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.
This problem has annoyed the shit out of me. At this point I don’t even want to play my steam deck anymore. The update is its not fixable and i don’t have the energy to dive deep into the internet and spend several more days trying to figure this out. A game should just work and a system should play a game you bought to play on it. It’s not like I bought pokemon for gba and thought oh it doesn’t work? No biggie I guess that’s normal. This has ruined my experience and by the time it’s fixed I won’t want to play anymore. It’s a combination of this problem is specifically with steam deck and me being tired of CP77 bugs after I was sold on the game is fixed. What a joke. at this point i’m ranting but pretty much i’m done and don’t want to attempt to play CP77 or even look at my steam deck anymore.
