Nachdem das Update bereits seit einiger Zeit als freiwillige Beta getestet werden konnte, wurde es heute offiziell und für alle veröffentlicht. Der wohl wichtigste neue Feature des Patch ist die Möglichkeit die Steam Cloud entweder komplett oder für einzelne Spiele deaktivieren zu können. Daneben gibt es zahlreiche Bugfixes und auch für den Mac-Client diverse Anpassungen. Der komplette Changelog im Detail:
- Added UI to disable Steam Cloud per-game and per-account.
- Added an icon in list view for uninstalled games that support cloud.
- Steam Cloud will now download files for installed games on logon.
- Fixed Steam Cloud sync failures that occurred because of deleted files.
- Improve text hit testing in chat windows.
- Make player names in chat windows clickable, taking you to that user’s profile.
- Fixed tabs in the settings dialog sometimes not drawing correctly.
- Fixed a regression that prevented steam from automatically validating and repairing damaged game caches on launch.
- Shortened the delay between launching steam and being offered offline mode in the case of no network connectivity.
- Fixes the label under the dropdown on the game properties updates page for non-cloud games.
- Shows the "cloud disabled" icon in list view for games with cloud disabled that are not installed.

- Fixes the login button in the login dialog becoming enabled when the dialog is dragged after the button is pressed.
- Improves whitespace detection in chats.
