Please mention whether you’re on stable, beta, or a different update channel. There’s a good chance most bugs on the stable update channel have been fixed already, so anyone on the beta update can let people know if the bug they’re facing is already fixed.

Sometimes when I scroll down with the d-pad it scrolls up instead, until it gets to the top, then scrolls down.

Also, I just today changed my timezone setting, but the clock didn’t update. I think I’m on stable, but not sure.

The default scroll settings now is circular scroll (where you move your finger in a circle on the track pad). If you don’t know it’s circular it will make it seem like it changes directions at times.

It used to default to swipe up/down to scroll, and the change in defaults has confused a lot of people.

But I’m talking about using the D-Pad, and it only happens occasionally.

Oh, also, another d-pad bug is with the keyboard, sometimes if I hold down a direction to highlight a key, it will only move one key at a time and won’t scroll over unless I tap a key with my finger, and then it’ll work normally. This one is pretty frequent.

  1. I usually use my steam deck as my PC with a external monitor in desktop mode, but Cyberpunk 2077 has audio cracking issues in desktop mode.
  2. When i unlock the steam deck in desktop mode, it requires a password input, but it cant use the screen’s virtual keyboard, i have to use an external keyboard to do that.
  3. The internet proxy settings in gaming mode still interfere with and conflict with the internet proxy settings in desktop mode.
  4. The Steam Deck in gaming mode can’t use a system screenshot shortcut with the keyboard, so I have to switch to the Steam Deck’s gamepad to take a screenshot when I’m using the keyboard.
  5. The Steam Deck updates in desktop mode seems almost endless; I get the notifications almost everyday I log in.

The weird jumping/flickering animation when pressing play on a game in gaming mode and “Launching game…” appears.

Doesn’t have any impact on actually launching the games but it’s just annoying.

Thought it was Decky at first but I’ve tried disabling it and it still does it.

The one where the zoom animation plays several times in quick succession? Yea, I get that bug too. Very annoying.

Huh, I’ve had mine for a couple weeks and only saw it for the first time yesterday, after an update…

Sometimes when I go into Desktop Mode, X11 doesn’t have any screens. The deck just sits there with a black screen, until I ssh in and kill plasma

There was a bug with that, caused both by Decky Recorder and by having Valve’s own game recorder turned on. Uninstalling Decky Recorder and making sure the built in recorder is turned off before entering desktop mode seems to fix it.
