merge,

I’ve been having an issue with my Steamdeck where the game I’m playing will hang. This happens across multiple games and at random times. The deck doesn’t seem abnormally hot and the OS itself is fully functional.

I found the answer on Reddit (pasted below so you don’t have to visit the link)


Whilst the Steam Deck is off please press and hold the Vol- & quick access button ( … ) then press power. When you hear it chirp let go of only the power button, keeping held of the Vol- & quick access button ( … ) till you see the Steam logo, then let go of those too. Done right it will take a while to boot (Stays on the Steam logo for a min or so). “

This does make me concerned that we will lose knowledge as people leave Reddit and potentially delete their content.

People have every right to remove their content so take the opportunity to record what you can while you can.

@merge For what it's worth, the Steam Deck community seems to be active on the Fediverse (posting this from kbin where we're slowly getting started, and existing communities are active on Sopuli and the Lemmy flagship instance) so hopefully the content gap will be filled soon.
