A new Steam Deck Beta Client update was released with some big fixes. One of the new updates recently caused all non-Steam games to fail to launch, so this update completely fixes that. There was also an issue fixed where the virtual keyboard wouldn't work in desktop mode, and the color accuracy for OpenGL games has been improved when streaming via Remote Play.
