Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The June 5 notice investigates a startup crash before the intro video associated with the Steam Beta client. Its affected client version is 1780620638; this is a historical, specific workaround rather than proof that the current stable client has that issue. [2]

The notice identifies Steam version 1780620638 as the affected Beta client under investigation. [2]
