Valve clearly haven't heard of the dangers of pushing things out on a weekend, as we had multiple updates for SteamOS, Steam Deck and Steam Desktop.
While I did cover one update from Friday that added fixes for the new performance monitor, they pushed out another bunch much later that day (late evening my time). All the changes below are on Beta for Desktop and Beta / Preview for SteamOS.
For Desktop Steam the additional changes for Friday and Saturday combined are:
In-Game OverlayAccessibility
- Added support for a hot-key to use in-game to toggle Performance Monitor, this will toggle between Off and whatever corner you last had set. Default is none, if you want to use a hot-key you must set one.
- Added support for top-center and bottom-center positioning of Performance Overlay.
- Fixed an overlay UI restart when trying to type via IME for users in old 32bit games.
- Fixed an overlay UI restart when switching detail modes between showing GPU utilization and just showing FPS on some older AMD GPU systems.
- Allow Performance Monitor contrast/saturation slider to have more impact on graph line colors, these are never fully desaturated to keep readable at low levels despite being 1px lines.
Shortcuts
- Fixed unlabeled or incorrectly labelled UI elements in several locations.
- Fixed a crash related to the controller configurator.
- Fixed a case where shortcuts could fail to load until client restart.
That's just for Desktop but then there were multiple more updates for SteamOS and Steam Deck too.
SteamOS 3.7.11 Beta: A Type of Dolphin changes:
Screen Reader
- Fixed slider announcements not being interruptible.
- Fixed a case where the screen reader would not work after a reboot.
And the Steam Deck Client changes for Friday and Saturday:
AccessibilityShortcuts
- Fixed an issue where the Screen Reader would not read anything when activated for the first time.
- Fixed unlabelled or incorrectly labelled UI elements in several locations.
Steam Input
- Fixed a crash with the controller configurator.
- Fixed a case where shortcuts could fail to load until client restart.
- Fixed templates not showing up in the template tab of the choose binding dialog for Legion Go S devices.
