When in Game Mode I keep getting the client update for Dec 3.
It doesn't seem to matter if I update in game mode or in desktop mode. In game mode it acts like it is applying the update, says it will take 20 mins, then says done. If I use the terminal and ujust to run updates everything updates just fine. Steam applies updates in desktop mode as well without issue. I'm not sure why it keeps telling me every few days that I need to apply the Dec 3 steam client update in game mode, but any assistance in getting it to stop would be appreciated.

The update information in game mode is known to be incorrect since itโs offered by Steam rather than the OS
Applies to the estimated remaining time as well, but it does the same thing as updating in desktop mode
Ah okay. Thanks for the info! I figured there was an explanation or fix and I just wasnโt finding it.
as of today, for handhelds the progress bar will work properly
What do i do if im in game mode and have tried desktop mode and it wont apply the update it say its applied then says to restart then when it boots back up it says it needs to apply the same update
See if there are any errors when using the system update in desktop mode.
If you have any layered packages then they might conflict with the update and you need to remove them.
You can check if you have any layered packages with
rpm-ostree status and you can remove them with rpm-ostree reset
Then update after rebooting.
Also the update shown in gamemode can be a steam update (if it applies fast)I am still experiencing this issue
Except the steam deck and if you have layered
I have no external packages layered
Open the hhd updater and check
Oh yeah and I am on Steam Deck, I wonder why itโs the exception here?
Because hhd is not enabled
Getting the same thing on Rog Ally.
In gaming mode > settings > system there is a beta update showing for January 7th. However I'm sure this has already been applied as I switched to desktop mode and verified that is the case.
rpm-ostree output:
Should I rebase back to stable?
Open handheld daemon and check the updates tah
It will probably tell you you layered something
Nope, shows no update available. I haven't layered anything.
What's the problem?
the update notification still persists in gaming mode > settings > system even though I have updated ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I'll check it out maybe a bug slipped in there
I'm on the steam deck beta client channel btw
something also messed up with the os update channel always being grey
