"Known problems include tearing and poor overlay performance in-game," he added, before asking for user feedback.
The update also fixes the "Steam controller firmware upgrade process". SteamOS is Valve's new Linux-based operating system, which is available to download now for free in early beta form.
Valve confirmed 14 third-party Steam Machines at the CES expo in Las Vegas on Monday, with hardware pictures, specs and pricing details for all but two of them.
On the PC side, Valve launched Steam Family options for all users of the digital distribution service on Wednesday. Steam Family options afford users the ability to "limit an account's access to a subset of its content and features", whether it be your own account or your child's.
