Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Zanebrunette Zane (@Zanebrunette) reported

    @Steam How easily could you fix the sticks if they get busted? Like is it doable?

  • SpeedStriker SpeedStriker (@SpeedStriker) reported

    @Steam @VJ_frmk Switch Pro: Haha. I'm in trouble.

  • MegaSpeedRed Mega Speed Red (@MegaSpeedRed) reported

    @Steam Looks interesting but already i have a problem with it. what ******** with that button layout?, was it really neccessary to sacrifice a good layout for some touchpad ****?.

  • Wacho51 Wacho (@Wacho51) reported

    @Steam Sorry Steam, the proposal is good, but it looks uncomfortable, you must bear in mind that there are players with hand problems, and this would worsen their playability.

  • konatizer kona (@konatizer) reported

    @SquirrelKiev @Steam Proton has been in development for years and they're just now getting to this? I can't say I trust they'll resolve this issue before the deck's release.

  • RosaWasClaimed Rosa (@RosaWasClaimed) reported

    @Steam Fix the button layout and this looks really nice

  • jesterx64 Jesterx64 (@jesterx64) reported

    @downrightdpad @Steam I mean, it's just under a pound and a half. That shouldn't be an issue for nearly anyone. It's 100 bucks more and has more than double the horse power and double the storage with the base model and can play your whole steam library. My only complaint is the resolution.

  • safijari Jari Safi (@safijari) reported

    @Icewoolf365 @Steam $36 to buy a 512 gig micro SD card. Problem solved.

  • _BitMan BitMan 🔜 BLASTER MASTER ZERO 3 (14 DAYS) (@_BitMan) reported

    @TheMrMo_ @Steam actually it might I bet Cemu or one of the Switch emulators would work no problem

  • efrenventura efrenventura (@efrenventura) reported

    @groganard @Steam On IGN video mentioned that you can put Windows without a problem

  • MBerns9 Bop Guy (@MBerns9) reported

    @AndrewBavaro @Halo @Steam You can fix this by changing your task bar setting to show all desktops.

  • BanjoSteamboat Tails (@BanjoSteamboat) reported

    @Steam finally no more lag

  • prolobrt bryinabrt (@prolobrt) reported

    @Rooflemonger @HJayZ91 @Steam except this isn't a switch and it has far superior hardware, and because it's basically a PC, there will be far less input lag compared to other consoles

  • safijari Jari Safi (@safijari) reported

    @ArylnCh @Steam Pretty much every streaming service will run on this (maybe not ps now unless you install windows first)

  • AndrewBavaro Andrew Bavaro (@AndrewBavaro) reported

    @Halo @Steam You need to fix the latest season 7 bug: pressing windows key or alt+tab causes mcc to disappear. Still shows in task manager but you can't get back into the game! It's the worst!

  • TheFlo84 Florian Brenninger (@TheFlo84) reported

    @Steam @der_Zote For some Reason i think there is a huge Lag built into it. And thats is not good. It might be just me but i doubt it. Something seems off. Hope you can sort it out. Other then that… ok. But Lag would kill this for me. There is no worse Thing then that.

  • zebraramtin ram7in (@zebraramtin) reported

    @Steam I’m sure valve is much smarter than you keyboard lawyers and have all their issues covered in this project

  • CuddlePotato Emphabet and Welcome to The Dark Hour (@CuddlePotato) reported

    @Cymen90 @Steam But I can't move the buttons The problem isn't what they're bound to, it's where they physically are on the machine If I want to play steam games with a controller I'll just play them at my computer, solvable with a peripheral means it doesn't work on its own

  • MarcHattem Mooze Likes naps (@MarcHattem) reported

    @BPropellors @Very_0wn @Steam At 720 it has no problem running most games. All that power can go to graphics instead of driving a larger resolution.

  • beinfoolish anders. (@beinfoolish) reported

    @Lizardguy17 @JustAnLED @Steam Why the hell would I ask for the same switch re-released that fixes none of the problems of the previous release? I'll wait for a Switch 2 lol and probably throw a preorder down on the cheapest option for the steam deck as well.

  • TheLastDonut TheLastDonut (@TheLastDonut) reported

    @Steam Wait wait wait wait, these are pc games we're talking and these days huge updates can be a huge issue, what are our options if we buy the base model?

  • HJayZ91 Mr. Jones (@HJayZ91) reported

    @Rooflemonger @Steam Could this help with moving the FGC towards PC? No different specs and variables(to change the amount of input lag), console price point and will run any Windows 10 fighting games

  • TheOldBug TheOldBug (@TheOldBug) reported

    @Steam #SteamDeck Valve Index Controllers have tremendously high chance to fail with drift issue, was that issue fixed? What if sticks will start drifting here too? You can't just replace them, are you prepared for non stop RMA processes?

  • chavez90988 JustAnother (@chavez90988) reported

    @downrightdpad @rougesome @Steam Medical bills for carpal tunnel sounds like a Country problem to most

  • alasterc_ Alaster C. (@alasterc_) reported

    @Steam If the answer to this problem is to stream the games from my computer, then I would instead: 1. Use my phone with the Steam Link app; or 2. Play them on my computer!

  • ShempTheNight ShempTheNight (@ShempTheNight) reported

    @Halo @Steam Do not buy this game. It is still broken, it is still so very very broken. And The Devs have clearly not listened to any of the feedback we've provided. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this. It is not worth $40 it is not worth half off.

  • b133d_4_u Lord of the 'Pais (@b133d_4_u) reported

    @downrightdpad @Steam I never play my Switch without some kind of resting platform like a table or my legs anyways, so weight doesn't matter. I can finally play my Steam games portably and I don't have to rebuy games I already own just to do that. 3rd party wraps will be out in months if it's an issue

  • Retiring Jupiter (@Retiring) reported

    @Jadenfire @Natjacksy @Steam you can install windows on it and forget about compatibily problems

  • ISOUP6 ISO-UP (@ISOUP6) reported

    @luke_luckyshot @PapaWeeners @Steam I think Valve actually fixed Proton to play multiplayer games with anti-cheat, but they have not released this version yet. The devs were pretty confident in their interview with IGN that we can play all multiplayer games with no problem whatsoever.

  • SeiberSaiban Seiber Saiban (@SeiberSaiban) reported

    @Steam Tempting, but my number one general complaint about steam is having to sign in just to play a game even it's just for the single-player experience. The convenience is great, but it does not translate well in portable form.
