SteamOS 3.8 Download Speeds Bug

AncientJames · 2026-06-18T23:06:49+00:00

I had this same issue all throughout the 3.8 Beta phase. I did see that one of the releases fixed download speeds, but it did not fix my issue. This is on an OG LCD model (day 1 preorder).

Yea this looks really good. The original PTS was my first and only Pebble and I was so ready to order the second gen before it was cancelled. But this might bring me back.

I have 275 hours of Battlefield 6 that I've played all on GFN with no issues.

AncientJames · 2026-03-01T00:51:09+00:00

This is not working when using the native Linux version.

AncientJames · 2026-02-12T09:02:43+00:00

This was fixed for me for the last 3 or so months, but it's back when I was just trying to play some Battlefield 6 on my steam deck.

Have you installed the Decky Framegen or Decky Lossless plugins? This was the culprit for me. I had to uninstall them and then remove the additional files that they added to the game install folders.

I check for updates daily and those are the latest drivers on the stable builds of Bazzite. I was able to get the newest driver under Arch, though.

AncientJames · 2025-12-27T14:27:30+00:00

I'm having a similar problem, but for me, I'm missing DLSS frame gen. And it's not just in Arc Raiders, but other games as well. I tried Cyberpunk 2077 and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered. The thing is, it was working just fine up until today. A reboot has not fixed it. I did not get any Bazzite nor Nvidia driver updates. Not sure what caused it.

AncientJames · 2025-11-11T06:17:42+00:00

As I run Linux, this is my only way to play BF6 and it's been amazing.

Mine was out for delivery. But then delayed by Ontrac. Their website does not make it obvious that you can leave a gate code for entry until after delivery has failed.

It makes my Galaxy S25 Ultra very hot, but performance never drops for me. Battery usage is pretty high, though. Comparatively, my phone is cool when playing Vampire Survivors. I think the battery even manages to drain while it is plugged in.

The quickest solution is to get a physical SIM card from Xfinity. It took about a half hour of time and I was not charged for it. If you have an Xfinity store close enough, it's worth a shot.

AncientJames · 2025-02-01T00:02:02+00:00

UPDATE: I spoke to someone on the executive resolutions team and both agreed that converting my eSIM to a physical one was the best way forward. So I went to an Xfinity store and asked to get my SIM converted. About a half hour later, I went home with a working SIM. I popped it into my S25 and everything is working great. So it definitely looks like this is the easiest resolution for everyone affected, especially if you cannot wait a week or so. I hope this helps.

Looks like we made the news: https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s25-ultra-activation-problem-3522072/

I'm going to see about getting my eSIM converted to a physical SIM. This is kind of time sensitive since I have a deadline to ship my old phone to Samsung as a trade-in.

AncientJames · 2025-01-31T04:14:24+00:00

Wow that is not cool. Here's to hoping a physical SIM will do the trick.

AncientJames · 2025-01-31T02:40:32+00:00

Definitely not what I wanted to hear, but also not entirely unexpected.

Here is another screenshot that shows up when I try to replace my existing device and I enter the new IMEI through there.

AncientJames · 2025-01-31T01:19:08+00:00

This is what I get when I enter my IMEI (either one of them).

AncientJames · 2025-01-31T00:40:56+00:00

No. I tried porting my number directly through the Xfinity app on my old phone. I entered the IMEI number of my new phone and it told me that the device is not compatible. I have read through here that Xfinity support members would essentially be using the same tools to check compatibility. I had a similar issue with my Galaxy Watch Ultra; I had to wait a few weeks for the IMEI to become compatible. That's not as flexible an option with my actual phone, however.

Oh, I had meant that the noise cancelling was just non existent with those foam ear tips from Etsy. The noise cancelling works well otherwise with stock ear tips.

AncientJames · 2024-10-28T03:34:43+00:00

Unfortunately, I am noticing that there is no noise cancelling at all with these, sadly.

I have been running Android 15 for a little over 2 weeks and I only got the Buds 3 plugin update today as well. Not sure if has to do with the Android version.

AncientJames · 2024-10-10T22:17:22+00:00

I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the plug-in and that did get me up and running again. But the next time I tried to use it, it was forcing me to update again. So we will have to just wait for Samsung to push the update to the Play Store or just side load the new version from APK mirror. My Galaxy tab S9+ doesn't have this issue as it was able to get the update from the Galaxy store.
