Over the course of the last two days, there were two small updates for the Steam Deck Client that focuses on cleaning up some bugs. Two days ago, we had four different fixes that focused on Steam Input and general issues like UI getting stuck at loading while in offline mode and the Steam Overlay sometimes toggling when activating the virtual keyboard. Then yesterday, a small bug was fixed that prevented Offline Mode login on the first restart after installing an update.

Both of these updates have been pushed to the stable client, so you just have to go to your system settings and update there!

Steam Deck Client 9/17/24 Update Changelog:

General

  • Fixed a rare case where the UI could get stuck showing a loading throbber at startup while in Offline Mode.

  • Fixed Steam overlay sometimes toggling when activating on-screen keyboard from controller chord.
