The new Steam Deck Beta Client update fixes up screnenshots, Gamecube controllers, and more!

This also fixes an error when launching some games, which was a nasty bug I believe I ran into on the previous beta.

“Fixed screenshots not including Steam user interface elements.” WTF? I thought that was a feature, not a bug. One of the things that really bugged me about screenshots on the Deck was Steam interface appearing on screenshots. I don’t wanna have message notifications or whatnot appearing in my screenshots.

And here I thought they had finally fixed that.

So according to context from a different article, that was intentional to remove the UI elements but people complained. They’ve added a toggle in settings now where you can choose whether to include steamui or exclude it from screenshots.

Uh, not like I can think of any use case for having the UI show up, but if some people want it a toggle is perfect. I am happy and everyone is happy.

Biggest reason is to show stuff like mangohud so that you can show a game’s performance. Very useful for troubleshooting performance issues.

I didn’t think of that, TIL
