We have just shipped an updated Steam Deck Client to the Stable (default) 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.

• 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.
  
• Adjusted the recent games page header so that it's visible when changing selection.
  
• Fixed left trackpad haptics triggering at wrong pressure for Steam Deck OLED.

• Added ability to change the local load order of Workshop item subscriptions.

• 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.
  
• Added functionality that allows swapping the items in your subscription list quickly using collections:
  
  • Added ability to save the filtered list of items to a new or existing Workshop collection. This will overwrite the contents of the collection with the contents of the list.
    
  • Added ability to overwrite the user's subscription list to just the contents of a Workshop collection.
