You can just set a custom resolution in the nvidia control panel, probably something similar on amd cards.

Half rate shading ticked by accident?

That’s normal, you’ll get an update soon.

Good work commander.

Probably, wouldn’t mind seeing some testing though.

Anyone tested the microsd port to see if it’s any better? It seems to require different windows drivers…

Control, runs really well, didn’t see anyone mention it which is madness!

Now I’m glad mine is still “awaiting collection” on the gls website… seriously though, nasty crash, driving is so dangerous.

Pretty sure they have automated tests, I don’t know how they slip through, maybe they only catch really bad ones.

Yes it’s normal, the noise is relatively quiet though on the steam decks I have had.

External display is blank External Display Safe Mode This mode will help if an external display is not lighting up when connected to your Steam Deck. When enabled, your Steam Deck will pick a low resolution and refresh rate for your external display to improve the chances of successfully lighting up the display. This may help in situations where the connection between the SteamDeck and the external display can’t reach full transmission speeds, e.g. when using a very long HDMI/DP cable, or the cable is somehow damaged, or there is some interference from external devices in the signal.

The best process to enable this is: Unplug the Deck from the dock/hub Set ‘External display safe mode’ to On in the Display menu Plug the Deck to the dock The display should now light up

I expect landscape if it’s based off the same screen technology as the switch. Although maybe the switch oled is a portrait screen so not sure…

Orange vents look bad though, a step too far.
