Steam Deck

About a week these days. Usually it leaves the Netherlands and goes quiet for 4 days then lands in Ireland and the next days it's delivered. I'd say it will be Monday or Tuesday if you don't get lucky today 😜

Thanks for that. 72 hours no update now so must be delivered by land. I'll aim for Monday so. Gutted 🤣

Have a look in the settings there Should be a power setting to never sleep or maybe set it to 4 hours.

Anyone have to RMA their Stream Deck?

I've not been using mine much recently and now when I try the screen won't come on. It chimes, the fan and haptics come on, but no screen or backlight.

After a back and forth trying different things with Steam support they've initiated an RMA. It's off to Frankfurt and then on to Prague. Based on how long it took to get here from the Netherlands initially I probably won't see it for a month 😬

They got me to try a few different combos like Vol+ and Power, Vol+ and …, plugged in and out, holding for 10 seconds etc. but still no display.

I also tried a few things I read online like letting it drain over night, and I've held the power for over a minute like you suggested. No luck unfortunately.

They issued the RMA when I told them it won't turn off when plugged in and it comes on by itself (chime and haptics) when I plug it in.

Will be interesting to see do companies adapt their games to work on deck as it’s capabilities get left behind in current gen. Is the user base strong enough for that to be worth their while.

Was hoping to get Flight Simulator but it was still like €55 on sale. Got a €50 voucher for my birthday last month so I went with the classics. Outside of playing the first Left 4 Dead on 360 these are all new to me. Interested to see what does and doesn't work on the Deck with the older titles. The community control settings is a cool feature.

I'm probably the only person to pick 20 Minutes Till Dawn over Vampire Survivors!

I bought a deck a few days before this... Was a bit annoyed when I saw the price drop 3 days later!

But got onto support and chanced my arm to see of they'd refund the difference as my deck hasn't been delivered yet, and woke up this morning to it being credited to my steam wallet!

Whoop! Time to buy more games I don't need 😁😁😁

I didn't need it either... But I get far more time playing handheld on the switch in spurts at the moment, so thought this might fit that same scenario! Was reading on reddit and the consensus there was to get the cheapest version and swap the ssd, so that's what I bought and a 512 ssd ill replace for €80 (2tb someday in future if prices drop!)

The cheapest option is definitely worth it if you don't mind opening it up to add an NVME card in future, apparently it's pretty user friendly. If you don't want to do that, the 64GB is also fine if a 512GB SD card is enough for you. Realistically 512GB should be enough to download a handful of games on, there's only so many you can play at the one time so shouldn't be an issue for most.

Went with the 256 model, now to figure out as much as possible before it arrives to get the most out of it

Thanks

Dave

I went with the 256 version as I ordered the day pre orders opened and it wasn't clear what sd card performance would be like. If I had to buy again I would go with the 54gb version since thinking is half the fun for me. Hope they keep the 400 euro model for any future versions.

Brand new replacement Deck arrived today.

I sent the old one back via UPS and it was with them in 3-4 days. The new one was on the usual GLS slow boat from the Netherlands. Got the tracking number on the 13th, left Utrecht the next day, then nothing until it reached Ireland on the 21st.

Whoever delivered it left it outside my door at 7:45. I don't know if they knocked, but I'm glad it was still there when I woke up 40 minutes later 😬

Overall I'm happy with Steam support, less than 3 weeks from ticket to replacement and most of that was waiting on GLS.
