.

General

  • Fixed brief layout shift of elements (one or two frames) when navigating back to the library section.
  • Fixed Steam Client window focusing multiple times on startup.
  • Fixed Update News window being covered by Steam Client window at startup.
  • Fixed notifications displaying in wrong position in some games.
  • Fixed some instances where windows fail to render after display events.
  • Fixed game content switching from private beta to default branch in some cases
  • Fixed child accounts in a family getting additional playtime after switching to offline mode.
  • Fixed in-game friends sometimes not showing up in the “Friends Who Play” section of the game details page.
  • Improved accuracy of download progress and time estimates. Accuracy will improve over the course of more downloads.
  • Improved consistency and clarity of download/install/update UI:
    • Byte counts, when displayed, refer to the number of bytes to download.
    • Progress bars and percentages, when displayed, refer to the total progress of the install/update, which includes work before, after, and during the download. The exception is the top (blue) progress bar on the downloads page, which shows the bytes downloaded.
    • Time remaining estimates refer to the total progress of the install/update. These estimates will be very rough at first but will become more accurate as Steam learns more about the performance of the user’s network and disks.

Big Picture

  • Fixed issue that could allow the keyboard to cover the target text area when summoned from a game.

macOS

  • Added Steam Overlay support for games using HDR rendering.

Linux

  • Improved the download speed of Steam client updates.
  • No longer applying compatibility tool filtering to shortcuts.
  • Fixed a rare issue where non-steam Protons could get assigned an incorrect compatibility tool.
  • Fixed initial positioning of dropdown menus.

Remote Play

  • Fixed controller input when streaming S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
  • Fixed sending a Remote Play Together invite from a VR game streaming to a headset
