PayPalAnother day, another load of bug fixes coming from Valve for all Steam users and an especially nice one for Linux / SteamOS if you have a lot of games.
Something that does come up now and then is that the Steam client on Linux systems (like Steam Deck) can seemingly forget it's able to run Windows games via Proton. There's a few different ways it can happen, with previous bugs already solved by Valve and now they've found another related bug to squash.
From the Steam Beta changelog:
General
- Fixed intermittent error in downloads view when moving game entries between scheduled and queued sections.
Linux
- Fixed a bug that could result in Proton games showing up as "Not valid on current platform" for users with very large libraries.
Steam Input
- Fixed a bug in Gyro To Joystick Deflection mode where a setting of 0 for Minimum Gyro Deflection, and any non zero Minimum Joystick Output would still result in zero output without a significant amount of gyro deflection. This should help gyro users to dial in games' internal joystick dead zone size more easily.
- Added option to apply Gyro to Joystick Deflection range remapping and acceleration settings on an Per-Axis or Circular basis.
- Fixed an issue with Switch Pro Controller Home LEDs turning on when disabled.
- Fix a case where ABXY button options could be missing from configs
.
The changelog is the same for the Steam Deck.

I've had it a couple of times, but it always went away by itself. Still good to see them track it down. :-)

LinuxIf this is the bug where you see the Available for Windows and the Install button is greyed out, then they have not completely fixed that bug. It looks like I am on the Steam Beta. I have seen this in one of my games, and on a Steam Family library game and a demo
