Valve has launched another small update for the Steam Deck with SteamOS 3.6.6 Preview now available for testing which may be essential if you're playing ELDEN RING.
  • Fixed a an issue with a rare session crash during early startup of ELDEN RING
  • Fixed a general issue affecting all units on 3.6, and OLED units on 3.5, causing a slow memory leak during gameplay
  • Fixed a DSP firmware crash with previous 3.6 versions that could result in internal sound disappearing until next reboot
  • Improved responsiveness of session restart in case of session crashes caused by certain GPU errors
  • Fixed an issue that could cause videos to stutter in titles such as BlazBlue Centralfiction

Some pretty good fixes. Unfortunately you’ll need to be on the beta/preview channel to get them, but hopefully it won’t be long before they come to stable.

        It never connects on the first try when plugged into the Deck. I always have to plug/unplug the Power, USB, and HDMI cables to get it to switch over. This has been tried with multiple displays, multiple HDMI cables, and with Steam support. If you look on the Steam Community forums, this seems to be a common issue with some of the early Docks and Valve, for whatever reason, has no answers. I finally got them to replace it after nearly a year and only after the warranty is over so I have no idea if it was a defect or something else. Both Docks that we ordered have the same issues, though.

          That was a common issue for me on an older build of steamOS, but I almost never have any issues with it anymore. Sorry to hear you’re still having issues with it.
