Are you on the latest versions?Oh no, wifi really is fucked on my deck, been reading all the potential solutions and tried all of them and none worked.
You might also go the Desktop mode and see if you can make it work there.

Yeah latests stable version, should I go for beta updates?
It seems stable now but its stuck on 2.4ghz so its slooooow. Not sure why it works, it used to do the same on that before but now been on for some time.
Tried out the following yesterday:
Especially how fast it is to load and launch games!
- DUSK
- Puyo Puyo Tetris

Tried some more demanding games, like Deaths Stranding and Resident Evil 2 Remake , and wow I have to say I'm quite impressed what this machine can do! Also happy that locked 40 doesn't feel too bad!
I think locked 30 is also quite good for games that don't feature action heavy combat. I'm playing Cold Steel III at 30 FPS, and nice to see the game barely go above 11W, and most often stay at 8W, essentially giving you somewhere between 4 to 5 hours of battery life.
40 Hz feels great, but I find 48 to be a sweet spot if the game can handle it. If someone showed me a game running at 48, I would tell them it's running at 60. It's pretty much indistinguishable from 60 without a direct comparison.
I tend to go between 40 and 60.
30 is just not a good experience for me, mostly. Even in Return to Monkey Island the camera panning at 30 distracts me.

You are talking about the Performance tab of the Quick-Access menu? This video should cover the basics (it is timestamped):
If you have any questions, quote me and I will do my best to explain.m
I bought two more games I already owned on Switch to play on the Deck: Mega Man 11 and Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. If I don't watch it, I'll end up rebuying my entire third party Switch library.
Kioxia need to release the 2tb 2230 NVMe they’re talking about.

Great news and well deserved. The device seems to have gained a lot of momentum among gamers and the gaming industry, there are a lot of devs and game journalists tweeting about Steam Deck. Most importantly, almost everyone loves it. A brilliant move by Valve.
super interesting talk, and I didnt know Valve funded so much of KDE development. its really nice to hear
yup, good stuffsuper interesting talk, and I didnt know Valve funded so much of KDE development. its really nice to hear
What are you guys experience with the sleep mode?
I tested a game earlier today, played for like 10-15 minutes (nothing battery intensive) then turned off the game and put the deck into sleep mode.
I jacked in the charger and left the deck for maybe half an hour. When i came back, the charging light was off, so I unjacked the charger.
5 hours later I boot the Deck and the battery is now at 86%?
Either it didn't charge correctly or (what I think) quite a bit of battery was drawn from just sleeping in the Steam menu.

it does drain in sleep mode. i have my Deck in sleep mode all the time and it drains ... i should probably turn it off properly more often
i think it also drains when at full power/plugged in, for battery longevity reasons
Guy @ work got one and it's a pretty sweet little thing, nice and speedy and beautiful and premium feeling in pretty much every way, from the screen to the back buttons, and it's so light too. For the price you'd only get some shitty celeron laptop. I want that interface in Steam Big Picture already.
Playing Control on the Deck. Played for about 1,5h and still had around 56% battery left. This is really a marvel!
It might be that I am just playing around and the steam deck is the new thing, but I haven't touched my desktop for gaming since receiving the deck. Heck, I can even play Civ5 on the thing without much trouble.
Somehow I was able to bypass queue
So guess try buy now even if you did reserve?

nice vid also here
I think why I like the deck so much is that it gives me that cozy feeling I had younger with my gameboy. I have so many good memories from then. So the deck has big shoes to fill!
I love the deck but didn't get the dock. Docking it means nothing to me lol. Just play on my main rig instead if I need to.I don’t even love the Deck as much as I thought… and bought the Dock ASAP.
And good thing the whole process of selling it bores me because now that they have better availability I‘m of half a ming of buying the high end sku.
What would it be if I loved the Deck
Yeah I kind of don’t get why everyone is getting the dock, don’t people have gaming pcs?
but yeah I can see if someone wants to connect to main tv and such.
personally I only want to use the deck as a portable, for those times when I want to take a break from the computer.

I couldn’t care less about the Dock as a PC, guys ! I just need a keyboard to save my soul when dealing with the linux side. That and I guess the gigabit ethernet.
Now that you mention it though, after all the shit gamepass and windows just threw at me… if I had more money I could see me buying an usb disk and using the Deck as my daily light use machine.
Same, I have no use-case for the Dock. My Deck is 100% handheld usage.I love the deck but didn't get the dock. Docking it means nothing to me lol. Just play on my main rig instead if I need to.
I use it as a living room console, I don't want to worry about batteries when playing in front of the TV, the dock is also useful at having wired networking and plugging periferals, like so:
I'm currently using a much smaller usb hub from Anker, but it's something I'll use regardless as ai can carry it around in trips, unlike the deck rock which is going to stay stationary
So, say I want to install a GOG game through the Heroic launcher. If the game does not have a Linux version, do I just install the Windows version, then add it as a non Steam game through the desktop mode Steam client?
And then I can just play the game through Steam Game mode, and Proton does the rest?

Yup. If you want to automate adding them to Steam, give BoilR a go as if you put a SteamGridDB API key in it’ll also pull library art automatically.
