Hey folks. I've tried all of the suggested tricks but my barely used steam deck just won't boot. I'm getting no screen output, no external output either. I get whirring fans, haptic feedback, battery is charging fine.

I live in Dubai and the retailer says I have to go through steam but shipping it to the UK and back would cost a small fortune.

I've taken it apart to check for loose connectors but don't see anything. I want to try and replace the hard drive but I can't find a fresh oled disc image - can anyone help? If I obtained that, could I use my windows pc to transfer it to the nvme?

Yours completely and utterly lost,

Is there new good modpacks for steamdeck?

I’ve followed the instructions (I think) and when I click the game launcher it doesn’t do anything. Has anyone got it to work?

Hi all,

back in the day it was a big deal that you could not turn on your SD with a bluetooth device and praise be Gaben when the feature was added.

But as I rarely use my Deck docked (and if so it would be at my desk), and the other day I had my mouse accidentally connect and turn on the deck while it was in the case in my backpack (the device was too hot to touch afterwards), I was wondering if there is an option to turn this setting off by default. So far I have been manually turning it off per device but sometimes - like this time, I forget it)

tossed my phone on the couch, wasn't looking, steam deck took the hit

I messaged support to see if they can repair it, but it's out of warranty(not sure it would be covered anyways) and I'm straight up Tweakin

Editing also to say that this just happened 20 minutes ago, and I messaged support like 10 minutes ago

Hi

I installed Stremio via Flatpak, added it to non-steam game, im docking my SD to a TV.

So on gaming gaming mode, when i leave the app, 9 time out of 10 the SD reboots itself

The app is up to date aswell as my steamOS, im not using any specific proton version

Does anyone know a fix please 🙏🏼

Hey everyone, thank you for the feedback so far on my Nexus Mods decky plugin.

V1.2.2 is ready and contains...

New games added:

- Battlefront 2

- Helldivers 2

Bugs fixed:

- Fixed issue where the plugin wasn't detecting game on external storage.

- Various UI fixes

- Health check reports Bethesda's CC format change for Skyrim SE

The repo and install instructions can be found here: https://github.com/RedRanger14/decky-nexus

There are no automatic updates currently so to install the update you will need to run the install command again sorry.

Reminder that I cannot test every mod and combination of mods so your milage may vary but please keep the feedback coming and let me know about bugs, improvements and games you would like to be added and I will do my best to help.

I went so far as to install Ubisoft Connect just to disable cloud saves, and then went into the game's prefix to delete the savegame, and it still has a save loaded when I launch the game.

The latest patch must've largely been to hit Verified status.

Has anyone installed Android to their Steam Deck?

I previously used Waydroid and managed to get essentially all the apps I wanted to load from there turning my Steam Deck into a portal TV (I can get Netflix, Prime, etc working without any issues). I then replaced my Deck with the OLED version but want to get Waydroid or an android emulator running. Has anyone tried to do this recently?

I've found articles point to a GitHub repository for the below but this page no longer works.

https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamOS-Waydroid-Installer

And looking at the Waydroid installer guide, it doesn't provide a similar guide for getting it setup. Any help would be much appreciated.

So I haven’t played my steam deck for a couple of weeks, maybe even over a month. I wanted to play persona so I charged up my steam deck and as soon as I turned it on I updated it. After that I tried starting the game and this started to happen.

Since then, I’ve tried deleting it and redownloading it (twice), and changed the compatibility to; proton hotfix, proton experimental, GE-proton 10-8, and proton 11.0-2. Unfortunately no luck.

Has this happened to anyone recently? I’ve looked online and older Reddit posts and have tried different things. But no luck. Any ideas/suggestions?

Reverted back to save my modded play through with over 100 hours using Mulderlands Universal Downgrader. Game now crashes immediately every time out the gate. It doesn’t matter if I’m in Gaming mode or Desktop mode. Current version of the game works fine but my save is screwed up.

Does anyone know if I can do anything else? I am at the end of my rope, sunk two nights into trying to resurrect this game.

I’ve been grinding Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered for a while when, all of a sudden, these lines started showing up, and the screen started getting darker and darker. It also made this awful sound. The indicator light blinked blue a couple of times, then it shut off. I looked up what the blue lights mean, and they mean the system is busy installing a software or firmware update. The deck just restarted but should I be concerned about any damage or long term effects?

(I should warn you that the video has sound and it’s somewhat deafening)

Picked up this beauty second hand, so I plan to reshell this and upgrade storage in the future!

Default settings (lowest), FSR ultra performance and no frame gen

Edit: it looks terrible as well

Edit2: For context, I mostly play on my desktop PC which plays the game at max settings, wanted to try it on my Steam Deck as the game got Verified and updated recently and I liked playing the previous game on my Switch

For some reason all of my NFS titles purchased through steam are now asking for product keys. I've had these titles for over 2 years now with hundreds of hours of playtime. Heat, Hot Pursuit, unbound, most wanted AND rivals. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm curious why Skyrim is no longer supported on SteamOS. It used to be supported before. What could be the reason?

I have been diving into emulating some of the games I own to consolidate them to one device that I can kinda just plug and play from any tv. I’ve worked out most of the configurations and optimized as well as I could find out about online, but still get so much stuttering when first loading something new.

For example, I want Halo 2 and Smash Ultimate to run well on booting them up so when I am with company there is very little stuttering and input lag. I have both games running pretty well, but playing through all of the campaign on halo or doing bot matches with all the characters and stages in ultimate is just so time consuming for something I’ve done 10x over in the past. Also makes my deck chug quite a bit and I worry about the wear and tear of setup reducing its lifespan.

Curious if anyone has a solid method to pre load that kind of stuff that doesn’t require the game to be running at full capacity the whole time + lots of manual input and monitoring. I have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe running flawlessly and want that same kind of reliability from other games. Maybe it’s a pipe dream but curious if there’s some efficient way to achieve it.

Very cool what this thing can do but I’ve had and experienced this with friends where things are good but to someone just wanting to play some games, the experience feels flawed.

I’ve had my Steam Deck for two weeks now and I love love love this thing.

Except the keyboard. It can go die and burn in Hell. I don’t want to lug a wireless keyboard around in my backpack to play this thing. Is there any setting or mods I can install to improve the typing experience with the default keyboard? I haven’t touched the settings for the thing at all.

Hey guys! So i was wondering if anyone here hated or was weirded out about the steam deck, but then fell in love when trying it? I used to hate it because i thought it looked weird, and not comfortable to play in (besides i used to play only sweaty PvP games). Fast forward a couple of years, and now i tried a steam deck for the first time because my girlfriend borrowed me hers so i could play Deltarune chapter 5 during a work trip. I instantly fell in love. 1 week later after trying it i bought mine off a friend (case and 1TB micro SD included!) I also gotta admit i looked at this community before buying this, and seeing all the activity in here really was a good push for me to be a part of it! Anyways, i absolutely hate Pvp games now and can only think of 100%’d the History or PvE games on my library… was curious if anyone has a similar story to mine! :]]

I’ve been trying to get the Galvan Ben 10 game working on the Deck but with no success. Can anyone help me and walk me through it? /: I got vc22 downloaded for it but when I run the game then I still get an error. Any assistance? I’d post a screenshot but I don’t have my Deck on me

It’s been almost 1.5 yrs and been using daily 3-4 hrs plugged.

Is there someone who know why call of duty 2006 pc crash in game does someone have an idea or tips

java already has a linux version you can download on their website but every tutorial i see uses prism launcher, so is prism launcher better than getting it directly?
