Why all of a sudden am I getting crazy FPS drops? I’m 30 hours into FF7 Remake and never had any issues. Now, every 5 minutes, I’m getting crazy FPS drops.

I really enjoyed playing this game at the office, even if my work wifi isn't the best.

Game just came out, tested for an hour and seem like run kinda exactly like the extended demo. On default (Low setting with no Frame Gen) it run around 40-50FPS.

With Frame Gen FSR it cap at 60FPS (can go higher but I capped it), but I do see a small input lag which ruined my Issen timing a lot (or because I'm suck lol), so I turned it off and cap at 40FPS/Hz and the input lag gone, easier to timing Issen. So far there is no crash and little to no FPS drop.

It got the Playable badge but yet run better than some "Verified" titles

Yeah, playing games from 20 years ago is hardly an achievement. I’m purely fascinated with how little power the GPU needs to play MGS4.

The game was largely touted/considered a technological marvel for consoles at the time. Seeing it run so flawlessly on modern, low end hardware? I find that amazing.

Some context: this is a 1TB OLED model that I got brand new earlier in the year. Only a few hours into use it had to be RMA’d in April due to being completely unresponsive (couldn’t even access BIOS or recovery image). Valve replaced the motherboard and sent it back to me and it was working fine until this week.

Now I get freezing every 1-2hrs, followed by these “prison” bars and a slow fade to black from right to left. Happens both in and out of games. Tried BIOS reset, didn’t work. Only fix is to shut down and reboot until it happens again. I haven’t made any mods to this deck and only use the official PSU.

I rolled back to a previous OS and it seems to happen way less frequently.

My original theory was a bad display connector, but if that’s the case surely rolling back wouldn’t help? Can this sort of thing happen due to corrupt OS files? It would be a shame to have to RMA it twice considering it’s supposed to be a brand new deck.

Is it okay if i leave my steam deck charging over night to download games? i just bought it and it’s currently pretty late but i want to wake up to downloaded games

I know it's kind of trite as a comparison, but I can't really decide where to buy the game. I've seen some videos that would put the Switch on top, but considering what can be done on Deck with LSFG and tinkering with the graphic settings...

There's also the fact that sd cards for the Switch are very expensive right now, and I don't really want to buy too much stuff on it as it would mean filling it up pretty quickly.

Anyone has any insight about it?

OG Fortnite possible with EZFN community servers! but as theyre just seemngly getting started here there isn't many people yet!

Photo might look silly but just wanted to show appreciation for steamdeck and mechanism. I had to get surgery on my ankle and I will be down for about 4 weeks. Using the steam deck to stream my PC through moonlight/apollo has been unreal in times like these. Just to be able to have a set up to play my games while recovering is such a boost to my mental health. I love that mechanism has some of their mounts available for 3d printing since I broke my last attachment on accident.

Really enjoying dragons dogma now that it got those performance touch ups. Really excited for the DLC coming out soon. Plan to play this until onimusha comes out tomorrow! But yeah I just wanted to make a little post about the set up and how awesome its been for me!

If anyone wants a little set up for laying on the couch, or maybe even in bed gaming check out Mechanism and check out getting a floor tablet stand. I got mine from Amazon for $35, also it has a 8 pound base so nothing should tip over in my use case. I had to order a jsaux case adapter and ball joint mount from mechanism. Using a controller connected via Bluetooth also.

I bought my 8 year old son a SteamDeck a few years ago. I have become very good at finding games and installing them from different sites for games steam does not offer.

On the days he is with his mother, I long to tell him

"I love you and goodnight"

Is there a way I can message him through my steam app i have on my android phone to his SteamDeck?

So I again need some new game recommendations. Most of my wishlisted games are not out yet.

I want a high quality game (preferably indie) with a good story that ist not slow pace. between 10-20 hours of gameplay.

• ⁠Previously Enjoyed Games: Both Ori games, Kingdom Come Deliverance (saving the second game for when I have a lot of time), Hollow Knight and Silksong, The last Gasstation, Windrose, God of War, Stardew Valley, Binding of Isaac, Dave the Diver, Firewatch
• ⁠Preferred Genres: I am open for all kind of games. I no not like shooter, online games, jrpgs and difficult games
• ⁠Budget: About 5-20€
• ⁠Other Notes: games I did not enjoy are subnautica, medieval dynasty and palworld

Hi guys been trying to figure out which button is that on the first picture

The one with the circle and upside down triangle

Edit: Thank guys, working today but I purposely bought my Steamdeck will try it out at lunch.

Some comments at hilarious please read them it made my day. Thanks!!!

Mine looks like this :)

I was playing Rogue Trader exclusively docked and it actually was running well! Now I'm on act 2 and there's crazy stuttering and lag even in the character menu; tried turning down the resolution which helped briefly but it's back to stuttering.

Any tips on fixes?

For the life of me I can not figure how to map this controller, been trying to play zelda ocarina of time on emudeck and the controllers are driving me crazy can someone please point me into the right direction or help a brother out please, thank you!

im from Colombia, i’ve had my steam deck for four years now, and i’m wondering whether it needs regular maintenance like a desktop computer or console—opening it up to clean it, checking or replacing any components, changing the thermal paste (i don’t think that’s necessary, but just as an example), etc.

i really want my steam deck to last as long as possible, so i’d like to take good care of it. i don’t use it too heavily: over the past four years, i’ve used it for one or two hours a day, around two or three times a week.

i replaced the internal storage myself, which brings me to another important point: i don’t think many people in my city own a steam deck, much less that there are technicians who know how to work on one. would you recommend doing any maintenance myself, or could i take it to a technician who isn’t familiar with the steam deck but has enough general knowledge to know what to do?

I have video of it disappearing after booting should I be worried or is it a steam thing since it only shows up after the steam logo loads in the system trey

I stream from my gaming rig to my deck which in turn is connected to my 4k TV (LG C3 OLED). Nothing going over wifi, everything is wired directly to the router. If the game is running at 4k on my rig, is the resolution being output to my TV also 4k or will it be whatever the max output setting is on the deck?

How do I get this game to run on my steam deck it has 2 .exe files that need to run at the same time for it to work and i just don't know how to do it plz help

.. if you have a Steam Deck with games installed on an SD card, and a Steam Machine

You can plug the SD card into the Steam Machine and run those games without having to reinstall them

I already had cards with 2 x 512Gb and 1 x 256Gb so, my 512Gb Steam Machine has effectively got a total of 1.75Tb storage

I know the cards read and write slower but I just install any games locally when that's an issue
