We have just shipped an updated Steam Client update to the Stable channel.

Note: This client was re-released September 6th with the following additional changes:

• Fixed a case where the steamwebhelper process could experience high CPU usage when certain events were shown in the library tab.

General

• Allow changing account while a game is running. In this case, the change account dialog shows a warning that proceeding will close active games.

• Added "Ask which account to use on startup" toggle to startup account chooser.

• Eliminated "change account" confirmation dialog in most cases. Changing account while Steam is running now brings up the account chooser directly, then restarts as the chosen account.

• Steam shutdown now waits for just-exited games to finish cloud sync.

• In the Web Browser, the left trackpad of Steam Deck/Steam Controller is now bound to scroll wheel for navigating non-Steam websites.

• Fixed issues where some Steam Workshop items were not being updated properly.

• Fixed requesting a PIN reset while signed in as a different account restarting with the wrong account signed in.

• Fixed a bug where a single pixel line would sometimes appear above the header on the home screen.

• Fixed a issue where sometimes uninstalling a game would not remove it from the download queue.

• Fixed a crash when suspending/resuming a device after a controller disconnected.

Desktop Mode

• Fixed some keys not typing properly in Steam Overlay.

Friends & Chat

• Chat messages with suspicious content will now be flagged in group chats. You can report the messages, block the sender, or dismiss the warning by activating the notice.

Steam Input

• Make controller configurations that are shared with other devices or unique to a device more clear in the configurator UI and add an option to split Steam Controller configurations so they are no longer shared with Steam Deck.

Remote Play

• Improved video color range.

• Added support for HDR streaming on Steam Deck OLED.

• Added support for AV1 video streaming when using the experimental SteamRT3 Steam Client.

• Fixed a case where streaming could show a black window.

• Fixed a bug where Remote Devices with Remote Play enabled weren't showing as Streamable.

• Fixed video frame being clipped when desktop scaling is enabled.

• Fixed framerate drop when using the unlimited bandwidth option when streaming from Steam Deck or Steam Machine.

A new Steam Client update has been released and will be automatically downloaded.
