Just curious what other people do. I always save and close my games before putting the deck in sleep mode. Not sure why exactly I’m just afraid something will go wrong.

Does anyone leave games open in sleep mode all the time? If so have you ever had any issues?

    Prior to the OLED, I had always been shutting down my LCD Deck between sessions. Starting with the OLED, while playing Hades (looks great on this new display) I decided to try the direct sleep route (with an active game session). However, I noticed I was getting audio crackles in game, after powering the device back on from sleep.

    So, I’ve now just resigned to leaving the game, and sleeping the Deck from the home screen (this doesn’t appear to cause any audio bugs upon restoring).

      It absolutely boggles my mind that Valve hasn’t fixed this bug after YEARS.
