Will this break compatibility on the Steam Deck?

Are you having any problems activating diagonal d-pad presses on your OLED?

BOE OLED (1TB LE). No dead pixels or any other screen issues after a few days of heavy usage.

Hijacking top comment for an alternate method if, like me, you want to avoid getting your oily fingerprints on your nice new OLED screen whenever possible:

In these cases where the Deck is telling you to use the touchscreen, you can always hold down either the Steam button or the Quick Access Button (three dots) and drag your thumb over the left or right trackpad to move the mouse cursor. Then press Right Trigger to click mouse.

If you can, please post a bug report in the Steam Deck forum: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1675200/discussions/1/

You don’t necessarily need to include the photo, just the model of your display, your Deck firmware version, and a brief description of the problem. If you can also find the current firmware version of your display, that would help too.

I’ve also had problems with an external monitor previously and I think there’s a better chance of it getting fixed if Valve is made aware of which displays aren’t working.

Also I want to point out on all “tech” “analytics” and reviewers who were also silent about these issues.

Or maybe they didn’t encounter them?

You’d better have a damn strong belt on though, otherwise good luck keeping your modesty intact.

I love that this is an official feature, but it’s straight up not working for me. It switches to the Steam Deck logo with the little loading circle at the bottom and it stays frozen like that forever, no matter how long I wait.

Will Valve be able to do that prior to getting things like VRR working with Nvidia GPUs? I don’t know what most people would consider essential functionality when it comes to OSes, but I’d think that if Valve released it for general use and there were core features like that missing, the reception wouldn’t be great.

That was my first attempt, but for whatever reason SteamOS does not come with a firewall pre-installed. The firewall settings window suggests installing ufw or firewalld, but neither is available for SteamOS.

Thanks. This looks like it will work well for non-Steam applications so that’s half the problem solved, but is there also some way to toggle internet permissions for games and apps downloaded from the Steam client?

Assuming it sells out quickly tomorrow, which I would bet any amount of money will absolutely happen, I expect it won’t be very long at all before Valve offers new color scheme options, just as they’ve indicated.

In fact, that’s the only reason I’m personally hesitating as to buying this one or not, because I’m worried that the next available color options are going to look even cooler.

I assume he’s using Game Pass cloud streaming, in which case I think that this makes the setup process fairly painless.

Fellow FreeTube admirer.

The only place further is Antarctica

Oh man, imagine Gabe Newell personally delivering an OLED Deck to that one guy using Steam in Antarctica. Now that’s a video I’d want to see.

Action-RPGs without controller support. They’re truly impossible to play on the Deck without a mouse and keyboard.

That’s so frustrating honestly. This was my issue with the LCD Deck also - I was happy to pay for the top-end model, but I wish they would have made the etched glass coating optional. Now though, I don’t know anyone who’s ever said the anti-glare aspect was a noticeable benefit, so with the OLED Deck Valve should have just dropped it completely and maybe lowered the price of the 1TB model by $10 or whatever.
