Steamdeck will absolutely not load games ive tried hard restarts. I verified integrity of tool files, switched between beta and stable update channels. Stable and experimental compatibility tool. Ive also tried launching games from my desktop, and even when I try to go to a game and delete the Proton files it gives me no visual clue that anything happened. While running a diagnostic it says sniper runtime container is not installed but when I search for it, it is installed and it wont let me uninstall it. Its like the entire system is locked up.

Im just so tired of this thing at this point im just considering factory resetting it, but i would live to hear any suggestions on how to fix it.

I don't have a steam deck, but I'd like to own one in the future. Imagine my surprise when I found this case for $3.99. I had no idea it was limited edition when I picked it up and only available as part of a bundle. What do y'all think it is worth? I can't find listings for the case by itself to compare, just used bundles.

The only damage is one zipper pull is missing, and the other had teeth marks on the plastic. I think I'm just gonna use some orange paracord to make some diy zipper pulls that match.

I should have checked and seen if they had the steam deck somewhere. It completely slipped my mind. I was several hours from home and keep telling myself that it was likely put into the display case and scooped up immediately, so I didn't miss out by not looking.

So I've been looking up weather or not the deck has local wireless multiplayer like Nintendo handhelds. The answer is no unless you set up a hotspot.

But now I'm wondering if the deck can set up a hot spot itself. This is a feature for Windows, even with a tower PC. So I can see this as a way to make local multiplayer like what a bunch of devs want.

Im playing cyberpunk 2077 with mods and i got some cars like the Ferrari F40 LB-WORKS (Garage), let there be flight, spinner(blade runner), some costume for female v (mecha v2.0) and some guns like the aks pack but i noticed on gameplay whenever i looked at my modded veichles, such as the f40 it goes from 30 to 12 fps and then when i go out of the zone and dont see the car it goes 30 again. I wanted to know rhis because ive been tinkwring for a while now and nothing seems to work. Im using proton experimental

Out of curiosity, has anyone been playing Stalker 2 on their Steam Deck lately? I have the OLED TV, but I've heard it's only playable on low settings and runs at 30 FPS.

Hi!

I've had a steamdeck oled 512gb for 2 years with no hardware modification.

I've noticed the battery draining by 1% per hour while on sleep mode without any game running. And I dont remember the battery draining that fast before.

I have the latest stable steamos update installed.

The battery is basically draining as fast in sleep mode as if I was having a game running (like Trails on the sky 2nd chapter that I play nowadays).

Does that sound ok to you ?

How can I check battery health? Do I need to recalibrate ?

Thanks for the help !

I don't know what the hell happened! Everything used to work fine, but when I went to boot up Cleopatra Fortune Plus, nothing would boot. Or at the least, each game (toyfight, jambo, wldrider, ausfache, cleoftp) would only boot once and never again unless I exit out of ES-DE, and sometimes that doesn't even work. Toy Fighter doesn't even get past the bios screen.

Again, everything was fine a few days ago.

Basically, my eero router doesn't have 2.4ghz and 5 ghz split option, is there any way to force 5ghz or can be implemented. On windows, i disable 2.4ghz at advanced setting, on steam deck, i can't find one and didn't find on google too.

I don't care about latency but speed is the priority. Even on my lg tv, it automatically splits. If we can have a simple toggle or something. Router is in adjacent room but its a flat share and it's a simple toggle solution for which I don't need to invest in meshes. My legion go s on steam os is terminally stuck on 2.4ghz and slow downloads. Thank you.

Let me give a little bit of context. I was setting up some other software on the deck and had finished and wanted to use the lossless scaling with the game. I went to hit the "copy launch option" but instead hit the "uninstall lsfg-vk". After, I hit the "install lsfg-vk" right after out of panic. Now when I use lossless scaling in mailbox mode, with the configuration setting off, I get 200+ frames on the counter in the top left. With it on the frames go to 500+. Now to be fair it looks smooth and like it's doing something when I turn it on. When I switch to Fifo mode and put the setting off, the frame counter goes to what the game's actually running at. Let's say 50 FPS for example. With it on and in Fifo mode it stays at that 50 and doesn't look like it's doing anything. How do I fix this or did I just mess something up big time. Please help.

I also have tried uninstalling and reinstalling lossless scaling, the plugin, decky loader entirely and nothing has seemed to have worked. If I have to factory reset my deck I will but I'd like that to be a last option since I have a lot of things on my deck that'd be painstaking to get back.

Hi all, bought a steamdeck recently and up on the dpad was not working at all but the other buttons do. I’ve tried unplugging and replugging, cleaning the contacts with iso, as well as taking the plastic off and pushing hard on the rubber to input but alas, nothing. Anyways I just need to find the part at this point methinks. Thanks!

Has anyone experienced trouble getting this port on the deck? I’ve gotten as far as the Sony and Santa Monica Studio’s logos appearing but then the game completely crashes. Please help.

Minecraft dungeons II opens fine but its stuck signing in, any help?

Hello all,
I’m running into an issue when trying to open EmuDeck app on desktop mode. It’s giving me this error…. Any help will be much appreciated!

I have a LCD steam deck that after the Oct 13th update anytime I turn it on none of the buttons work (face buttons, triggers, bumpers, joysticks, touchpads), in order to get them to work I have to hit the “steam” button or “…” button then they come to life.

I have tried rolling steamos back to previous version, uninstalling protondb, decky loader, holding vol -, “…”, and power, factory reseting it, switching to beta, uninstalling recently installed games, unpairing and turning off Bluetooth, pretty much everything I can except wiping and reinstalling steamos,

Any ideas? I found a post from over a year ago, but no solutions.

Other games are working fine.
Guess it serves me right for messing with HelixSR.

I was using the new Game Glance plugin but a recent steam update (I think? it just kinda popped up when I came back from desktop mode) add these to the controller and settings icon. I don't want the music and it causes overlapping issues with Game Glance. Any idea how to get rid of these icons?

As of this Friday afternoon, they pushed out an update for a black screen issue for high refresh rate monitors but it also seemed to fix the stuttering issues. I'm running the game at 1080p and getting a very steady 60fps. Occasional dips but MUCH better. Default resolution should run a solid 60 with no dips

So, this has taken almost a year to (maybe) figure out. At first the idea it could be steam deck related never crossed my mind but now I'm becoming convinced it must be. I've got a decent gaming PC, 3090 GPU, runs games well. I've got two monitors, one 2k 165hz monitor and a vertical monitor 1080p just for discord. In the last two years I've played my steam deck a lot more, I've started playing games on both PC and the deck depending what mood I'm in or who I'm with.

I've noticed that almost every game I've played on both devices, it causes my PC to black screen my second monitor, before black screening my main monitor.

This is how it would go:

- Start game

- Play for 10 minutes

- Second monitor begins black screening for under a second, just a blink every now and then.

- this continues for 20/30 minutes but gradually becoming more frequent. (this wasn't an issue as it's just discord)

- main screen starts black screening now, still under a second but makes some competitive games unplayable

Worth noting before I get into it that I did a full PC reset after discovering this issue and with only steam and some of the affected games downloaded, the issue still occurred/is occurring.

So, this started happening on 'GOALS', I initially started playing this on deck but moved to PC. Made the game unplayable due to black screening at important points. No issues on steam deck, just PC. This happened for a few other games I played on steam deck but moved to PC, more recently Minecraft dungeons, even though I never 'played' it as such, I just loaded it up. Finally I've started playing Diablo 4 on steam deck and PC, 3 years after I stopped playing it with no issues, and now the PC version is having these same problems. I don't believe it's a performance issue as my PC comfortably runs these games. I've been playing Wardogs on PC recently which isn't supported for deck, Wardogs is a much more demanding game that GOALS for example but I haven't played tried playing Wardogs on deck...

I'm curious to hear anyone's thoughts as I'm honestly out of ideas how to fix this. My resolutions are correct for each device and I can't find anything online relating to this.

Thanks in advance.

If I ignore it it'll just go away right?

I want to use steam remote play and while I always had issues and never got it to work right, now it doesn’t work at all and a few seconds after loading up a game it freezes, the red connection symbol pops up and I even manually close remote play.

How do I make steam remote play work?

In advance: I cannot install anything in desktop mode because I don’t know my admin password but that’s a problem for another day.

Yesterday, my game crashed while I was playing. Since then, I haven't been able to load any saves without the game crashing again.

My saves work fine on PC. On Steam Deck, starting a new game works perfectly, but loading any existing save causes a crash.

I've already tried reinstalling the game, switching Proton versions, and creating a fresh compatdata folder, but nothing helped.

Has anyone experienced this or found a fix?

Trying to play Kirby’s epic yarn, but I got to a point where I need to tilt the wiimote like a steering wheel to control something. The game is assuming the wiimote is being played sideways, but I have no idea how to configure the gyro to emulate this. Any suggestions?

I am a complete newbie when it comes to upscalers, so apologies for the question.
Today I decided to try HelixSR, it installs, it finds my games and proposes to use its Optiscaler version (the one that was released today) + dlss suggesting to then pick dlss in the game menu.
I have tried both Spider-man and No rest for the wicked but do not find any dlss option in those games.
Shall I instead pick FSR 3.15 in game? Or re-run HelixSR and pick FSR method instead of DLSS and then choose FSR in-game? How can I verify that HelixSR is indeed active and it is upscaling a game?
Sorry for the questions but I am very confused… thanks in advance
