Steam Deck Beta Client Update: December 12th

We have just shipped an updated Steam Deck Client to the Preview/Beta channel.

General
  • Reduce the amount of black screen flashes that happen when opening the Steam interface while playing a game with a custom screen refresh rate setting.
  • Replaced Nearest scaling mode with Pixel, a pseudo-bandlimited filter for upscaling pixel art to non-integer factors without introducing aliasing. Integer scale factors will still be Nearest.
  • Fixed "Friends who Play" section not refreshing until the client was restarted
  • Fixed a crash in "Call of Duty: Black Ops III" when switching maps.
  • Fixed situations causing the Steam client to only download the Windows version of a title and later attempting to run it without Proton.
  • Reset the HDR Visualization setting to None for all users.
  • Moved the HDR Visualization setting from Display->Advanced to Developer settings.


Steam Workshop
  • Re-designed the Workshop subscriptions list (accessible from Game Properties). It now includes the ability to sort by subscription date, last updated, size, name, and load order.
  • Added ability to change the local load order of Workshop item subscriptions.
  • Added ability to set the local order based on any Workshop item dependencies (must be set on the Workshop items themselves).
  • Added ability to disable Workshop item subscriptions, which will hide them from the game.
  • Added the ability to filter the Workshop subscriptions list by tag name. Use the same search field for filtering items by name.
  • Show the name of the Workshop item being download in the game's tooltip on the Downloads page.
