I was literally playing cyberpunk 2077, phantom liberty with no issues up until I updated from 3.4.11 to 3.5.5 less than a day ago… so it’s been ~ 19 hours, I didn’t change any settings. I booted up the game and played for a few minutes then it crashed. I didn’t think much of it just went on about my day. Then a little later I decided to play again and realized there was a problem. I can’t play, it just keeps freezing - ranges from refusing to get past title to reloading a save, then freezing (and I have to force quit) to just causing my whole steam deck to crash and reset itself.

I tried rolling back and was able to - by accessing the efi boot menu, then I followed instructions to set the boot to be persistent in konsole. Low and behold the problem persists. So I don’t understand, what changed? it seems the update did something and I’m baffled, That’s the only game I’d been playing and it should work just fine so it’s a hard problem to ignore. I feel tricked, I didn’t need to update. I feel like this was something for the deck OLEDs and now I have to suffer because of it - when I was happily gaming on my LCD steam deck prior to updating.

I want my steam deck back.

    I knew i wasn’t the only one. I also have been having issues where games I could play would not get past the load screen or will load up let me play a few minutes and then crash and in fact I had it verifying files and it crashed. I also had it crashed just sitting with steamos open. I have never seen steam deck once yet crash just sitting in steamos nor have I ever seen it crash during verification of files. And when it does that, likely more errors will get created. I don’t understand within less than 24 hours of updating it from 3.4.11 that it went to 3.4.5.5 I updated to 3.4.11 I came home from work that night and there was an update for 3.4.5.5 " When god closes a door, he also breaks a window… "

    Edit: I play plugged in to a dock with fans on it and I noticed that the LCD screen since the update gets very hot to the touch. That could just be the GPU but it also happens when im not playing a game, downloading or some other process (that im aware of) heavily running the board.
