Valve just released the latest stable Steam update for all platforms – bringing the usual assortment of new features and bug fixes across the store. This was released June 23rd, pulling in updates from recent Beta versions.
From the main Steam changelog:
General
- Added support for the Malay language.
- Updated controller pairing UI.
- Improved Pipewire session logic on Linux. If persistent capture permissions are granted to Steam, there will only be an active Pipewire session when streaming or recording.
- Fixed video autoplay not working in some cases.
- Fixed webusb notifications showing for some devices when connected.
In-Game Overlay
- Fixed a bug where performance monitor showed FG rather than DLSS in some situations where we should have known DLSS specifically was in use for frame generation.
Friends & Chat
- Fixed a bug that could cause gamepad navigation to become unresponsive after clicking ‘Ignore All’ on the friend invite list.
Remote Play
- Added a button to toggle the performance graph in the streaming overlay.
- Added a 100 Mbit/s bandwidth option.
- The “Unlimited” bandwidth option allows adaptive bitrate up to 250 MBit/s when connecting to the latest Steam beta.
- The enhanced streaming presets use “Unlimited” (adaptive up to 250 Mbit/s) bandwidth.
Steam Input
- Added support on Windows for more than 4 Xbox controllers if GameInput v3 is installed. This can be enabled by running Steam with “-gameinput” as a command line option.
- Added support for GameCube rumble when the adapter is in PC mode.
- Fixed the selected action set in the configurator resetting while making edits in the configurator.
- Fixed a bug virtual menus assigned to a mode shift would not be able to add bindings when accessed via the link on the source page.
