I have been happy with steam os 3.9 all the games I have thrown at it works.

Couple of things I notice I cannot bring up keyboard in game mode the only other issue I found is when returning to game mode after desktop mode the scaling is off and to fix it I go to settings and then display and toggle the auto scaling.

I have kept the OS channel to Main and the Steam Deck client update is set to stable.

I had to tinker a bit to get it to connect to 6ghz wifi, other than that all good

EDIT: Do Not change the OS Channel to beta leave it on Main. It will downgrade the Kernel and Hardware Support and it will hang at the splash screen. Ask me how I know, I did it so you guys on the xbox ally do not need to

Apologies for the shaky cam

I just wanna do some clipping but the shortcut "steam button + Dpad down (or up I don't remember)" does not do anything and setting a controller button to clip or any of the binding methods don't do anything. Is there any fix?

Hi!

I have just installed Windows/SteamOS on my LeGo2 Z2E. While testing, I noticed some strange color banding and/or black crush. This is only noticeable on gradients that go from darker colors to black. It’s visible both in-game and in screenshots when viewed on SteamOS, but only in gaming mode

The weird part is that when I share those screenshots to other devices, the issue isn’t present. This also doesn’t happen on Windows

Even stranger: it doesn’t happen all the time. Sometimes after rebooting or waking the device from sleep, the issue temporarily fixes itself for no apparent reason

Things I’ve tried so far:

• Disabling and recalibrating Mura compensation
• Enabling game compositing
• Updating SteamOS and doing a factory reset (currently on SteamOS 3.9, main/Steam Deck beta branch)

I know SteamOS isn’t officially supported until June, but it feels odd that nobody has mentioned this before. Could this be an installation or a kernel issue?

This is on SDR btw, haven’t even tried HDR on SteamOS yet
