SteamOS 3.4.11 has been released to the Stable channel for Deck with the following changes:

Firmware 116

  • Improved robustness of the Firmware Settings Reset chord (Volume Down + Quick-Access + Power) against some boot hang scenarios.
  • Fixed a rare issue that would set the processor TDP limit too low causing CPU and GPU frequencies to be stuck at 400 MHz and 200 MHz respectively.
  • Fixed an issue when the charging light would turn back on when plugged in for a while after fully charged.

SteamOS

  • Fixed an issue where power button presses could switch games to keyboard/mouse mode.

We're going to see 3.4.99b before we get to 3.5

Be thankful Valve was able to release a version 3.x of anything!

The fix I wanted the most from the 3.5 changelog: charge LED staying off when done charging ๐Ÿ™Œ

I'm glad they're making the 400 MHz fix available to more people, but the fact that they felt a need to move that fix individually makes me wonder how far 3.5 is from Stable.

At least for me 3.5 is still incredibly unstable. Every time I test it I get a crash of the whole system about every second play session.

That's wild. I moved to Preview for 3.5 and it has been rock solid for me. I play a bunch of strategy games and emulation in case that helps.

Firmware updates are not really related to SteamOS updates, Valve just happened to group them.

So you mean that people that are on 3.5 preview will also receive the firmware update because it isn't already in the 3.5?

[-] woelkchen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The beta also had a firmware update included. Don't know if it was the very same or an earlier version.

I just want to be able to calibrate the touchpads outside of desktop mode, or at least the keyboard.
