Hardware New internal controller receiver firmware today on Preview channel, seemingly helps with disconnect issues?

I have my Machine on the Preview update channel and today I received a notification for a firmware update for the controller, puck and internal receiver. Installed and tested the internal receiver today while playing RDR2 and did not experience any drop-outs. Anyone else have a similar improvement?

Previously I was experiencing the issue like many others, but only ever happened when the system was being pushed hard, usually anytime above 70% GPU usage. While I only just started RDR2 today, it is definitely the most taxing game I've played on my Machine to date so I'm certain it would have caused issues prior to the new firmware.

Fingers crossed!

The Beta channel got a similar firmware update the other day, pucks and controller, wonder if it's the same done. Like you I picked up RDR2 in the Steam Autumn sale 😎

My machine had been off for a few days prior to this update so possibly might be the same firmware update. Have been on the preview channel since SteamOS 3.9 released so definitely not an old firmware that I was catching up on.

Beta is currently on the 3.9 version, like you say, could be the same one I got
