[Bug Report:] Steamdeck OS on Desktop Mode won't set to beta even if device is opted in:

Open Nulled-Out opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Your system information

  • Steam client version: SteamDeck in dev mode (Beta Build)
  • SteamOS version: 3.0
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: [No - This is what I want to do]
  • Opted into SteamOS beta?: [Yes]
  • Have you checked for updates in Settings > System?: [Yes - There are none atm]

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

So while opted into OS Beta, I tried to check the desktop mode client. All other settings carry over except for Beta. Trying to opt-in simply get turned back after closing and opening the desktop client. And if I try to check for updates instead of restarting it just reverts after installing :/

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Set up SteamDeck & Opt into Beta.
  2. Switch to Desktop Mode and verify that the other settings have carried over.
  3. Try to opt-into the Desktop Client [PAL] beta & restart the desktop app when asked.

I suppose if there were a config file or command to run 🤔

Potentially done as of latest preview builds, saw it as on option in both Steam Launcher & UI Settings temporarily

Waiting to see if it can come back or if OS, Firmware, and launcher software are all lumped into the most unstable preview ring.
