Steam updates don't seem to apply
I'm running Bazzite Deck version on an HTCP. I just installed it a few days ago, rebasing from Kinonite since it wouldn't install with the Bazzite image.
My issue is that Steam updates don't seem to stick. Settings > System says that the build date of Steam is 12/7. I'll get a notification that there's a Steam update, I'll apply it, then upon rebooting the settings screen still says I'm on the 12/7 Steam build. Applying Steam updates on desktop mode doesn't seem to help either.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

We aren't able to change the changelog, those are both steam and system updates.

Ah, okay. So it's actually updating something different every time?
yup
Cool, thanks. I feel better then.
you will probably get an update nearly daily. update at your own convenience.
Is there a reason it doesn't say I'm running the latest Steam build?
like do you mean the changelog always appearing or something else?
Settings > System > Steam Client Build Date
It says I'm on the 12/7 build.
i think thats the latest stable steam client build, no?
12/11 is the latest: https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/3902995340337505818

The changelog mentioned this version too.
oh thats interesting. my deck runs SteamOS, got the stock 64GB steam deck still so no bazzite 😔, but my client build says it's also Dec 7
let me check for updates to confirm though
yeah theres no new update
idk if thats a bug on their end or the steam deck client is its own thing that gets different updates
Okay, just checked my Deck running stock Steam OS too. It says 12/7, and when I check for updates manually it errors out.
Looks like something weird on Steam's side.
wouldnt surprise me lol. at least it's not exclusive to bazzite
Yeah, must have just been weird timing with when I installed Bazzite. I thought something was borked when I rebased.
I'm loving it so far though.
thats great! hey btw if you ever wanted to update in the terminal manually to make sure everything is actually updating, it most certainly is though bazzite just cant have the progress indicator accurate on steam
Maybe one day soon I'll actually play a game on it instead of tinkering with it.
enter
ublue-update in the terminal and you can see a log when it finishes and what got upgraded
ofc thats not exactly convenient but if you were ever curious. thats the same command that happens in game mode, but like i said Steam won't report the progress accurately and changelog will always be for SteamOSGotcha. That's helpful, thanks.
@nickname @Evening Newbs sometimes steam rolls out updates a bit later for some people.
they can announce and update but it might take a week before everybody is actually on the newest update. 🙂
better to break the client for only 10-20% of your customers instead of 100% if some unforeseen bug happens, right? 😛
I did not know that. Thanks for letting us know
