You saw nothing :D

What's the new internal resolutions, I was kinda disappointed when 960x540 was the only lower res option (other than the 4:3 ones).

Nice to see Valve continually making the Steam Deck experience better. Sadly my first experience was a bad one, as my unit was defective. On the positive side, thought, Valve support proved to be very efficient, and I'm already waiting for a replacement. :)

@@NoStLinuxGaming That's a shame, sounds like a bad chip got in. At least they're doing their part to rectify it.

@@gamingonlinux Thanks! It was really weird. My Deck had really low performance even in Steam, not speaking of running any games. And then, after every restart, it botted to the tty screen, and I had to re-image it again and again...

Sorry to hear that, hope your next unit is fine!

Side note the game you’re playing looks really cool, I’m going to check out risk of rain 2 now!

jeez are they going to bring any of the cool beta stuff to main releases any time soon? still waiting for variable refresh rates. i was getting ready to switch to the beta channel when i heard you had a black screen from one.

[ 2022-05-20 12:49:59Z ] 👍 0

Honestly I'm on the Beta channel now, have been since an hour after receiving my unit. The fixes are faster and generally stable, and personally I've never had any bad experiences due to Beta. It also sounds like this black screen was temporary, worth a shot(?)

the activity pushed by valve is brilliant gives me hope :)

My temps are going into the 80s with this new fan profile though

[ 2022-05-20 16:49:56Z ] 👍 0

Mine too. I liked the former version much better. Much better performance/warm balance.

[ 2022-05-20 16:30:27Z ] 👍 1

Well any changes they do to make it quieter will up the temps, I’m sure they’re keeping an eye on it and did testing of course.

[ 2022-05-20 12:48:46Z ]👍 1

I've heard some people say their decks are starting to overheat now cause of the new curves with this update. Also with keyboard themes having issues, desktop mode controls acting weird, or even bricking the device sometimes

@@waspennator That's not even overheating or close to it at all

[ 2022-05-20 16:46:09Z ] 👍 0

True. Such a bad update. My Deck is more noisy and warmer now. Can we re roll?

[ 2022-05-20 15:52:45Z ] 👍 0

Try out Elden Ring with this beta update, apparently it went from running at 73° at 30 fps before, all the way to 87° now

Q3 gang sends our thanks for getting this system right for us.

[ 2022-05-20 19:18:17Z ]👍 0

I don't know if that's possible, I think it would a better idea if Valve added an option to let the user change the fan curve manually.

[ 2022-05-20 20:59:13Z ] 👍 0

Yeah I fully expect fan control to appear at some point :)

[ 2022-05-20 20:41:18Z ] 👍 0

Seeing as how Valve is quickly working on these updates and bringing users more and more features with every update. I bet you this will be a feature in the not so far future. Keep them hopes up!

The new update made the trackpads not act like a mouse anymore in desktop mode, I have to use the triggers for lmc & rmc

Definitely after the latest beta update my unit overheats and the performance decreased as the FPS as well.

Okay they released another update which seems to help out quite a lot. Not too warm, not too loud and with good performance 😀 Great job Valve

True. Such a shame

[ 2022-05-21 02:57:11Z ]👍 0

Why they keep decreasing the fan speed, my steam Deck is going to get really hot with heavy games if they keep lowering the fan. I really don't care about the little noise as long as my console is kept cold. Stop complaining about the noise everyone.

@@Shmynkellbonkenstein 100% agree, hope they do that in future update.

[ 2022-05-21 05:36:55Z ] 👍 0

Even better, they should let you choose between 2 or 3 fan curves, ”quiet, standard, performance”, etc
