Steam Deck CRASHING in-game? Try these things FIRST!
- Don't RMA straight away..
/ Remember these games are designed for Windows and are being actively translated as you play.
- First step, try running the game with Proton Experimental.
/ Give it a test run for a while, see how it goes.
/ If there's already improvement you might not need to carry on.
- Increase UMA Frame Buffer Size to 4GB
/ The next two steps will need you to go into the BIOS.
/ How do you do it?
/Shut down completely.
/ Hold Power + Volume Up at the same time until you here the first beep and let go.
- Sometimes changing to Battery Mode in the BIOS can help.
/ I don't know why this is, I just saw people on Reddit recommend switching into it.
- Check the install location, maybe the MicroSD card is struggling a bit.
/ Move the game file to the Internal Storage SSD and see if that helps in any way.
- VRAM
/ A lot of newer games chew up your VRAM
/ See if the game is using a lot of it.
/ Reduce graphics settings if they're a bit too high.
- Last resort..
/ Factory Reset
/ Re-Image of SteamOS
- Actual final resort.. if none of this helps, it's time for an RMA.
/ I had a good experience in the end, only took around 2-3 weeks and Valve sent a brand new unit, not had any crashes like before for a good few months now!
