Big Steam update is out now, plus the Steam Workshop upgrade rolls out for everyone

Valve have rolled up all the recent Beta updates into a fresh stable update for all Steam gamers with lots of tweaks and the new Workshop update too.

For the Steam Workshop, this update brings the Beta from earlier in April out to everyone with a new browsing UI to bring the Steam Workshop into a much more modern setting. Looks a lot better and it's a lot more useful than before to filter through things.

They haven't yet updated the actual mod pages, that's to come later.

As for the main Desktop Steam Client update, there's a lot of bug fixes here along with a slightly refreshed look for Steam Big Picture settings pages. Plus newer Steam Controller firmware, and lots of general Steam Controller improvements. There's even some nice Remote Play upgrades in there too - a little bit of everything.

See all the changes below:

General

• Fixed an issue where the Steam Workshop would download an older version of an item if there were multiple versions of the item that were marked valid for game beta branch the user opted into.
• Fixed a rare case where the Steam Controller welcome dialog could appear while updating the controller's firmware.
• Fixed streamable non-Steam games showing in Library when Remote Play is turned off.
• Fixed some startup movies failing to play in Big Picture Mode.
• Fixed option to clear custom backgrounds and logos not showing in library.

Settings

• Updated the layout and styles for client settings across desktop, Big Picture and controller configuration to improve readability and organization.
• Notification settings has been updated to allow changing e-mail, client, and mobile notification preferences in one place.

In-Game Overlay

• Fixed a case where Performance Monitor could over report frame rate if a game erroneously calls NVIDIA APIs to get new frame tokens at a much higher rate than their actual Present frame rate.
• Fixed cases where the overlay may not immediately cover the entire screen when first invoked.
• Fixed cases where the Big Picture mode overlay notifications may be positioned incorrectly until the overlay is first invoked.
• Fixed a rare case where GameOverlayUI64.exe could stop responding and use too much CPU.

Steam Controller Firmware

• Fixes for trackpad 'dead zone' issues experienced by some Steam Controllers.
• Fixed IMU failures when using extended rumble.
• Fixed an issue with occasional stutter on the gyro polling rate.
• Fixed an issue where continuous rumble would sometimes break Gyro input.

Steam Input

• Steam Controller: Minor improvement to gyro micro stutter (ignore clone packets).
• You can turn off "Track Pad locking" - by default each trackpad is disabled while the corresponding joystick is either deflected or the joystick's capacitive sensor has been activated. This is to avoid accidental track pad touches when using a joystick. Find the setting in: Settings->Controller->Details->Calibration & Advanced->Trackpad Lockout.
• Gyro to Joystick Camera: Defaulted Gyro Deadzone Speed and Gyro Precision Speed to 0 to aide tuning the correct Minimum Joystick Output - these settings would swallow the micro movements needed to check the minimum response to gyro movements. Also: added Minimum Joystick Output slider on the Configurator Quick Settings list.
• Added an extra option to Gyro to Joystick Camera - Angle Catchup can be active while gyro ratcheting.
• Fixed Gyro to Joystick Camera timing issue - should appear smoother across all controllers.
• Removed several configuration options from incompatible inputs. Digital Buttons can no longer be set Press types that require Analog input and Gyro can no longer be set to incompatible Radial Menu or Hotbar. These options will still be available for all compatible inputs.
• Fixed detecting the Steam Controller when it is charging on the puck at Steam startup.
• Fixed an issue with doubled input when the Steam Controller is charging on the puck.
• Fixed FlyDigi Vader 5 Pro in enhanced mode on Linux and macOS.
• Fixed "Reset Camera To Horizon" action operating inconsistently in different engines - turn commands chunked into 2 to improve consistency.
• Fixed quick settings Left Trackpad to point to correct settings, instead of toward Gyro.
• Fixed not being able to use Grip Sense to activate Touch Menus.
• Fixed Grip Sense sensor page Grip Range slider, and adjusted explanations.
• Added Grip Sense rumble effect to Grip Sense calibration screen.
• Fixed an issue where Steam Controller grip thresholds were loaded incorrectly in the device calibration screen.
• Fixed an issue preventing the Steam button chord configuration from being edited for the Steam Controller.
• Fixed Steam Controller input in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.

Linux

• The 'Legacy Steam Runtime' compatibility tool is now an optional standalone download instead of being bundled with the Steam client.
• Fixed firmware updates failing on systems where libhidapi was not installed.
• Fixed a case where dropdown windows and profile hover windows could get stuck on screen.
• Fixed a crash related to the Steam Controller on Linux.

Remote Play

• Alt-Enter now toggles windowed mode.
• Window mode, position, and size are saved between sessions.
• Added a windowed mode toggle and 1:1 resize button to the mouse/keyboard overlay menu.
• Added an advanced client option to enable microphone streaming.
• Fixed the client disconnecting after a short period of time when doing non-local streaming.
• Fixed the Steam Link app not showing the computer as online after pairing in some cases.

For the Steam Deck Client update these seem to be specific to it from the changelog:

• Fixed a crash related to the Steam Controller.
• Fixed the "View friends list" link in the Big Picture home page opening the older non-QAM version of the friends list.
• Improved EULA scrolling behavior when using a controller.
• Directly navigating to a specific settings page (i.e by activating the network icon in the header) will now focus the first setting in that section instead of the settings navigation menu.
• Friend status will now update much more quickly after waking your device from sleep or toggling network connectivity.
