Note: This update is for the Steam Deck Preview channel, and includes new features that are still being tested. You can opt into this in Settings > System > System Update Channel. General Fixed an issue where modifying settings in the desktop partition manager could prevent the SD card from being mounted and visible in Steam Fixed an issue in desktop mode where dropping a folder on the desktop would erroneously create a shortcut for every item within the folder.

General

  • Fixed an issue where modifying settings in the desktop partition manager could prevent the SD card from being mounted and visible in Steam
  • Fixed an issue in desktop mode where dropping a folder on the desktop would erroneously create a shortcut for every item within the folder.

Graphics and Performance

  • Fixed the performance overlay displaying GPU clock speed as an instantaneous measurement rather than an average, resulting in misleading numbers.
    • This matches behavior of SteamOS 3.4.11
  • Fixed a problem with elevated noise levels for trackpad pressure sensors. Affects only certain configurations.
  • Fixed incorrect colors (gamma) when using Steam In-Home Streaming.
  • Fixed a rare system crash on game exit
  • Fixed an issue in certain HDR titles wherein wiggling the cursor on the same frame as closing the game would cause incorrect colors in subsequent game launches
  • Improved a situation where a game’s frame presentation could block because of buffers submitted by Steam or other windows, removing a potential source of game stutters.
  • When the frame limiter or vsync is enabled, the performance overlay now shows frame timings based on when they are flipped to the display, rather than when the GPU rendering was completed. The GPU-based timings are still visible on level four setting.
  • Fixed an issue causing stutter in certain games that buffer multiple frames in advance.
  • Miscellaneous compositor performance improvements.

    Whoever found the cause of this bug better be damn proud of themselves.

    I really just want the drivers for the Xbox controller wireless receiver so I don’t need to reinstall them every time I update my steam deck.

      Is there a bug report for that? They usually add things like this relatively quickly.

        It’s not a bug exactly, but a feature I would like added. Where can I report it?

          On Github. But make sure to search first if there’s already an issue open for it. If there is you can give it a thumbs up.

              Cool. You should post your workaround there in case anyone else searching finds it. Maybe with the solution posted in might gain some traction

    I hope this will fix my audio in remote play. The streaming was working fine until the previous update made everything sound like a tin can.
