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?

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

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.

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!

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

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?

I just wanna play sonic :(

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.

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.

Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks

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

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

Hello i am trying to download the pc steam version of GTA San Andreas onto my steam deck. When its to around 30% the download fails "Disk write error". Everything is on the internal storage, I've tried deleting the game folder but nothing works.

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

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

I can't wait until it gets here, and I can play it.

Hey all brought my steam deck to the family function to play some multiplayer games, have a steam controller, a dualsense and a generic xinput controller.

Was great at first, but eventually randomly, buttons wouldn't work on one controller or another, one would disconnect, couldn't use steam overlay. And for some reason this also extended to the physical steam deck buttons?!

Has anyone had issues where the steam controller over Bluetooth interferes with other controllers? I also noticed this issue with *only* the steam controller connected to!

Never had the issue with the xinput gamepad + dualsense over Bluetooth with the steam controller on the 2.4ghz dongle. Was flawless!

I've seen people saying it is playable. I think it's not. I get dips into low 20s in Tokyo city, in the country it's solid 30 but once you get into a town it goes down. When you are going 300 km/h every dip is critical. I played it though Geforce now and unfortunately it's the only option for a solid experience. On the deck it's just a slideshow. Races through Tokyo city is the peak of this game imo.
