Hey Steam Deck community. I’m hoping that I can get some help from the community....

Hello y’all, I’m at my wits end. I got the GoG version of BG3 (cause DRM free yay!), but for the love of me I cannot get it to work. I’ve done so much googling and so many workarounds, I’ve installed .net, I’ve skipped the launcher, I’ve used the alternate .exe, I’ve tried proton experimental and 8 and hotfix, but...

And a SSD I guess....

Just got my steam deck and I found that the joysticks are very stiff so I decided to use left track pad for movement｡ But I couldn’t find a comfortable hold of the thing if I tried to access the middle of the pad....

TL;DR: Steam briefly showed options to buy refurbished Steam Decks for the following prices:...

The steam deck feels very heavy holding it in everyway. It feels the heaviest in its hand grips. Does that feeling go away? It feels like I’m trying to hold a laptop.

I spent way too much time troubleshooting BG3 on my Steam Deck because it would not start, and when it finally did it had no sound....

I’m looking for some nice local co-op games for 2-4 players. Please tell me your favourite ones that work well with controllers on a docked Steam Deck!...

Any major issues?

Hi all, I have an interesting issue that I’m hoping can be solved. I have a pair of Anker Soundcore A40 earbuds and they connect fine to the Deck. However the Deck doesn’t pick up on the microphone input at all - I’ve had a look under input devices and it fails to show up. Is there anything I can do (packages, drivers etc)...

Edit: This isn’t about this specific game in particular! The point is that install folders are just disappearing when they shouldn’t....

Anyone else using the main channel update and has issues with waking the deck from sleep? Mine goes to a black screen every single time. Also non steam games don’t close properly and are stuck on „exiting…“...

I’ve collected tips from around the internet and rolled them up into a single post...

In case anyone’s having connectivity issues like I was, I thought I’d share what fixed it for me....

Have you upgraded your internal storage? How did it go? Did you reinstall steamOS from scratch or clone the original M.2/eMMC?

I have an X-Arcade dual joystick that I’m trying to use with Arcade games via EmulationStation on the Steam Deck....
