Thanks the info! There's a lot of system updates coming in, which is good but it kinda feels like the system is incomplete. I've been using Steam Deck for about a year and it's still a mixed bag. My deck occasionally causes sleep mode,game freezing, and internet connection issues. On top of that, the pre-shader compilation thing is a bit frustrating... That's why I still prefer to use my Switch when playing "on the go". What about you guys?
That's totally fair. I believe we are still in a beta-like phase with the device as a whole. I have those issues sometimes too, but I am happy with how active Valve is on updating and the support. But the feeling of it feeling incomplete is not a stretch at all.
