Ha! I was just looking for this deature yesterday.

Do you recommend the beta or should i just wait?

@@MarvinRock787 even if you're a power user it may be better to stay on stable. I've been on beta from the start and have been using Linux for a good decade but the recent beta did something that randomly shuts off the controller. I have no real way to diagnose something like this so my only option was to go back to stable. I should check if that's fixed though

[ 2022-11-08 12:23:11Z ] 👍 4

Unless you are a power user or can self diagnose the occasional problem, stay on stable. The updates will get moved into the stable channel within a couple months.

Finally they fixed the Steam connection regression!

Not according to console noobs over promoting their comical platform. According to those I've spoken to the deck isn't user friendly at all.. I don't know but its easy enough to open the store tab and download a game... Not sure how they manage such complicated work on console if that's confusing to them.. 😂

For those that are completely tech ignorant or bordering on luddites, I agree with you. The Steam Deck isn't 100% for them. Unless they stick to the Steam Verified titles. But other than that, the SD is a perfect hand-held gaming machine that is flexible enough for nearly every other type of gamer. Especially younger people who are tech inclined. They will learn and absorb so much knowledge from the SD it is practically the best gift a parent could give their child for Christmas. Order early folks. LOL.

its impressive how fast Valve is releasing these quality of life features and fixes

[ 2022-11-09 19:40:40Z ] 👍 0

@@mechanicalmonk2020 i understand your take but there is lot of things that should be in the initial release. i think they probably need to hire more developers, this isn't Microsoft remember. Valve has less than 400 employees and i don't know how many work on the deck itself. let's just be glad it's in now.

[ 2022-11-08 17:38:10Z ] 👍 0

The connection on wake resume has been an issue with a lot of users since they started shipping. I wouldn’t call this fix fast.

[ 2022-11-08 15:49:04Z ] 👍 0

@@mechanicalmonk2020 I think the reason they didn't get around to this was most people probably only had the storage in the console itself and no SD cards, but I am sure that has changed enough for Valve to add this in.

@@mechanicalmonk2020 better late then broken, everyone already have a bias to linus gaming, impression is really important.

[ 2022-11-08 13:55:06Z ] 👍 6

Is it though? Arguably this is one of the most basic features that should exist in a system like this but it took them 9 months after release to get around to it. I love Valve and the fact that they're continuing to develop SteamOS and adding these options but some of this stuff is downright obvious and should have been in the initial release

[ 2022-11-08 11:58:15Z ]👍 3

Can you opt out of this? I only ever want things to be installed to the microSD & don't want to be asked every time.

[ 2022-11-08 12:31:13Z ] 👍 2

That would be nice. Could add another setting to 'Always install to the default library' and leave that the default setting. Then those that have no idea what an install game library is will never see the option. Those that manage to put in a expansion storage card can certainly figure out another setting to allow them to choose which library to install to.

Cant say this ever really bothered me. for 90% of this I use the ssd so I just set is as the primary device. Id honestly prefer that to every time I dl something getting asked, although having the option to enable the feature is an advancement.

[ 2022-11-08 13:32:28Z ]👍 0

Yay! I just had his issue yesterday! Had to uninstall and reinstall 3 games because I dodn't realize they were being installed on my Micro SD

[ 2022-11-08 16:02:13Z ] 👍 2

Yeah, it's great that they're adding that menu. By the way, you can also transfer games between the ssd and sd card without re-downloading them again. You can do that in settigns/storage.

[ 2022-11-08 14:44:45Z ]👍 2

Can we please get downloads during sleep, Valve? Pleeaaaase? 😅

[ 2022-11-08 16:05:34Z ] 👍 2

I think that's not possible with that CPU, since it's powered off in sleep mode. Maybe, they could make some download-mode, where only the required components (motherboard, cpu, storage, network chip, ram, ...) are powered on and the rest that's not required for downloading games (controllers, screen, ...) are sleeping...

Good stuff keep at it Valve

[ 2022-11-08 15:38:44Z ]👍 4

that suspend mode networking issue was SUPER annoying in beta - so glad to see the fix, as well as selecting the drive on installs! Valve is just crushing it with the updates!

[ 2022-11-10 00:59:50Z ] 👍 0

The fact that that's not a thing when installing a game in game mode is crazy.

[ 2022-11-08 16:31:51Z ]👍 0

can you turn off the always show download thing... I am one of the ones that doesnt want it.

[ 2022-11-08 16:38:56Z ]👍 0

Good stuff! I noticed the other day that the default installation directory will always be set to the micro sd card when you eject and reinsert/swap them.. This is annoying because I want the steamdeck storage to be default. Hopefully that will change soon too.

[ 2022-11-08 16:40:24Z ]👍 0

Hopefully they let us delete all the “other” data from storage soon 😭 23 gb of nonsense on my drive right now
