  • 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.

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.

So, just to be clear, you can plug in the Steam Deck into the Dock and it shows up on the display right away without having to power up/down, plug/unplug, or press any button combos to reset controllers or put it into storage mode? Do you plug it in powered on or off? Can you hot-plug while a game is running or no?

I expected it to work more like the Switch where you plug it in and it switches displays but maybe my expectations are too high?

I use an Anker USB hub with power delivery and it's completely hot swappable, I would be incredibly surprised if the official dock wasn't.

It’s not. At least not the one that I have. That’s why I’m asking.
