Steam Deck Beta Client Updates 8/17/23 - 8/19/23

2 new Steam Deck Beta Client updates were released in the last couple of days, though both of them are quite small and only deal with some fixes. These fixes include screenshot thumbnails, disappearing non-steam games, and stopping the on-screen keyboard from breaking controller input. There was also an added option to In-Game Settings that allows browser tabs to be stored and restored when starting a game and reduced lag when switching between pages in the "Edit Layout" view:
