Summary
SteamOS 0.4 is now live for all Steam Frame users, targeting the headset’s biggest complaints with up to 12% better battery life in both streaming and local gameplay.
Battery gains matter because Steam Frame previously delivered roughly 1 to 1.5 hours of mixed-use runtime after launching last month with both local play and PC or PC VR streaming.
VR streaming also gets better color clarity and a reliability fix for 'Error 17'; users need SteamVR 2.18.2 or later on the beta branch to apply that specific remedy.
Valve also fixed Wireless Adapter issues in some countries, corrected regional Wi-Fi channel lists, and released CAD files plus electrical interface data for non-commercial hardware mods.
