14 DAY TRIAL // A new small Beta update has been issued by Valve for its Steam client, this time featuring a single modification of the software.
Between stable builds, the developers launch a large number of Beta versions that integrate a lot of new features. In the case of this particular update, the developers chose to only fix a single issue, which seems to be important enough to warrant an entire release.
“Fixed a regression which let the main Big Picture window keep running at full frame rate while a game was active in some cases. The main window is now correctly throttled to just a few FPS and work is minimized in all cases that a game has focus,” reads the official website.
Even if this seems like a minor update, if you have encountered this problem with the stable release you should try the Beta update.
More details about this latest build and the bug that has been fixed can be found in the official announcement. You can download the Steam for Linux installer from Softpedia.
Keep in mind that this is a Beta version and you might experience some problems with it. In order to get it, you have to enroll in the Beta program, from Preferences.
