SteamOS 3.5.12 Preview – WiFi Fix and New Controller Support

A new SteamOS Preview update was released a couple of days ago that fixed some crashes and added support for a new controller!

The Steam Deck has been getting a consistent stream of updates ever since it was released, thanks to Valve’s excellent support, and a couple of days ago, we had a new update for SteamOS that hit the preview branch. The biggest part of this update, for me, is the WiFi crash being fixed where certain bands would cause a driver crash. We also support the HyperX Clutch Gladiate controllers, and a system restart was fixed when Joy-Cons were connected.

SteamOS 3.5.12 Preview Update Changelog:

General

  • Added support for the HyperX Clutch Gladiate controllers
  • Fixed a system restart when Joy-Con controllers are connected
  • Fixed a WiFi crash occurring where certain bands would cause the driver to attempt to set an incorrect spatial stream count

    Never heard of those HyperX controllers and I’m sure most people haven’t either. I’d rather they add support for the Atari VCS Classic and Modern controllers.

      I totally support getting all types of controllers in, but I do agree that I’d love for more diverse and popular controllers to come first.
