[p]TrueView playback will show the effects of Damage Prediction, if it was enabled by the observed player at the time.[/p][/*]
[p]TrueView does not reconstruct the precise timings of rendered frames, so some differences between the original player's experience and TrueView playback will remain, especially in very slow motion playback. The player's frame at the time when the mouse was clicked, which is used for hit registration, is shown accurately to the nearest demo playback frame. However, reaction effects such as recoil, muzzle flash, blood splatter, and ragdoll are delayed while playing the game by one or two frames due to the way CPU and GPU work is pipelined, and will not appear at the same time during demo playback.[/p][/*]
[p]TrueView demo playback might not work properly on old demos and is disabled by default if the playback client version does not match the client version when the demo was recorded. You can set cl_demo_predict 2 to override this.[/p][/*]

Today we are adding a new feature to Steam Deck, enabling it to complete all active downloads in a new display-off low-power mode, before going to sleep. This feature is enabled by default when Steam Deck is plugged in to power, and can also be enabled on battery power in Settings > Power.
Display-off downloads are accessible in two ways. While Steam Deck is downloading content, pressing the power button now brings up a new dialog, asking whether you'd like to continue downloading with the screen off. Select Continue, and Steam Deck will go into the new low-power download mode. In addition, Steam Deck will automatically go into this mode after an idle timeout.
While in this mode, if you press a button or move Steam Deck, a new status screen will be shown with download progress (see above). From here you can fully wake Steam Deck or let it continue downloading with the screen off.
When this feature is active on battery power, Steam Deck will automatically go to full sleep mode if the battery level falls below 20%.
This feature is now available on Steam Deck in the Beta and Preview channels. Let us know what you think in the comments.
The Steam Client Beta has been updated with the following changes:

Today we've launched a new store feature designed to help you find your next favorite game. The new Steam Personalized Calendar is a look at both recently released and upcoming games, filtered down to the the set of games we think you are most likely to be interested in.
We're launching this feature as a Steam Labs experiment, as we'd like your feedback to help make the best possible version of this tool. Read on for more details, or just check out the Personal Calendar page and see for yourself.
Recommendations based on your playtime
This new calendar finds people with similar playtime profiles to you, and then looks at the games those players have been adding to their wishlist.
Based on games you play a lot: The system is more focused on games that you play the most (relative to other players), and spend most of your playtime in. So, a few minutes trying out a couple of new games or demos won't have much impact on your recommendations, but sinking a bunch of time into a new favorite will.
Refreshed daily: This recommendation system gets re-trained daily to incorporate the latest data. In reality you aren't likely to see your recommendations change all that much from day to day, but as time goes by you will obviously see new things pop up as the 8-week horizon of the calendar marches forward, or as games lock in their release dates.
Upcoming releases: Calendar view
Steam already has lists for upcoming releases, including Popular Upcoming and All Upcoming. However, we've been drawn to the idea of having a visual representation of upcoming releases in calendar form to help understand how far away an exciting new launch is. So this new calendar view takes the list of soon-to-release titles, filters them down to the set that we recommend most for you, and maps them out across time for you to see at-a-glance. You'll find that some days have a bunch of exciting releases for you while others may only have one or none.
Includes your wishlists: The calendar view also includes any game that you have already added to your wishlist, regardless of whether the system recommends it; you've already expressed interest in that game, and you likely want to know when it is coming out.
Weekdays only: We intentionally focus the calendar on weekdays since very few games release on weekends and we wanted as much space as possible to show the games that are planning on releasing. The rare games that do have weekend release dates will show up on the calendar on the following Monday.
Recent releases: Week and month views
For recent releases, we experimented with a few different views and found that it felt less important to map out already released games on a daily calendar view. When we were talking with our friends and colleagues about recent releases, it was usually in the context of something we were playing this week or this month rather than which specific day it came out on.
But, we'd love your feedback. For new releases, are you concerned about which day that game came out on, or just that it is a recent release?
Customization controls
There are a few different options to control what you see on this page.
Filter by tag
Looking for something particular? Use the tag selector. By default, it lists out tags applied to games you've recently played. But you can also type in any valid store tag to narrow down your results.
Adjust the number of results
While working on this page, we tried out a few different thresholds for the number of games to display. Too few results and the calendar is pretty empty; too many and it can be an overwhelming experience. We settled on 100 as providing a good level of information density, but we're curious what you think. You can adjust the picker at the top of the page to see more or fewer titles. As you increase the number of titles shown, the quality of fit for those recommendations will decrease, resulting in more games that are further afield from what you typically play.
Already respects your preferences
This page already filters out games based on choices you've made in your store content preferences, such as Early Access titles, ignored products, ignored tags, and general level of mature content.
Really, we're interested to know whatever feedback you may have about this experiment. Do you find this format of recommendations to be useful? What do you think about this new set of recommendations and calendar view? Are there other things we should include on the calendar? Does it seem to be generating good recommendations for you?
In the pursuit of building a better platform and shopping experience, the Steam Team are continually experimenting with new ideas around discoverability, video, machine learning, and more. Some of these experiments are clear and obvious upgrades to existing features, or are part of products we've already decided to build, and they get built out and released. Other times, we end up with experiments where we feel like we would benefit from more input from Steam users to help inform the direction that we take it, or whether it is even interesting enough to turn into a full feature.
With Steam Labs experiments, you can try, share, and break these potential new features, while we figure out what to keep and what to scrap. Share your feedback with the developers and designers working on these features and help shape the future of Steam.

In-Game Overlay
Fixed a crash in D3D12 games that could sometimes be triggered by opening and closing sections of the overlay (like notes) rapidly. This could manifest as a game or gpu hang, was easier to trigger in some games than others, and was a new regression in this week's public client update and the last beta cycle. We will test this briefly in beta before shipping as a hotfix to all users.
