  • Fixed issues when installing games onto filesystems, such as ZFS, that report abnormally large sector sizes.

Controller
  • Added Steam Configurator support for PS4 Dual Shock Controller. Enable in Big Picture settings Add/Test Controller settings. When enabled, PS4 controllers will have access to the same sort of customization/configuration support as Steam Controllers, including native API support. PS4 Controllers using this system can map the trackpad, gyro, buttons, etc. to keyboard, mouse, or x-input outputs and can make use of action sets, touch menus, radial menus, and so forth.
  • Added software gyro+accelerometer integration for IMUs without hardware integration. Allows Joystick-Move/D-Pad/Mouse Leaning support for the PS4 gyro input.
  • Added New Mode – Joystick Mouse. This is a joystick based mouse control useful for stick based controllers.

  • Changed mode shift button activators to be uninterruptible by default.
  • Changed Mouse mode Gyro Enable Button to default to Always On when placed on a PS4 Controller.
  • Changed Joystick Mouse to default to Wide Response.
  • Configuration Browser can now be toggled to show all available controller types rather than the default of the in-use controller type.
  • Configurations can now be marked as “Unique” to a specific controller. This configuration will only be applied to that controller for that user's account. By default, all controllers of a specific type will share a configuration unless marked as Unique.
  • Fixed a bug where rumble would send to the incorrect controller and could cause controllers to control the incorrect player.
  • Fixed default settings not applying properly to mode shifted modes, which could cause certain parameters to be incorrect by default on mode-shifts.
  • SteamOS users should update to the latest version of SteamOS, as described here.
  • Linux users should consider upgrading your udev rules to allow Steam access to /dev/hidraw* , as described here.

Client Update - Valve
(Updated August 23: The client has been re-released with additional fixes for minor issues caused by the previous update.)

A new Steam client has been released and is being automatically downloaded. Changes since the last major release include the following:

Mac OS X / macOS
  • The Steam application has been reworked for better compatibility with macOS Sierra. This may result in an older copy of the Steam application being placed in your Trash. It is safe to delete the older copy by emptying the trash.

Linux
  • Fixed handling of clickable URLs in chat text for the desktop Steam client

General
  • Fixed a crash when games passed certain parameters to the Steamworks API
  • Added button to clear local cache under download settings. This may fix downloads by removing stale or corrupt cached data.
  • Added UI text to indicate if a selected title is excluded from Family Sharing
  • Worked around a problem where a recent Windows 10 update could cause Xbox One controllers to send duplicate input
  • Fixed cases where playing a free game could trigger Family Sharing error messages

In-Home Streaming
  • Added support for spectating VR games from the Steam Link, mirroring the VR player's viewpoint

Steam Controller
  • Added "Set Cursor Position" binding controller action. This allows an arbitrary X/Y position to be moved to on a button press and optionally warp back to the original position on release. When combined with a click via either multi-binding or an additional activator, allows for on-screen UI to be bound to buttons even if they have no hotkey. Multiple Set Cursor Position inputs can be multi-bound to a single button allowing cursor position binding cycling.
  • Scroll wheel Mode on Joystick now ignores the joystick returning to the center position when doing horizontal/vertical scrolling. This allows for bindings to be cycled through scroll wheel on left/right or up/down taps.
  • Added Gyro Button Behavior setting. Allows for the Gyro Enable Button to be flipped to be a Gyro Disable Button, so gyro is disabled while the specified button is held, but otherwise on all the time.
  • Fixed broken configurations where modes could be attached to sources that don’t support them which caused errors in both the UI and in behavior.
  • Fixed issues with Double Press activator not working in certain games.
  • Fixed Interruptible activators not interrupting in a few specific scenarios.
  • Fixed haptic location not always being updated properly with activators.
  • Changed new full press activators to use the mode's current haptic setting as a default setting on the new activator.
  • Fixed activator-based haptics on specfic switch buttons to be correct based on physical position on the controller.
  • Fixed a bug when turning off legacy mode while editing Triggers.
  • Fixed incorrect modes being created when a developer is creating a new native configuration.
  • Fixed configurator option not showing up if game was VR capable and had VR controller support but also had non-VR and normal controller support.
  • Fixed adding action sets to fully legacy configs in games that have native configs. Now legacy action set configs and native configs won't stomp each other.
  • Fixed mode-shifted mouse regions flipping their initial Y position if "teleport on start" was set that was introduced with recent set cursor position additions.
  • Cleaned up the Choose Binding panel to improve legibility.
  • Added icons for Controller Actions such as Change Action Set, Take Screenshot, Move Cursor, and Show On Screen Keyboard.
  • Fixed the backslash character '\' not showing up on keyboard layouts.
  • Added RB/LB buttons to change current action set when editing a configuration.
  • Fixed gamepad binding highlights being offset in certain overlay resolutions
  • Fixed issues that prevented Streaming gyro from functioning properly.

UPDATED 2016-08-02: This update was re-released for Windows users with a change to improve compatibility with Windows 10.

UPDATED 2016-07-07: A minor patch was released to fix a crash in some Virtual Reality applications

General
  • Fixed rare client hang when downloading additional game content
  • Fixed a bug that could cause cloud sync to break when an application is permitted to use over 2GB of cloud storage
  • Fixed an issue where video series could appear improperly in the Recently Played jump list
  • Fixed compatibility issues with some upcoming Vulkan games

Library
  • Videos that are part of a Series (e.g. CS:GO Player Profiles, PAYDAY Web Series, etc.) will automatically be categorized together in the Video Library.

In-Home Streaming

Steam Controller
  • Added support for Controller Activators
  • Activators sit between inputs (like a button) and outputs (like a keypress) and allow for a variety of new behaviors and functionality
  • Current activators include Normal Press, Long Press, Double Press, Start Press, Release Press, etc.
  • Activators have their own settings, so they can each have haptics, delays, toggles, cycle bindings, turbo, etc.
  • There is no limit to the number of activators on an input, so a single button can have a normal press, a double press, multiple long presses of different durations, etc. each of which execute independently and fire off their own bindings with their own settings.
  • Mode shifts are also activator based, so mode shifts can now toggle or have special functionality like only on Long Press.
  • Internal file format has been reorganized due to these changes, so new configurations are not backwards compatible. Any changes made to an existing configuration will not work in previous builds
  • All existing configurations are converted into the new format and carry over the appropriate settings and bindings
  • Added the ability to copy and existing Action Set into a new Action Set when creating one. You now have a dropdown of all existing action sets to copy from on create.

  • Gyro optimizations which in certain cases reduce latency.
  • Fixed footer showing toggle game actions button when using action sets on legacy configurations.
  • Fixed Action Sets being visible and selectable at the top of the UI while in binding/activator editing modes.
  • Fixed Gyro Mode Button being visible and selectable while editing other modes.
  • Fixed Footer not appearing in the desktop configurator.
  • Fixed Controller Beep potentially browning out in low battery situations.
  • Fix for register controller dialog only showing up in the main Steam window and not the overlay if you turn on a new controller while in-game.
  • Added a "None" option for trackball and scrollwheel friction. Essentially this makes it continue its momentum forever.
  • Added a Custom Curve option for Joystick and Trigger Response Curves. Allows the stick/trigger response to be tuned to a higher degree.
  • Added Curve Visualization for Joystick and Trigger response Curves.
  • Fixed activators not showing up properly within mode shifts.
  • Fix for haptic settings not being inherited properly when converting previous format to new format.
  • Changed default Regular Press haptic setting to off by default.
  • Fixed activators not going back to advanced mode properties when cancelled within an advanced mode property binding.
  • Fix for multiple activators with multiple descriptions on a single input not appearing properly in the UI.
  • Fixed an issue where switch bindings (bumpers, start/back, etc) would not work properly in some configurations
