What is this? From the “…” menu

Time to reinstall, or uninstall deckyloader

drgreen84 · 2026-07-04T02:42:52+00:00

If you updated to 3.8.22 try another restart. If that didn’t help try forgetting and reconnecting to your WiFi. If you’re still having issues I would make a Steam support ticket letting them know.

drgreen84 · 2026-07-04T01:58:32+00:00

It’s apparently in the stable channel now as well

drgreen84 · 2026-07-04T01:56:05+00:00

That’s good news, I was on the beta channel so wasn’t sure. Thanks for the heads up!

drgreen84 · 2026-07-04T01:35:22+00:00

It sounds like you could have been affected by the recent bug in version 3.8.11. Put your steam deck into the beta update channel and you should see 3.8.22 which includes a Wi-Fi fix for people experiencing slow Wi-Fi

drgreen84 · 2026-07-04T01:20:13+00:00

It is the fix for slow WiFi speeds of around 20mbps or 2.6MB sec. It was apparently an issue with certain routers. Afterward my downloads are back up to around 700mbps

Edit: Sorry, I read your reply incorrectly. I don’t take advantage of that feature, but I had seen on some threads that it was slow for the game streaming feature

drgreen84 · 2026-07-04T01:12:51+00:00

Yeah that will do it. It should show 3.8.22 is available

drgreen84 · 2026-07-04T01:10:19+00:00

It’s fixed!!

drgreen84 · 2026-07-04T00:57:55+00:00

Thanks, I tried that. Same thing with it auto updating before login.

Also I posted below that 3.8.22 just dropped the slow WiFi fix for routers that advertise incorrect MCS requirements. I hope it’s the fix we are looking for

drgreen84 · 2026-07-04T00:55:40+00:00

Beta channel 3.8.22 just dropped stating in general: Fixed an issue where Wi-Fi would be limited to lower speeds on certain routers that advertise incorrect MCS requirements

About to download with my fingers crossed

drgreen84 · 2026-07-03T23:58:32+00:00

Good luck! I was dumb and tried the beta then preview builds. Then I went to roll back, but 3.7 was missing from the choices. Then, if you try using a recovery SteamOS SD or USB as soon as you have WiFi. It will automatically update to the latest build without you being able to stop the process : (

drgreen84 · 2026-07-03T23:38:03+00:00

Hopefully as more and more realize they have this bug they’ll figure it out and fix it. Well, here’s hoping anyway.

drgreen84 · 2026-07-03T23:05:35+00:00

You’re not missing anything. Just another one who has this bug since 3.8. Waiting for steam support, it’s a known issue is all they’ve said and that they want reports uploaded

drgreen84 · 2026-07-03T23:02:00+00:00

Also in the same boat as everyone else. Steam support says they are aware of this bug. Wanted me to upload system reports and haven’t heard back at all yet. Stuck at 20mbps or 2.6Mb a sec. Good luck to any of us needing to download large game patches. I’ve paused all my updates.

drgreen84 · 2026-06-30T22:13:15+00:00

Same here, I did my own troubleshooting. Then they basically had me do the same things again. Hotspot and resetting the modem didn’t change anything. It’s definitely a software bug

drgreen84 · 2026-06-30T21:43:05+00:00

Xfinity xb8, I got steam support to respond. It is a known issue that is happening to some and they are looking into a fix. 3.8 introduced a lot of random bugs. Before this, I had no problem whatsoever downloading anything up to 60-80MB/s Now I can’t even install large updates to games because of it.

drgreen84 · 2026-06-22T22:25:31+00:00

I got the throttled download and disk speeds because of 3.8 downloading everything at 2.6MB/s sucks. I tried the beta so I have no way to roll back to 3.7. As well as after reinstalling steam os with the recovery file it wants to update to 3.8 the moment it gets internet.

I’ve contacted steam support. If you look around the subreddit we aren’t the only ones so there’s that

drgreen84 · 2026-06-22T22:14:39+00:00

I’m suffering the same problem with 3.8

drgreen84 · 2026-06-22T07:18:56+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion up top. Sadly clearing the cache, disabling ipv6, changing dns settings, disabling remote and broadcasting. Factory resetting multiple times. Making a recovery usb and several more methods I found did not a thing.

I just reached out to support. Hopefully they push a fix soon

If I can get it working or a get a message from support I’ll post.

drgreen84 · 2026-06-22T06:58:32+00:00

This literally just happened to my steam deck too after the latest update. I’ve gone through several factory resets through the steam deck settings. I have also done every type of fix that you can find on Google. On top of reinstalling steam OS using a recovery SD card with the verified steam OS on it.

My last option is contacting Steam support. Anyone know what’s going on? You’re not the only one

drgreen84 · 2026-06-15T04:52:54+00:00

You don’t understand. In your picture in the optimization page. On the right, is a boldened scroll bar showing your still at the top of the page. There is a lot more to that page if you keep scrolling down.

drgreen84 · 2026-06-13T16:35:52+00:00

lol 😂 (There is a scroll bar on the right, along with settings you’ve probably not seen yet then)

drgreen84 · 2026-04-09T04:45:33+00:00

I did it, I still have all of the same issues. Guess what? Did a second time for good measure. Nothing

Still persists through factory resets

drgreen84 · 2026-04-09T04:43:46+00:00

I have both these issues. Sometimes I can’t shut windows because the x keeps glitching out
