A new Steam Deck Client update was released that fixes some bugs here and there. Installed DLC will now be recognized by all games again, BIOS updates will no longer be stopped from application on Steam Deck OLEDs, and there will no longer be any startup failures when runtime files fail to unpack. It's a small update overall, but with some essential fixes!

You can download and install the new update through the System settings on your Steam Deck.
