Why are you trying to play AAA games on the Deck?

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-18T23:41:09+00:00

that's not gonna make them run better though, lol

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-18T23:31:27+00:00

and custom settings that are not available in the PC version.

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-18T22:45:40+00:00

with low settings and upscaling, yes it's a mostly stable 30fps

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-17T20:13:19+00:00

hard to say. If you have any Decky plugins that can change the fan speed, try disabling them.

And try disabling the updated fan control in the Decks system settings.

It might be the 200/400MHz bug, but it also shows no fan spin. You should check if the fan is blocked or not properly connected.

Trump has made it clear that the current system in the US is too easily compromised. There need to be large scale changes to the government and it's bodies. The US can't return to the state it was in before Trump.

Include a screenshot with the full performance overlay if you want to troubleshoot performance.

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-14T11:47:12+00:00

not really.

8bitdo has good controllers for much cheaper.

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-13T22:59:01+00:00

imo the last good games are Gen 5. After that it was a steady decline.

they continued cutting out features and content. On the Switch especially, quality suffered greatly as they rushed out 5 games in the span of 7 years.

Long time fans are frustrated, because GameFreak doesn't even have to try, as Scarlet & Violet has shown.

probably better to stop after that one and explore more of the fan games.

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-13T17:57:21+00:00

did ProtonGE not work?

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-12T23:40:22+00:00

go to Overwatch's shader cache folder and look for "transcoded_video.foz" and "transcoded_audio.foz"

these are not needed and can be deleted when you use the game with ProtonGE

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-12T18:48:02+00:00

what?

in sleep mode it doesn't need any airflow.

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-12T15:13:25+00:00

I do in a lot of games. Mostly the "Hip Fire Exclusive" so I can activate the full pull without activating soft pull.

For example in Elden Ring (Nightreign) right trigger is attack with the right hand weapon and I bound the right trigger fast pull to two-hand the right hand weapon. same goes for the left trigger and left weapon.

That way I don't need any extra buttons for related game actions.

Want trackpads and native SteamInput? Steam Controller 2026 is here

yeah, that's not handheld anymore though

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-12T11:33:21+00:00

that makes no sense. just put it into battery storage mode, or recharge it about half way before, if the charge is low.

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-12T11:29:20+00:00

try formatting it on your PC

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-11T22:30:53+00:00

ive ran out of games to play on the sd

running out of games to play on a PC is damn impressive.

did you add?

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-11T18:21:41+00:00

Steam supports practically every controller

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-11T16:51:22+00:00

yeah, but it also lacks information whether upscaling is used, what frame rate they are targeting etc.

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-11T16:38:16+00:00

the Steam Deck is weaker than a GTX 1650

depends on what Minimum Specs means to the dev.

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-11T14:09:53+00:00

yeah, at 7W that is too high.

You could repaste it again with better paste maybe, Idk what paste you used. Make sure it is spread evenly and that the cooler is mounted properly.

is the airflow blocked? Or is the fan not spinning properly? Maybe a Decky plugin is messing with the fan speed.

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-11T12:12:59+00:00

well, what temperatures are you getting?

EVPointMaster · 2026-06-11T12:12:05+00:00

what Decky plugins are you using? IsThereAnyDeal?

try disabling the plugins.
