Every PC I’ve ever used automatically detects and adjusts resolution to the display you connect to it. Even Nintendo Switch will detect when it’s docked and automatically adjust the display resolution. But on Steam Deck you literally have to adjust the display resolution for every game, every time you switch displays....

In gaming mode on the Steam Deck the CPU is presented to the games as having 8 cores instead of 4 cores with 8 threads. This seems to increase performance for some titles....

On update 3.5 of Steam OS, there was a call out about being able to customize the overlay by editing the ~/.config/MangoHud/preset.conf....

If you are like me you want to be able to adjust your logitec/steelseries/asus (among other) mouse settings within the deck itself while in desktop mode....

Having issues when opening some flatpaks (I think only X11) in Desktop Mode, controller input stops working, I can only use touch screen. Controller starts to work after I triggers Controller Settings in Steam(still in Desktop Mode)....

I know this might be a bit of a long shot, but I figured I would give it a go;...

Hey, so I’m really struggling to play Cyberpunk 2077 on the deck. The text is near illegible on its screen. When docked into a 4k TV the resolution is so poor that it’s just not fun. Anyone have it running well? It’s the only AAA game I have on the deck, I mainly play Terraria /Dave the Diver type games which work...

I’m interested in buying a Steam Deck purely to run FOSS games, e.g. OpenTTD, 0ad, Minetest, Torcs etc....

Title, and thanks.

I played about 4 hours and 15 minutes tonight while plugged in the whole time and it ran pretty great. I had FSR 2.1 on and ran most settings at Medium with a couple low like the Vehicle and People on the Street Density on Low. I switched the Textures from Medium to High for the last 20 minutes or so and I saw a minimal change...

Hopefully this is the right place to post this, if not let me know

I swapped my 64GB out for a 1TB immediately after opening mine. Everything works…except the left shoulder button. It often doesn’t click when pressed and even when it does register in game as a button press, its very smushy feeling. A quick search online suggests its a very common problem....

Hey SteamDeck’ers, As we’re all aware that Valve broke Remote Play on SteamDeck and hasn’t fixed it yet. I’m seeing lots of people having their sound cut off few minutes into streaming, or having lots of ghost input with bluetooth controllers....

I’ve always been somewhat disappointed with the responsiveness and tactile feel of the steam/menu buttons beneath the track pads. Is anyone out there selling clickier replacements for these?

Has anyone else ran across this? Every time I close a game and try to go back to the home page, I just get a blank, black screen. It’s still on, and I can move the mouse cursor and see it, but everything else is basically frozen. No steam menu or system menu will pop up, only the cursor.

After I finish up Jedi Survivor, and play Starfield on my vacation next month, I plan to sell my gaming laptop and move over to Deck only. I have a 2TB ssd in the Deck for Steam OS, and a 2TB ssd in my jsaux dock, where I’ll install an OS for general computing. I had planned to install Windows, since I use a few bits of...

Just got done installing the new shell from JSAUX! Had some pains to go through that I want to let you folks know about....

I’ve been streaming games from my big boy PC to the deck for a few weeks now. Everything so far had streamed pretty well, but streaming Ratchet and Clank, it just runs like ass? It runs perfectly fine on the PC when not streaming. I stream Miles Morales and it plays great, so I’m not sure what it is and looking to see if...

A few reports over the past month on Reddit (www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/…/jq251yj/ and reddit.com/…/psa_elecgear_hall_effect_sticks_are_…) indicate that ElecGear does not suffer the infamous outer dead zone issue featured in e.g. GuliKit V1 and V2. On the corresponding Amazon page ElecGear also advertise that...

I was wondering how well it is because I’ve read online that Linux support for Xenia was extremely unstable and even CI/CD says “failure” on the README, so I was curious if you can even compile it, and if you can, exactly how bad it actually is

Wondering if there are any recommendations for city-builders on the steam deck. Preferably with a realistic 3d style. I’m not fond of 2d games or cartoon graphics for these kind of games. Also war shouldn’t be the biggest focus. I prefer a more relaxed game. Really would like to find one which people can recommend for the...

I had 6 hours of trouble last night and thought I’d share this information with you as many people will be doing the same. So here’s the story:...
