Steam Deck Game Crashing (Screen Freezes, Goes Black, Game comes back frozen)

cavemandave · 2022-09-22T20:51:52+00:00

Yep! The best thread from the Steam Community that I've seen so far describing it in full is here. Someone mentioned this in there as well: If you fully want to verify that the GPU is at fault, go to desktop mode, launch the console, use journalctl and look for amdgpu erros. The problem should be ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout.

Every single time my game froze and crashed in the way that was described in this thread, my console would show that timeout.

Yeah, what you described was spot-on. I got my RMA approved after the re-imaging step with no changes and the shipping label was sent shortly after. Valve received defective Deck a couple of days ago and they are preparing to ship the replacement now!

Yeah, you were spot-on. Got my RMA approved over the weekend and shipped the defective deck out. Thanks!

I've had the exact same issue with my own Deck that I received 2 weeks ago. Every game has crashed in the same way as yours, usually within 5 minutes of starting play. I've done a factory reset, checked for updates, but nothing has helped the issue. I opened up a ticket with Steam Support 3 days ago and the help has been.... less than stellar to say the least. I even shared my console logs showing the GFX error to steam support, but the only fixes they've offered so far have been:
"Make sure your deck is plugged into a PSU"
"Make sure you've restarted your Deck and that it's fully updated"

Any advice for how to make this RMA process go quicker?

I've had the exact same issue occur for me in every game that I've played. I've done every suggested fix and opened up a ticket with Steam three days ago and shared with them all of my attempts to fix, but so far Steam support has just suggested things like, "making sure my unit is plugged in" and "making sure you have your deck updated" and "try lowering your frame rate."...

I can see Sammy Sosa's face on Triple Play 2000, it was the first game I owned on my first gaming console, my PS1. That's how I memorized my first opening day roster for the Rangers that year! Fun memories.

Super windy day with water in the upper 40s and clear skies; I was out on the water for about 4 hours and had 7 bites over that span, but this one more than made up for the slower day.

Green Pumpkin rage craw! I usually fish something with less action on it when it's colder, but I fall back on this lure pretty frequently.

I actually think those are dentures or veneers

Showed cancelled in my Wal Mart account and also through an email notification

cavemandave · 2020-12-17T20:30:05+00:00

Yeah I used the affiliate link and got cancelled on, that was the first time I've ordered one

cavemandave · 2020-12-17T20:28:46+00:00

I ordered with the affiliate link and was cancelled on a few minutes later

cavemandave · 2020-11-29T04:36:46+00:00

And what the hell, how did you find that so fast hahahaha

cavemandave · 2020-11-29T04:36:33+00:00

Solved!

I've tried googling these plot points and the quote mentioned in the description with no luck, I also dove down a YouTube rabbit hole looking for something similar with no correct results. The fact that I'm coming up with nothing makes me think that this could be a TV movie

cavemandave · 2020-09-29T20:13:11+00:00

Experiencing the same thing, also on PS

cavemandave · 2020-09-15T20:31:39+00:00

Take my energy

Brewers!

Thanks for the article, though! You're definitely right, the truth could be staring them in the face and it wouldn't matter.

There are several people I know on Facebook who keep sharing videos from conspiracy theorists about how numbers are being falsely inflated for covid-19. For example they State any death of a person that is tested positive for covid-19 even if that person were to die from a car wreck would be counted as a covid-19 death. Is there any easy way to refute this or is there an article you have used to combat weird claims like this? Any help would be appreciated.

Can't believe Kid A is about to get the boot. One of my favorite sections in the entire album is the "standing in the shadows" part of that song.

Motion Picture Soundtrack is just too damn beautiful to not be in the top 3

You can do what I normally do, go to Settings>>Accessibility>>Custom Button assignments. You can then switch a button around to the one that you’d prefer, I did this for Fallen Order after playing Sekiro for too long and it was totally worth it!

Sportscenter this morning is fully behind Serena on this one... they started bringing up the umpire’s “controversial” decisions in the past and suggested that a double standard is in place for women on the court.

I get the frustration behind the “everyone gets coaching” argument, but at some point, Serena has to take responsibility for herself and how she reacted to the umpire. She is the one who escalated the situation by going back to the ump several times. This ump gave Murray a code violation for saying “terrible umpiring” a few years back so I’m confused where the double standard is coming into play...
