Steam Deck Beta Client Update - December 8th

Note: This update is for the Steam Deck Beta and Preview channels, and includes new features that are still being tested. You can opt into this in Settings > System > Steam Update Channel.

General

• Further optimizations to load times for users with large game libraries
  
• Fixed a case where the UI would think that a game is running when it's not, leaving games in an "exiting forever' state
  
• Fixed a case where disconnecting a controller while navigating would not cancel repeating movements
  

Desktop Mode

• Replaced launch option dialog with new UI that includes a checkbox to remember the user's selection. Added a dropdown in game properties to change that selection after it is remembered.
  
• Fixed intermittent browser crash when closing Update news dialog
  
• Fixed a rare crash exiting New Big Picture Mode
  
• Use the New Big Picture Mode standalone keyboard if Steam is configured to run in new BPM (e.g. -newbigpicture was specified on the command-line)
  
• Fix some UI scaling issues in the New Big Picture Mode overlay when running in games in high resolution
