Steam stable client gets a 64bit Linux build and an HDR overhaul for Remote Play

Valve has pushed a large Steam client update to the stable channel, and Bambu Lab has announced a programme of local partners for European owners.

Steam stable client brings Linux changes and a new HDR setup

Valve shipped the update on 11 November. Two fixes from the beta we reported last week, windows briefly flashing black and reduced thumbstick touch sensitivity, are now in the stable client, and this build adds a good deal more. Steam Achievement Sets let games group achievements for the base game and for DLC. Completed sets stay completed when a new one is added, and seasonal achievements can be archived.

On Linux, the Steam client is now a 64bit application and runs inside a Steam Runtime container. Valve says this should give a more consistent experience across distributions. The Hardware Compatibility dialog also shows the average framerate players get in a game on Steam Deck.

Remote Play gets what Valve calls a big revamp of HDR support: an advanced HDR setting with Automatic, On and Off, and a brightness slider in the streaming overlay. HDR is enabled again on Steam Deck OLED. It also works on Android phones running Android 15 or newer, but only in the beta Steam Link app. Source: Steam

Bambu Lab opens a European waiting list for Bambu Circle

Bambu Lab will present Bambu Circle at Formnext in Frankfurt am Main, which runs from November 17 to 20. It describes the programme as an authorised network of local partners that Bambu Lab coordinates, trains and certifies. The scope includes local machine servicing, small-scale retail of printers and materials, printing services and training.

The pilot starts in the Netherlands. Bambu Lab cites a survey in which 58% of its Dutch users said they wanted to earn a side income with 3D printing. Germany and France follow in early 2027, and anyone in Europe can already join the waiting list. The company’s stated aim is an authorised partner within a one-hour drive of every user in Europe.

Bambu Lab gives no fees or terms for partners. The same announcement shows the H3C and the R1 laser cutter on its Formnext stand; we covered the H3C when it launched.
