A new (BETA) version of Steam client is available for users to try out. To use the Steam BETA client, go to Settings>Account>BETA Participation and select Steam client candidate.

Release notes:

  • Fix incorrect display of error dialog “Steam has found a problem with your local game files” in cases where a server connection could not be made
  • Reload list of content servers more frequently to improve download rate and fix cases of download stopping due to a stale list
  • Fix case where Steam could display 100% loaded prematurely if files were manipulated externally to Steam
  • These fixes should resolve the issue some users are having with Frontlines: Fuel of War claiming to be 100% when not all the files have been downloaded.

To use the Steam BETA client, go to Settings>Account>BETA Participation and select Steam client candidate.
