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 > System Update Channel.

The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:

  • Fixed issue with steam://connect/:/ was not handled.
  • Fixed a case where the System Report upload process would proclaim success even though the operation failed.
  • Added a "Save To Desktop" option to the System Report dialog.


Steam Cloud
  • Fixed a case where Steam Cloud saves could be synced to a computer that did not have the game installed if the game was available for streaming from another PC


Desktop Mode
  • Fixed clicking "Play Game" links in event news causing client popup windows to close.
  • steamwebhelper support dialog is now shown if the main client window cannot be created at startup.
