Steam client update adds Xbox controller configuration
Many of you who are Steam users probably know what was included in the latest update, but there are many who just accept the client update, relaunch Steam and move along without reading the patch notes. This is for them, mainly.
Before, when a user want installation folder, users had to search for the game folder in their Steam library, make a copy, and manually move the files to a new location. It wasn’t rocket science, but it wasn’t smooth as silk either.
With the new client update, all users have to do is click on the game in their library, right click it, select properties, click the local files tab, choose the move install folder option and then the destination folder.
Some Steam users are reporting the Move Installation Folder option isn’t available to them, despite applying the update. Users who have opted-in for Steam client betas are reporting it as well. It’s possible the option is a slowly being rolled out. My client doesn’t have the option available yet either.
The update also added Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Generic X-Input controller configuration support, which was made available in beta earlier this month.
It also added additional support for third party PS4 controllers and fight sticks.
