Steam Deck Client Update 10/18/22

Yesterday, Valve pushed out a new update to the Steam Deck Client on the stable branch! This one adds in controller-specific glyphs to the lock screen, increased boot animation max length to 30 seconds, fixed a couple bugs, and more:

• General
  • The Quick Access Menu will now open to the notifications tab when you have new friend chat messages, game invites, or voice chat invites
  • Notifications for Game Invites in the Quick Access Menu now have an option in the footer to accept them without having to navigate to the chat window
  • Added External Display Safe Mode to developer settings. When enabled, the next time an external display is plugged in Steam Deck will pick a low resolution configuration, which may help in some cases where the external display has issues.
  • Increase boot animation max length from 10 seconds to 30 seconds
  • Added controller-specific glyphs on the Lock screen
  • Don't show the "switch to desktop" option in the power menu when the lock screen is active.
  • Fixed an issue where Steam group chats with long names or descriptions could cause break the layout of the chat screen
  • Fixed an issue on the Lock screen where you'd have to dismiss the On-Screen Keyboard manually if you slept the device while it was up
  • Fixed invoking the On-Screen-Keyboard while already in a full-screen keyboard input scenario causing bad behavior.
  • Fixed a case where the Performance Overlay would still show when set to off.
    
• Steam Input
  • Restore the previous behavior of using stick deflection rather than the capacitive sensor for Radial Menus that don't have center buttons bound
  • Fixed an in-game crash
  • Fixed an issue with editing command settings from inside the virtual menu screen
