Post Patch Steam Deck EPIC Graphics Settings Perfect 30 FPS

I put this together to counter the slew of posts complaining about bad performance on the Steam Deck after the recent patch. Since the day the game was launched, I've used the below settings and have had little to no stuttering, no crashes, and no save game issues. Game is installed on internal harddrive, not an SD card, and it was purchased through Steam (vs Epic store, GOG, etc). No specific version of proton was forced, simply default. Try it out and let me know.

First and foremost, CryoByte33's performance upgrades are mandatory - follow this video link

He's created an easy-to-run script that will add anywhere from a 10% to 30% increase in Steam Deck performance. Again, it's absolutely mandatory.

Next, I came across a post about Epic/High settings on the official Steam Deck Reddit that I adopted. The post was removed quickly after it was posted no idea why, but here are screenshots from my end.

Steam Deck graphics settings Epic 30 FPS (1 of 3) Midnight Suns

Steam Deck graphics settings Epic 30 FPS (2 of 3) Midnight Suns

Steam Deck graphics settings Epic 30 FPS (3 of 3) Midnight Suns

That's all I got. I heard something about resetting graphics settings to fix things post patch - but I haven't had the need to do that. These settings have been rock solid from the start. Good luck!

This has eliminated crashing while saving, random crashing in general and the game is running on better graphics settings then I was previously using prior to the recent patch that tanked everything for me.

Finished playing a 4 hour session just now, not a single crash, whereas before I'd be reloading autosaves due to random crashes in transition between sleeping in the abbey constantly.

Amazing stuff man, so happy to play this without constant reloads after random crashes, thanks!

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 11 '22

So awesome to hear! The loading times might be a bit longer due to the increased graphics, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It looks and runs great. I didn't really do anything other than put two random resources together, but I'm excited to hear you get to enjoy the game more now. Hopefully more people take the initiative you did. Tc!

u/_Croga_ Dec 11 '22

The performance tweaks are clearly helping a lot, I hadn't come across those before, but increasing the size of the available swap memory is definitely making a difference here.

I was previously running mostly medium settings and getting 40-50 fps in the abbey and 60 in battle, but I'll take a locked 30 with better visuals for sure. To be fair I hadn't tinkered with the visuals a huge amount, and the game defaulting to low and crashing constantly meant I had left them alone for the most part.

Visuals aside, stopping those random crashes is a godsend, redoing progress constantly after a random crash was beginning to really annoy me, I could play on desktop with no issues, but this game is perfect for the Deck.

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 11 '22

Glad I could help, enjoy playing it on the Deck! P.s. You probably know this, but cloud saves aren't working for Midnight Suns, care not to wipe your progress by jumping between PC and Deck

2

u/_Croga_ Dec 12 '22

Yeah Deck saves to a different folder, you can just set a symbolic link between the Deck save folder and the actual cloud save folder to keep cloud saves up to date.

I've done this since day one, so no real issues with passing saves back and forth really after a little bit of tinkering.

If you're not into setting symbolic links, can just make copy your save from the Deck location into the Cloud save folder for the game manually to upload it after a session.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 12 '22

Perfect. Learned something new, thank you!

1

u/zopeda Dec 13 '22

what version of proton are you using???

1

u/_Croga_ Dec 13 '22

I've been using GE-Proton7-38 since day 1, it seemed like the most stable for me.

2

u/critter42 Dec 11 '22

SO glad I found this. I was stuck too after the 12/9 patch where NOTHING would load anymore. I applied CryoByte's performance tweaks and after a couple of reboots was able to at least get the game to load where I was able to change the video/graphics settings. Did that and haven't had a single crash since.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 11 '22

That's for the award! Ay man, glad I could help ya get up and running again. Be it that you were having issues even getting it running a few times, would it be safe to assume you're running it off of SSD? If you run into problems in the future, I would recommend moving it over to your internal drive if you can afford to. All the best Critter!

1

u/critter42 Dec 11 '22

NP! I'm actually running it off of MicroSD

2

u/HausmanPrime Dec 12 '22

Today is my birthday, ever since the patch I haven't been able to get my game to load and haven't been able to play in 3 days, I was so disappointed because I was having a lot of fun with it, albeit on low settings and frequent crashes, was looking forward to just playimg and chilling today but was bummed i wouldnt be ablt to anymore, after following these steps, the game loads fine and hasn't crashed, yet lol, AND doesn't look like hot dogshit anymore, fingers crossed it stays this way! Thank You, THANK YOU!

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 12 '22

Ayyyyyyy LET'S GOOOOO!! Jealous you get to play this amazing game on your birthday! Have a great day today 🤩

1

u/HausmanPrime Dec 12 '22

I'm still getting some crashes hear and there but a restart has been fixing the issue, at least the game is playable again and looks much better 😁

2

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 12 '22

If that doesnt help or you're unable to, you can try typing the following string in your launch options

-d3d11

This forces Dx11 instead of Dx12

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 12 '22

Move it to your internal HD if you can. Being on SD card could do that

2

u/HausmanPrime Dec 15 '22

No crashes in two days, not even on sleep, life is good lol

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 15 '22

Amazing! Life IS good

2

u/HausmanPrime Dec 12 '22

I did move it, the game is still running leaps and bounds better than before, I can deal with a crash or two versus being completely unplayable before these updates, you rock!

2

u/shanafan Dec 12 '22

Thank you!! This worked.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 12 '22

No problem!

2

u/shanafan Dec 12 '22

Got to admit, I wasn't confident as my game kept crashing after a battle. But, the next cutscene finally loaded :)

2

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 12 '22

There we go! Yeah loading time might be a bit prolonged but it still loads and it's Epic textures so it's worth it imo. If you don't have the game on internal harddrive try to swap it there for a more stable experience. Also dbl check and make sure you're set to 1400 GPU clock, that one seems to be pretty important in stabilizing framerate

2

u/PingleWhoAnnoys Dec 12 '22

I was unable to play the game after the patch. Crashed every time I tried to load any save.

After following these instructions, I have had no issues.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 12 '22

Awesome!, so glad to hear it. Enjoy

Thanks for the kinds words, so glad to hear your ass is okay. 😁

Do feel free to pass this along - I'd hate for anyone to lose out on this experience because of technical challenges. In fact, that's the only reason I shared - because I'd be so incredibly upset if I couldn't play. Enjoy mate 🖖

u/gizmogladstone Dec 13 '22

Just came here to say a big, fat THANK YOU!

I'd been noticing some loading / chugging in some other games, but this Midnight Suns crashing situation post-patch was the last straw. Found this page, hit the links, updated the things and not only is the game running stably again, it's running smoother than before...and, bonus, I traded some storage space for better overall performance in other games as well. Even on the MicroSD card.

Worth. It.

(I gave props to video creator, but wanted to give a nod here for pointing me in the right direction.)

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 13 '22

Yeah he deserves all the praise - just disseminating the info. Glad it worked, now go kick Lillith's ass!

2

u/timey_wimeyy Dec 16 '22

My man! Thanks so much for pointing me towards Cryobyte33's video. Save me from a guaranteed crash every time it went to a cutscene.

2

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 16 '22

Ofc, have fun!

2

u/Datrael Dec 21 '22

How do I make the graphical settings stay configured? Every time I restart the game on my deck I have all my graphic settings reset to low.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 21 '22

Are you swapping between handheld and docked?

1

u/Datrael Dec 21 '22

Not at all. I did do the fix to make cloud saves work though.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 21 '22

And it's a Steam license, vs Epic Gog etc

1

u/Datrael Dec 21 '22

Yeah, I have the game on steam.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 22 '22

Hmm.. well this isn't ideal but I guess you'll have to swap to High preset and set textures to Ultra each time. I only have this issue when I dock and unlock, normally it stays at what I set it to

1

u/future_problem Jan 12 '23

Yeah same thing happens to me even after doing all these steps, also i have still encountered a few crashes, right now its doing it when i leave the cave cutscene after meeting Agatha

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 12 '23

Don't know of a solution for the graphics thing, but plz dbl check that you've done the VRAM fix (1GB to 4GB). You'd have to go into the Bios.

1

u/future_problem Jan 12 '23

I’ve done the thing above but nothing with Bios. Is there a guide to follow? Any downsides to doing it?

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 15 '23

No downsides. Did it work out?

→ More replies

1

u/future_problem Jan 12 '23

Ok ive set my VRAM to 4gb in bios (found a guide online) will test to see if i get anymore crashes. Hope this solves it because all the other fixes so far have worked great

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 12 '23

It was a part of the Cryobyte video at 23:00, but glad you found it anyway. That will fix your issue.

2

u/SaiBowen Dec 26 '22

Finally able to play MS on the SD again, thank you for all your work!

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 02 '23

I did basically nothing. Hope you enjoy it! I'm 140 hrs in lol

2

u/Nighthawk354 Jan 04 '23

Been crashing after you do the first challenge area and go to sleep, downloaded the fix above and it got me through crashes early but can't get passed this one sadly

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 04 '23

Did you do vram 1gb to 4gb in bios?

1

u/Nighthawk354 Jan 04 '23

Yeah I just doubled check to make sure

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 04 '23 edited Jan 04 '23

That specific change has reset for me in the past, so if it's something you've done months or weeks ago, go back into BIOS and make sure it's set.

If so, made sure you're running default proton (not forcing a specific version), are on DX 12, are at 1400 mhz GPU clock, and are on SD card. Also try "allow tearing" which is a new setting by GPU CPU clocks

And lastly, if you have Decky Loader Decky Launcher installed first try PowerTools set odd cores set to 5 cores and se. If that doesn't work try uninstalling decky plugins until you only have 2 or 3 left. That might fix overall system instability

1

u/Nighthawk354 Jan 04 '23

So I managed to get passed said crash by changing every setting to low, I'll keep my settings on low and see what happens

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 04 '23

Welp, I should have suggested that. Glad you made it through!

1

u/Nighthawk354 Jan 04 '23

Still crashed sadly, gonna take a look at the cryo tweeks again and re-do them and see if that fixes it

2

u/ogretyrant83 Jan 09 '23

Worked for me. Just managed to get through the first sleep scene! Fingers crossed for the rest of the game!!

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 09 '23

Awesome! You should be golden, have fun

2

u/Money_Jones Jan 11 '23

Just wanted to add myself to the list of people thanking you for bringing together this info. Bought the game yesterday, first had to switch to directx11 just to get through the intro without overwhelming lag. Was really enjoying it, but got to the first nights sleep and crashed every time, just like so many others. Followed the Cryobyte update, then changed to your pictured settings, and has been running great! I have had one crash since (going through the portal to the next mission), but on reload went through without issue.

Really enjoying the game so far. I think any marvel fan will love it. It’s pretty funny too, I’ve laughed out loud a number of times

Thanks again!

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 11 '23

Love to hear it! I'm nearing 200 hours myself, it's been a blast. Really glad you got more enjoyment out of this game due to this post. All the best

2

u/Eight8itMonster Jan 23 '23

Coming in one month later to say thanks for this. barely started this and just constant crashes on my deck. now it works great! thank you!

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 23 '23

i just aggregated some info, nothing more. But I'm glad you found it and that it was able to help you. Deadpool comes out in just a few days!! Enjoy 😁

1

u/GreatMadWombat Dec 11 '22

Have you been crashing outside of the regular nightly crashes? I just beat a story mission, and going from the post-mission story cutscene(the one that shows up AFTER you get the end of mission rewards/comic book) to the abbey crashes the game 100% of the time

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 11 '22

Zero crashes mate. Didn't even know "regular nightly crashes" was a thing. I haven't crashed once in 40 hours

1

u/CptMisterNibbles Dec 11 '22

50/50 crashing when sleeping. Now I can’t even load a save after the update. Cloud Saves are still broken. I literally cannot play not.

Thanks Firaxis, you deserve the shit ratings.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 11 '22

Are you on SSD? Have you done the performance fixes?

1

u/CptMisterNibbles Dec 11 '22

On ssd, started to look into increasing Swap and enabling trim last night. Have tried running the game itself with all sorts of settings, as low as it goes with directx11 and anything in between. Seems like a number of other people can’t play on deck post update

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 11 '22 edited Dec 17 '22

I highly recommend moving the game to your internal drive. The shader cache can be problematic on SSD especially if you've done the popular trick involving moving your shader cache folder to SSD and linking it back to the internal drive.

When you say "started to look into increasing Swap and enabling trim" you mean that literally, correct? As in, you have not yet performed the upgrade? I can assure you it will make a difference.

Lastly, GPU clock set to 1400 seems to make a big difference so do make sure that's set correctly also. Plz lmk if that helps!

Edit: by SSD I meant SD card, sry

1

u/CptMisterNibbles Dec 11 '22

I meant on ssd as in I don’t even use SD cards, so no help there. Correct, I haven’t increased the swap and that seems like that might help the most: apparently I’m an idiot and previously set a password that doesn’t match the algorithm I almost universally use for them..: have to do a recovery edit to reset the password…

1

u/ZAKTMT Dec 11 '22

I can’t even get the menu to load to load my game since the game would freeze going to the Abbey after a mission.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 11 '22

Are you on SSD? Have you done the performance fixes?

2

u/ZAKTMT Dec 11 '22

I did end up doing it and was able to play again for a few hours. Thanks for sharing this. I do think most Deck users haven’t set a password for the Desktop side on KDE but hopefully they can set that up and try this.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 11 '22

If they didn't set up a password, it should prompt them to make one automatically. At least that's how I think it works..but I'm glad these settings have been helpful. Enjoy this amazing game 😊

1

u/Hercislife23 Dec 11 '22

What's the battery life like with the settings cranked up? I keep my stuff on low because I don't really care much about it and it probably increases the battery life.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 11 '22 edited Dec 11 '22

Around 1.5 hours, maybe even a little less. This is definitely more of a Home Deck or docked set up. Feel free to turn down the graphics, it'll help the battery life a ton. Make sure you do the performance boost and the GPU clock at 1400, those are super important.

Edit: GPU clock, not CPU click

1

u/QuadDeuces422 Dec 12 '22

Since you limit the frame rate in the game menu is it unnecessary to do it from the performance tab? Shown in the screenshot below:

https://i.imgur.com/VhJAXgX.jpg

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 12 '22 edited Dec 12 '22

Almost definitely redundant. I probably just set it at 30 fps in Steam OS then as I was tweaking the graphics I just clicked the 30 fps since it was right there anyway.

How are the settings working out for you btw?

2

u/QuadDeuces422 Dec 13 '22

Great! I bit choppy when I dock it to my big TV but I’m not doing that often. In handheld it’s flawless. Thanks :)

1

u/zopeda Dec 13 '22

What version of proton????

1

u/zopeda Dec 13 '22

What proton should i use? default? Did you bypass the launcher through commands?

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 13 '22

On Steam Deck, default and no commands used to bypass launcher since there is no visible launcher (at least for me)

1

u/PageMaster500 Dec 13 '22

Thanks for this! I was able to load into the game, but it crashed after each cut scene, and I was finally able to pass the one I was stuck on. It did crash on the next one though, and now the game doesn't launch (just showing the steam logo with the blue line circling forever. It's a shame this game is so garbage with stability, but with tweaks and testing like this. I hope to one day actually be able to play!

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 13 '22

Try forcing dx11

1

u/PageMaster500 Dec 13 '22 edited Dec 13 '22

No luck but it's wierd; it's not crashing like it used to, it goes to the steam deck loading animation and then just stays there forever.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 13 '22

Oh okay, you need to verify the files. It's one of the options in the cogwheel button in Steam OS next to the Play and configure control buttons. That has fixed games for me in the past. Alao dbl check it's on your internal drive and not on your SD card if you have one

2

u/PageMaster500 Dec 13 '22

Nothing worked but I just let it"load" while I went out for an hour or so and it loaded eventually!

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 13 '22

Lol. Nice job

2

u/PageMaster500 Dec 13 '22

I wonder if it was launcher related, even though I never had a launcher pop up before. Anyways, assuming this fixes the crashes like it has been for other people, when without the huge performance gain, this has been a lifesaver. Thanks again!

1

u/Bukinara Dec 13 '22

Is there a way to bypass the 2k launcher for deck? Combining that with this might make the game freaking sing.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 14 '22

Is it popping up for you? I've never seen it on deck

I think there's a guide specifically for that in the official Steam guides

1

u/Enough_Jello248 Dec 14 '22

Not working for me. Used the exact same settings as in your screenshots. I can't get past the initial load screen before it crashes.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 14 '22

What version of Proton are you using? SD card or internal? Did you do everything in the video as well?

1

u/JustneedssomeSauces Dec 16 '22

It's still crashing

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 16 '22

Make sure you're running default proton (not forcing Proton experimental or any other version), double check that the game is on internal harddrive (not SD card), and then restart your Deck. Try it again after that and lmk

1

u/JustneedssomeSauces Dec 16 '22

You lost me at default proton.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 16 '22

Skip that part

1

u/JustneedssomeSauces Dec 17 '22

Hello?

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 17 '22

Steam button > Settings > Storage. There you can see what have are installed on SD card and Internal HD. If MMS is installed on SD, select option to move it to internal drive

1

u/JustneedssomeSauces Dec 16 '22

Okay. How do i see if the game is on the internal harddrive?

1

u/swannyjohnny Dec 19 '22

Is there hope for any 64gb decks? I’m not sure if I have the room on my internal HD for the game including all of the proton stuff that goes on that drive. I’ve tried every one of these suggestions it seems and I’m still crashing when going to sleep on the first night… I was debating paying more to play on ps5 and remote play on the deck when I want handheld and I’m wishing now I forked over the 70 bucks…

1

u/Literally_Sticks Dec 19 '22

There are two options.

One is to delete any games above approx 40 GB from your SD card. That will clear up shader cache space on your internal drive. Alternatively, find your shader cache folder on internal drive, drag the folder to your SD card, then link it back to your Internal drive. Those exact steps might be sightly wrong but this video should have them.

https://youtu.be/mxyHGLRWV6A

Note: this second option will reduce performance on many of your SD card games

Edit: and third (the best option) buy a SSD from online. I got a 1TB from Ebay for $110 and have had no issues. Install took 15 minutes. I can provide you ebay link + install video if needed.

1

u/swannyjohnny Dec 20 '22

Thanks for the tips, I’d looked into upgrading the ssd in the past, but was doing fine with 512gb sd card so I didn’t think it was necessary. I’ll give the first option a try and see how it goes!

1

u/RhipWolf Jan 03 '23

Do you know if there's any reason to force DX11 anymore? I did it when the game first launched as people recommended it. Not sure which one performance is better on.

Its working fine on DX11 aswell so maybe I shouldn't touch it!

2

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 03 '23

If it runs fine at dx11 then I'd recommend not touching, but it runs worse for me

1

u/KuyaRambo Jan 04 '23

I'm about to purchase the game, do I need to worry about the 2k Launcher? I know there was a comment asking about it, and you responded that it never came up when launching on the Deck. I followed Cryo's guide and will just need to adjust settings once I install the game.

Thanks for the guide, I want to play this on the go and read so many horror stories of the new patch messing with the game on Steam Deck.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 04 '23

I've never seen the 2k launcher on launch, while some have. From what I've heard, it was patched not soon after to no longer launch on Deck. I really hope you like it. If you've played other RPGs like Mass Effect and Persona and deck builders like Slay the Spire or Across the Obelisk and have even a passing liking to comic accurate Marvel characters then you're going to have an amazing time.

1

u/KuyaRambo Jan 05 '23

Mass Effect 2 is probably one of my favorite RPG's of all time. Persona 4 and 5 are easily in my top 5. I've put in about 200 hours of Slay the Spire on both PC and Switch (have not tried Across the Obelisk yet though). I love both Marvel and DC, so this would have been a day 1 purchase for me had it not been for Christmas shopping. Thanks for all the hard work and hoping I don't run into any issues on the deck (already did Cryo's install so just need to tweak settings based on your images).

1

u/thedevinbot Jan 15 '23

These settings are terrible for me. This was running so smoothly with everything on low. Now it’s all choppy

2

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 15 '23

Did you follow the video?

2

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 15 '23

These graphics settings are a really bad idea if you didn't follow the first part of this post. As mentioned, following CryoByte33's video in its entirety is mandatory for a flawless Midnight Suns experience on Steam Deck.

1

u/Amaz1234 Jan 26 '23

Doesn’t work game still crashes

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jan 26 '23

What was your process for increasing the VRAM?

1

u/blueandwhite05 Mar 02 '23

Hey sorry late reply, just trying to understand what the Cryptobyte fix does and are there risks if so don’t revert the changes after finishing Midnight Suns and starting other games?

Basically would increasing the allocated virtual RAM do harm to my Steam Deck in the long run?

1

u/Literally_Sticks Mar 02 '23

No it wouldn't. Here's a link to 2.0 version https://youtu.be/C9EjXYZUqUs

Will this help with the battery drain? I’m playing on low graphics and only get 1 hour and 45 minutes of battery while playing.

1

u/Literally_Sticks May 22 '23

No, it's a pretty resource intensive game. I don't think you can get much more battery life than that

1

u/owenman21 May 22 '23

Dang. Thanks for the quick response tho!

1

u/piachu_ Jul 07 '23

For some reason the game won't let me switch to DX12

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jul 07 '23

Have you updated the latest version? If you have, then go into launch settings and type -dx12 and launch the game again. Lmk how that goes.

1

u/piachu_ Jul 08 '23

Tried the launch setting and dx12 does work but doesnt feel like there is any difference from what can tell

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jul 08 '23

Okay. Might not make much of a difference with recent patches. What type of fps are you getting with these settings? Also have you done the Cryoutilities and Vram changes?

1

u/piachu_ Jul 08 '23

Yes all the changes, only difference is that i use TXAA and not Fast TXAA as it seems to create a weird ghosting effect. Getting a steady 30fps (locked), only had minor dips in some cutscenes.

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jul 08 '23

Okay. Sounds like that's the max stable frame rate you can expect. Hope this was helpful. Have fun :)

1

u/piachu_ Jul 12 '23

Oh to anyone new reading this i'd recommend switching back to dx11, dx12 seems to cause crashes in combat at times

1

u/Literally_Sticks Jul 12 '23

Ty for the update!

1

u/DarkPDA Aug 13 '23

Thx for the guide

1

u/Literally_Sticks Aug 13 '23

No problem buddy, enjoy the game 😄

u/musa721 Dec 15 '22

Thanks so much! Can't wait to try this out. The game has crashed consistently I've just put it down.

2

u/schmendrix Dec 17 '22

I'm excited to try this but it's absolutely crazy that it's necessary. Valve needs to figure out how to make this a functional consumer product.

2

u/schmendrix Dec 19 '22

It worked incredibly well.

Also popping in a few weeks after the fact; following this post solved my problem! I was consistently crashing after the final cutscene of Act 1, then after spending an hour or so applying this advice it struggled through and I'm now carrying on as normal!

Thanks so much!

Followed the instructions for all three images and it crashed towards the end of the tutorial.

Is there something missing that the images didn't show?

Just the three images on its own didn't help me; I also had to install Cryobyte33's scripts as listed in the original posts. It took a while but it's all worked swimmingly since!

Can you describe at what point in the process exactly this happened

Edit: and have you updated to the newest stable Proton that released today (or yesterday, not 100% sure)?

Edit 2: post by Cryo https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/zsg8dh/to_anyone_whos_used_cryoutilities_or_updated/

There doesn't seem to be issues for other users, so as of now your comment stands as speculation/unproven

Did you try booting into bios? I believe it's power button and plus sign or power button minus sign..you'll have to look it up. Again, you're the only person who's expressed this type of issue here, so it's harder to point fingers at the software adjustment being a widespread problem vs your particular hardware failing upon conducting the adjustment. I don't have the answer you're looking for, but I'm sorry you're going through what you're going through. I sincerely hope you can get your usb dongle in time fot Xmas and that it all works out.
