    Does anyone know what the average delay is between a beta update and the update landing in stable?

      I was about to reply here, but got deeper and deeper into the News archives. So I decided to make a new post instead. Link from lemmy ml’s perspective: https://lemmy.ml/post/54090929 or from lemmy ca’s perspective: https://lemmy.ca/post/72437677 I still don’t understand how to link correctly. You can also find the article “Analyzing update intervals of Steam Client (Steam News Hub)” in community !steam@lemmy.ml .

      It really depends on how many bugs their are. But I’d expect it in a couple of months at the most

        This has been in beta-beta for a year at least. I tried using it last year I think.
        It’s also still not quite complete. The reaper binary (which to be fair is a tiny piece of software) still depends on 32bit libraries, so on a 64bit only system you currenrly can’t actually start any games, only use the launcher.
        With some trickery this can be circumvented, I am using steam natively without 32bit libraries, but it’s definitely not nearly done yet.
