Steam Client Update: July 21st
We have just shipped an updated Steam Client update to the Stable channel.
General
Improved notification settings layout in some languages
Restored the full set of options to the 'Maximum Game Resolution' dropdown. They can be found under the 'More Options' sub-menu.
Fixed a case where the 'Patch Notes' preview box in Settings->System would incorrectly show an event for the wrong channel. E.g. showing Beta Channel notes when the client is opted in to the Stable Channel.
Fixed a crash when manually starting a game recording.
Fixed mouse cursor changing to resize cursor at screen edges.
Fixed a case where the controller pairing screen could pop up during controller firmware updates.
Desktop Mode
Fixed incorrect UI scale being used when in Big Picture Mode.

Show Steam Machine Verified information on the game capsules in home, and on the game details screen.
Added 'Great on Machine' section to the Library

Re-worked system that managed what subscribed items needed to be updated.
Remote Play

Fixed overloading the client video decoder when unlimited bandwidth is enabled

Fixed very low refresh rate on some systems, introduced in the last beta
Steam Input
Steam Controller: The Gyro Calibration Threshold has been set to 50% of the previous value so that it is less likely to trigger while in hand.
Steam Controller: Gyro Calibration threshold is now available in Steam->Settings->Controller->Details->Calibration & Advanced (Open)->Gyro Calibration.
Steam Controller: You can choose to disable hardware calibration and rely on the standard Steam Input Gyro Calibration tools instead, by using the "Enable Software Calibration for Steam Controller" toggle.
Steam Controller: Fixed Gyro stutter due to IMU timestamp being ignored.
Added support for both the wired and wireless versions of the PDP Afterglow Wave Controller for Nintendo Switch.
Added support for Turtle Beach controllers for Nintendo Switch 2.
Steam Controller Firmware
Fixed occasional repeated trackpad samples that caused issues with momentum during trackball mode.
Fixed an issue with unintentionally waking host devices while shutting down the controller.
Fixed an issue with occasional repeated button presses on the B Button.

SteamOS bootable install was a nightmare to get going on my new build! Kept getting frozen screen/green screen/black screen. Then I had to switch hdmi cable to/from mobo & GPU to get it all working. Very odd behavior! I tried with diff usb flash drives. Crazy

No improvement in cloud save — too many times there’s a sync error, and I practically moved all my saves to local because I started losing saves.
