Valve has released the latest update for the game client Steam, which includes optimizations for the full screen mode (“New Big Picture Mode”) and various games on Linux. The update also provides new features and bug fixes for Steam Input and Steam Remote Play.
Major product maintenance for the Steam Client
The automatically provided Steam Client update is designed as a major product update for various areas. In addition to a correction for the output of update news and other pop-ups when GPU acceleration is activated and correct display with Windows scaling of 100 percent, Valve has also improved the input options (“Steam Input”). For example, a bug with the Switch Pro Controller has been fixed.
Innovations are also being incorporated for adding commands and the controller for Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and the Steam Deck.< /p>
