The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:
General
- Fixed issues where some errors launching a game were not displayed, such as when an update is downloading, but there's not enough disk space available
- Notification settings for the notification feed can now be set in-client from the Settings panel
- Updated URL for store checkout process.
- Added a bell icon to the header when there are new notifications, and a green indicator to new notifications in the notifications list.
Steam Input
- Fixed certain calibration settings not saving correctly
- Fixed Rumble on DualShock controllers.
- Nintendo Switch Pro and JoyCons Gyroscopes now have sensitivities that are roughly equal to all other controllers as we step toward a Natural Sensitivity Scale (i.e. real world rotations result in roughly the same in-game output, regardless of controller used). Steam Input sensitivities on SwitchPro and JoyCon configurations will be automatically updated compensate.
Desktop Mode
- Fixed an issue in the library causing the game released section to accidentally display for users who added the Street Fighter 6 demo to their account. This section of the library should only display when a game that you have pre-purchased is ready for pre-load or has released and is now ready to play.
- Notifications now include the friend indicator overlay on user avatars when the avatar is a friend
- Fixed regression where F11 was not toggling fullscreen mode correctly
- Added support for notification types shown in the Desktop Client and Mobile app: Wishlist, Trade Offer, Steam Turn, Help Request, Major Sale, and Comment.
