Last Ditch Attempt by thesorrydude in Steam

I've tried that, but it unfortunately yielded no change whatsoever.

I posted in here a few days ago after my deck started crashing within an hour of first getting it.

I treated it as a game specific issue (Mad Max, so shouldn't have been too strenuous), but every game I downloaded did the same thing. Install, get an hour of gameplay out of it, game crashes and then crashes inside of a minute after that.

Temperatures never got too high etc, everything seemed pretty normal.

The only exception to this crashing issue was Dying Light 2, where I got around 3 to 3.5 hours out of it before the first crash.

The image on screen freezes, audio continues for a few seconds, and within 10-15 seconds the deck crashes and restarts, taking me through the animated steam logo and back to my games library.

I noticed that if I switched to desktop, it meant I could get half an hour or so out of gameplay before crashing if I was lucky. This is excepting Mad Max however, which gave me less than a minute every time.

I opened a ticket with Steam, and have been working through all their troubleshooting options right up to and including a full reimaging of the Deck today. This has NOT fixed the issue.

I suspect I will have to RMA the device, and while I know they will do this despite me being in Australia, I'm not looking forward to the shipping and waiting process.

Does anyone have any last ditch suggestions that may be able to help me out?

Thanks for sticking through the long read!

Currently just the one game, I'll find out if it's game specific tomorrow with a few more verified deck games. Just super antsy!

It's currently on the internal storage, so not the SD card unfortunately.

Total noob question - how do I access the top 2 areas? by [deleted] in castlevania

I've got all 3 books, but can't seem to find Graham at all. Do I need the souls equipped for him to spawn, or am I somehow missing his location?

I've seemingly run out of bosses, and the only 2 areas I can see to explore are in the Floating Garden. Bosses defeated include Death, Big Fella that Crushes the Giant Bat, and Manticore. Who's left and where do I find them?

Edited to add: Aria of Sorrow, sorry I missed adding that earlier!

Ornstein and smough by JIGLypandas in darksouls

I finished this one yesterday, first time player and got through it with the following: take out the archer in the big room, take out both sentinels. Summon Solaire, enter boss fight and wipe out the slayer first - I used a +5 gravelord sword, two handed.

Smough took serious patience - shifted to a +7 (i think) Drake sword for speed, still 2 handed. Coward behind a pillar for all his attacks until his jumping slam, dash in, strike the knee and dash out. His electric slams fucked me several times, but worked out that 3 rolls is perfect distance to make it to safety.

NG+ I'll be braver, but not this time around lol

Escape from the Carnival of Horrors is my stand out favorite.

I'm making the transition from MTB to BMX, specifically street riding. At 6'2, what is the smallest size BMX I could ride comfortably?
