The Steam Deck Client got an update on the stable branch today! This one focusing on the last couple beta updates which introduced fixes for offline mode and keyboards, as well as temporarily disabling the hot/cold temperature notifications due to false positives:

Offline Mode Fixes

We're continuing to look at making the user experience of playing games without an Internet connection a better, more intuitive experience.

  • Fixed issue where rebooting while in Steam Offline Mode would cause games to fail to launch
  • Fixed the Cloud Sync error notification popping up when offline
  • Disabled Steam Offline Mode button when not connected to the internet, as trying to do this currently gets Steam Deck into a bad state.
    • This change disables this button but does not in any way affect your ability to play games without an active Internet connection.

Keyboard

  • Fixed styling for CJK keyboard glyphs so everything appears centered correctly on keys
  • Fixed Recommended Layout not always showing up for the author of controller configuration
  • Fixed CJK font issues in SteamOS updater when running on Steam Deck
  • Fixed focus issue when tapping the show/hide password button
  • Removed the gap between keys on the virtual keyboard for improved typing

Other

  • Temporarily disabling hot / cold temperature notifications while we address issues with false positives

You can download this update via the system settings on your Steam Deck! You can also discuss this update with others on Steam.
