A new Steam client has been released and is being automatically downloaded.

General

• Fixed video content not playing correctly (black screen or corrupt image)
• Fixed an issue with some older games which resulted in a cloud file conflict immediately after installation
• Improved detection and recovery after receiving corrupt file data from a download server

Windows

• Fixed a chat-related crash that could be triggered by malicious users
• Fixed blank screens when running from a folder-mounted partition which does not have a traditional DOS drive letter
• Improved font rendering for Unicode chat text to better match with other platforms

Steam Controller

• Fixed non-Steam Shortcuts displaying incorrect configuration when accessed via the Game Details page
• Added desktop mode Detail View Link to edit Controller Configuration if a controller is connected.
• Added time-stamp to personal configurations in the configuration browser.
• Improved precision of Gyro.
• Fixed a bug with localized Title and Description of official configurations.
• Fixed Select Cursor Position helper screen appearing opaque when used in-game.
• Fixed Analog Trigger range being incorrect.
• Fixed crash that occurred when creating an entirely empty touch menu or radial menu.
• Fixed PS4 Glyphs in Big Picture appearing incorrectly in SteamOS/Linux.
• A copy to the link to the configuration is now automatically copied to clipboard when uploading a community configuration.
• Fixed mouse joystick visualization resetting to default pad rotation when selecting it.
• Fix for pairing controllers sometimes failing to be able to enter their code properly when multiple controllers were attached.

• Changed the time limit before posting a configuration down to 5 minutes.
• Fix for button presses and other inputs leaking through to big picture when using a Guide-Chord combo. This primarily showed up as a Turn Off Controller action resulting in launching a game.

• Fix for Shortcuts to Non-Steam Games whose names were entirely blank or composed of only path unfriendly characters resulting in bad configurations or a crash.
• Fix for conflict between stick and touchpad when using on-screen keyboard with a PS4 controller.
• Made on-screen keyboard exclusive to a single controller, so whichever controller initiated the invocation will be used.
• Fixed autosave behavior not being immediately reflected when leaving/re-entering the configurator when a response from the backend isn't received quickly.
• Fixed saves not showing immediately in the configuration browser.
