Hi I know it’s a stupid question but this is the second time that my Steamdeck has been returned (For free so big thanks to Valve for their after-sales service) and so I asked myself a stupid question, what are the others doing so as not to bug their integrated controller ?

So I would like to know what you do:

-Do you use DeckyLoader ? (If yes with which plugin)

-Do you play games with lutrice or heroic games ?

-Do you often leave the deck in sleep mode ?

-Do you leave your deck plugged in often ? (like next to your bed or in the living room)

-Do you use the deck like a computer by installing software and using it on gaming mod like Krita or internet browsers like Opera ? (What software do you have ?)

-Do you often use the deck (for game and more) for big sessions of 2 to 3 hours nonstop ?

(Spoiler alert I do all of that)

Here I am asking to avoid making the same mistake twice… thrice… and enjoy my deck again without being an idiot.

    It does not void the warranty, but I meant to say that it´s just not officially supported. Community maintained projects like that can often exhibit less-then-ideal user experiences, people could interpret that as being “broken”. From the sound of it that´s not the case with you though :) What kind of issue did you have that the cause might be the controller firmware?
