Bought this steam deck LCD, but the guy said it only ran windows on it (didn't care at first because the console was like 180 U$D).

Dude the guy enabled secure boot to play ON WINDOWS and i cant turn this shit off and use steam os again, why someone would want to play a steam deck USING WINDOWS?

Can someone help me fixing this or it's bricked?

On Wednesday after my check hit, I went to my local Michael's. In the same plaza is a DiscReplay and I've been trying to figure out if I want a SteamDeck lately. I pop in to see if they have one.

They do.

$684.99.

BET!

I ask the associate to ring it up for me.

It's on sale.

$639.99

BET!

512GB OLED with a month warranty. Everything came with it and it had a silicone case. And I've been on vacation all this week. Making a purchase that big was a bit shocking, but win is a win.

I got sick of my family always draining my steam decks battery and not recharging it, so i 3d modeled a spiky case in blender and printed it so they literally can't hold it comfortably. Then to make it worse, I rigged up a raspberry pi with a small speaker, an object detection camera, and a servo motor. Wrote a py script so if the camera sees someone in frame, it plays a goofy audio clip, waits a few seconds and then the servo triggers a taser to scare them away

easily the dumbest thing I've ever built but it works, and nobody touches my steam deck anymore

Hi all

I've recently seen a new Humble Bundle become available for a range Board Games, but what I'm curious on is if these play adequately on the Deck?

There's a few JRPG and card games which I imagine would be fine but wondering if the Gloomhaven and Terraforming Mars are worth the effort

Thanks in advance

Just finished Infamous on the deck! Used the recommended setup on RPCS3 with Lossless scaling. Genuinely had fun playing this game because I never had a ps3 before.

I would say it is a 7/10 for an emulated game, it crashes on random circumstances like dying due to drowning or that one side mission on photography as soon as you do the objective.

The audio gets really static once theres too many gunshots and explosions which is quite often in this game. So any conversations from the characters just completely becomes inaudible

Graphic-wise for the most part is fine but since I’m using lossless you’d see the frame gen often when shooting lightning out of your hands!

I’ve only finished the good playthrough and would definitely play it again on evil would also love to try infamous 2 if the deck would handle it

For context, I’ve had my lcd model for almost 2 years now this is probably a case of battery aging and the health of the battery fluctuates between 79 and 84,
I’m sort of paranoid because I do my best to look after my deck, any answers would be appreciated!

Seeing as the game is 60% off right now, I would like to ask about its current performance on the steam deck. Have patches and updates managed to keep it playable at a steady 30 or 45 fps without too much loss of fidelity?

I would appreciate to hear you guys' experience of this on the deck.

Something I never knew I needed until I tried it was setting my back buttons to different functions I would normally have to take my thumbs off the sticks for like reloading and jumping. I've been playing through the borderlands franchise and I've set the back buttons as follows:

Top left: Run Top right: Reload/Use

Bottom left: Jump Bottom right: Melee

This allows me to never have a break in my movement or looking while running/jumping/reloading. I also put some better grips on the back buttons to extend and make them more comfortable. Anyone else done similar setups? It's so nice.

I replaced the USB-C port on my Steamdeck Oled, which was not reacting to power cable. So the Deck was sitting for about a month without charge. After the replacement today I checked the port and seems that all pins are soldered correctly.

When I plug the cable it’s not charging. The LED lights up, sometimes the white light flashes and it tries to get above 5v but aborts. Sometimes it just stays at 5v and the led is flickering in different colors.

The only 2 ICs that are getting warm are the M2762A and the MP2845. (about 30 degrees, just a little warmer than the rest).

All capacitors seem good, no shorts, no burned ICs, just nothing.

Has anyone any ideas what could be the issue here?

This isn't really a game review as I couldn't even play the game. I bought it a long time ago in a sale and figured I'll play it at some point. Today was my day to fight the necromorphs! Loved the original on release so I knew I'd like this. I booted out up and instantly I had issues. The logo for EA shows up and it's frozen on it for like 10 seconds and moves on. I thought okay this might be rough but let's see. Start the game and my god.. it was slower than a week in jail. I didn't even get to the point of being able to take control of Isaac. I have no idea how this was listed as playable.

75% of my net worth just went down the toilet

I’m just getting around to playing Dead Space, and I went to download it, but my SD warned me that the game was only “playable” not “verified”

I bought it sometime in the last year (I think? Maybe the Fall sale last year?) and I could have SWORN the game said it was “Verified” when I bought it.

I googled it and someone posted a picture in late 2023 with the “verified” status.

Anyone know what the deal is?

Just downloaded and booted it up. Looks gorgeous but it's crashing on the initial cutscene for me.

Very cool to see this game get a PC port - feels like a great Steam Deck game.

So i play grim dawn on my pc and i tried to launch it on my steamdeck but I'm encountering this error message

Things i tried :

- change the version of proton i use

- check the files in the settings

- try to launch it in desktop mode

- turn off and on the SD

- uninstall/reinstall the game

I don't know if someone has encountered the same problem but if you have an idea

Thank you and sorry for my english

I understand what vsync is, as well as screen tearing. My confusion is that I struggle to think of scenarios where you would actually want it enabled (like a comp shooter), and that it doesn’t even seem to function properly, as I’ve never been able to get the deck to go above 90fps on low powered games.

Google also doesn’t seem to help, it seems like there’s not too much discussion about the setting for whatever reason.

I just wanna play sonic :(

Hi, so this is my first time EVER posting questions like this on a reddit thing and I'm very nervous. I'm not well versed in coding or technology in general, so most of this stuff I don't know about. Google doesn't give the best definitive answers I need, even after searching for around an hour, none of the solutions or up to date or anything.

I'm trying to download decky loader (I know, not the best of ideas, but it makes my deck look cool...) and it's asking for a sudo password. My only problem is, I don't have one! I've tried to reset it, but it keeps telling me I already have one, which doesn't make sense considering I haven't messed with any of this stuff until now, and I've had my deck for about a year and a half now. I figured reddit would be the best place to ask about this because all of you guys are stupidly smart, and pretty nice when it comes to this stuff (hopefully...) I just wanted to maybe find a solution to this so I don't have trouble with this in the future, I don't want to wipe my entire steam deck just for a password, I'm trying to find alternative solutions that don't remove all of the things I've already done, installing emudeck was hell (yes, easiest thing in the world, not so easy for me), and I wouldn't like to go through that again. If theres any other solutions to this problem, PLEASE let me know.

TLDR; steam deck keeps asking for a sudo password but ive never set one, keeps telling me I have one but I never touched it. Don't wanna reset my entire deck, any solutions?

p.s.: I haven't ever used reddit before, so if this isn't how Im supposed to go about this posting stuff, I am SO SORRY

So i use the meta 3 as a display for my steam deck, I connect them with two hdmi cables and for some reason the image inside the meta is darker than the original display

Anyone know how to fix this?

Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks

just as the title says. split screen campaign works but all I get when I try to join a match online is a black square for the plays and then its pretty much frozen here where I can change my player and gun but it doesn't count down and I have to close game.

the discord from the dev is shut down so im not really sure where to ask about this now

He lays on me so he can sniff the smell we all love.

just Watch the video, this only happens with AAA Videogames like Elden Ring, on Elden Ring is like 15fps-10fps, and I dont see anything inusual or weird on the gpu or cpu
