Encountered a strange problem. The audio on my Deck is really quiet all of a sudden. Unless I set the volume at maximum, I can barely hear anything out of its speakers. The first 30-40% of audio levels also sound crunchy/unclear.
Anyone have ideas? I went into desktop and checked if the volume wasn't set low or something. Everything looks ok.
edit: I raised the levels of the "speakers" in the audio settings, then when reverting to "default" as the chosen audio device I was able to get louder sounds out of it, but the first two audio levels (i.e. the lowest/quietest two) have really scratchy sound now. I don't think that was the case before.
Does it sound okay on other people's units?
I really hope this isn't another RMA...

Got a Chiaki question. If I move my PS5 from one house to another temporarily, connect to the internet at that house (not using Chiaki), and then move it back to my original home, will that fuck with my Chiaki IP settings to where I will need to set it back up again? Or will it just still be plug and play when I bring it back to my house?
Assuming the IP address at the first house stays the same, it shouldn't.
Pretty sure LoL was trying to put the same anticheat as in Valorant that basically makes it impossible to use Linux on there.
I take back anything nice I ever said about displayport VRR on the official dock. Hooked it up to an MSI freesync monitor and its the exact same behavior as the C1, black screens and sync issues galore when VRR toggle is enabled. VRR/freesync just seems completely unusable right now, but props to Valve for keeping parity between DP and HDMI I guess.

PSA for Persona 3 Reload players to massively improve fps
We worked on this game today in vkd3d-proton and two fixes are in-flight for Hotfix/Experimental: - RT disabled by default for the game on Deck...

Valve did some work on P3R.
If I read this correct:
For RT use: SteamOS preview + proton experimental [bleeding-edge]
Non RT use: SteamOS stable + proton experimental [bleeding-edge]
Seems to run really well.
Depends on your network setup. Have you setup any kind of IP reservation on your router? Or setup static IP on your PS5.
If you do a mac address reservation then your router should only give your PS5 that IP address, so if you take it somewhere else then come back the IP should always be the same. If you set a static IP on your PS5 that should be fine when your in your own home, but when you take it somewhere else you'd need to change it back to DHCP more than likely as their network might not be the same IP ranges.
If you go into your routers web page, if there's a way to reserve an IP address to a MAC address do that. Then you can leave your PS5 on auto and ir'll get the same IP in your home.
Otherwise, when you come back if your PS5 has picked a different IP either rerun the Chiaki script and enter the new IP or set the PS5 as static IP at the old address (if some other device grabbed that IP address you may have to go reboot that device).
Personally all I do is set my PS5 to a static address thats a high number on my network, cause I can't do mac reservation. Generally the higher IP addresses are not the first to get dished out so I dont have to worry about another device taking that IP when I reboot or something.

Seems mixed From impressions. Better, but some still seeing drops below 30 in some areas with certain lighting.
This is true, within this year league of legends will no longer function on steam deck Linux. It will be using the windows kernel level anticheat. Riot has already commented on the situation and said that they have no plans to change course on that decision.
Those who have Disco Elysium, did you go with the default control theme or something from the community?

Apparently this is P3R running on Windows. Hope there's a Proton patch or something soon.

Yeah, I tried that. It's a slight improvement but nowhere near a steady 60fps in Tartarus.
Yup. selecting "manage" only closes the menu. Bummer.
But I do prefer uninstalling games through the settings.
My LE OLED has started exhibiting "creaking" when pressure is being applied to the right side. Is this an easy thing to fix?
Had this happen too me earlier today
Swapped to stable then back to preview to get it working again
Yeah the fact that it seems to run dramatically better in windows makes me think there will be patches.
My LCD Deck's case was pretty creaky.
What fixed it for me was buying a 3rd party backplate (I went with a JSAUX one on Amazon) and the creakiness was gone.
I read somewhere that applying some dielectric grease/keyboard switch lube on the clips fixes this issue.
try using one of those multi port adapters that has normal usb, and a usb-c input. I use my official apple multi port (usb a/b input for usb stick, and usb c to power adapter, just connect your steam deck adapter to it) and it worked fine. I also had issues trying to use usb sticks with those single usb-c adapters but had no luck.
No idea. Should be formatable through Desktop mode on Steam Deck though.
Also, I don't think Emudeck supports flash sticks - only internal memory or SD cards.
You don't need to use a USB drive at all. You can drag and drop from your Mac to the deck with an SMB share. I posted directions for you a couple of pages back.

Anybody elses Chiaki4Deck crashing the remote play often?
Feels like every other day Chiaki tells me remote play has crashed on the PS5 and I need to reboot the console. Can't connect on remote play via phone either. Only started happening since it updated with the fancy new UI.

Yeah, same. Not sure if it's the most recent chiaki4deck update, recent ps5 update, or both.
I don't use my Deck every day. Maybe twice a week I'll turn it on. Every time I do, it seems like EVERY game I have installed will have to update. Is this because I'm on beta or would it be the same if I wasn't on beta?
I don't like running a game while something is downloading so it's like each time I turn the Deck on, I'm sitting forever waiting for everything to update. Is this normal?

Shit just as I post this I find theres an update that specifically says it fixes this XD
Are you talking about the shader downloads? Lots of those all the time.
Eventually one day they'll stop. In theory.
The Steam Deck OLED is now my main hardware to play games. I pretty much only game on it nowadays. I have Lenovo Legion Pro 7 with a 13900hx and a 4090, but no, fuck it, I enjoy my Deck more. Worse offense though, I play nearly exclusively docked on my 55 inches LG CX. I love how small its foorprint in my living room. So easily to dock out and bring to my bed to end my gaming session if needed.
I am always surprised at how 720p is good enough for me when I sit 15 feet away from the tv. It looks fine enough to me. Games I can at 1080p, I do, but otherwise I don't mind.
And I am impressed at which games I can actually run! Yesterday I played Remnant 2, Dead Space Remake and The Callisto Protocol, and they all ran great! As someone who played games at below 20 fps frequently during the 90s on our old ass PC, a locked 30 fps is fine for me.
And today I played Tekken 8 and it looks AMAZING. And it runs at mostly 60 fps too!
Can't say how much I love my Deck really.

Very normal. Pissed me off at first then I just got used to it. I leave my Deck alone for the first 15min if I haven't used it in a while.
The default setting on the deck is no background downloads, so they'll stop downloading whenever you play a game. It's just shader caches that help smooth out shader loading and performance causing hitching during games, but just completely ignore them, they'll download when you're in the game mode menu or in desktop mode when not playing, but not when in a game unless you specifically allow that in the games properties.
