    @Steam Oh nice looks really nice. Hey steam Would it be possible to look into steamvr app having trouble detecting quest 2 controllers using virtual desktop. I play skyrim vr with mods and launching with skse doesn't seem to work with steamvr app properly as it won't pick up controllers

    New purchase of NFS Most Wanted (Steam & EA App). Hangs on load. Many community members getting same issue. I noted AVG flagged 767324e.rbf blocked due to infected IDP.Generic (it's a new PC as well) is this the issue as a false positive? @Steam @EAHelp @AVGFree

  • DanHolli123 Daniel C Hollibaugh (@DanHolli123) reported

    @OnDeck @Steam Not until you give us the option of using old steam input. Not everything has been implemented including controller options for games Color options And fix bugs like hotbar virtual hotbar crashing Steam Input And give us the option to revert to BPM by -bpm or -bigpicture

    @JosephP98211335 @Steam Buy through a middleman service, you'll suffer extra fees though

  • AkiraJkr1 AkiraJkr (@AkiraJkr1) reported

    @fanthedeck @OnDeck @Steam There's also this one thing that seems to affect the Deck UI, at least from prior tests with it on Windows: Enable GPU accelerated web views. If it's not enabled, there will be problems. I'm not sure if the beta enforces it on.

  • sidusut SidusuC (@sidusut) reported

    @Steam I have an error on my steam deck where when I turn it on, it starts pressing random keys when the deck asks for my password. So much so I can’t even delete what it’s typing before it finishes and the deck tells me the password was not accepted. Thanks!

  • JuLuyang 1000Light (@JuLuyang) reported

    @Steam Have you solved the problem of unable to pay bills in the big picture mode?

    @MMan2042 @Steam It's a decent interface for using it on your TV. I tend to give up sometimes because of its terrible lag, but it has its use cases.

  • Dickon_Madden ♛~lindsay-loves-grey’s anatomy~♛ (@Dickon_Madden) reported

  • ttvPatDaddy PATDADD̶Y (@ttvPatDaddy) reported

    @IamWill614 @CallofDuty @Steam Well **** actually I stripped all my drives out to test some issues I was having so I can probably copy my save over from the game NVME that’s not in the computer while I test for issues.

  • the_realghostx RealGhost (@the_realghostx) reported

    @VidgyaG @OnDeck @Steam Idk man sounds like an internet/pc problem Most of the times when you're downloading a game, even though you might have a gigabyte down, your cpu is always the bottleneck

  • Hydrogen37 《Hydro》 (@Hydrogen37) reported

    @Steam Anyone have issues with logging in or steam guard? I’ve been trying to log into my account on steam mobile but I can’t get the steam guard code. When I try to “move authenticator” it either shows an error or sends me to the “verify via SMS” page that doesn’t send. It’s been days!
