hi, just got one here the same model but with 3050ti and 8GB Ram, of course i want to upgrade the Ram and Storge, what would you advice me to buy i mean which type of them since i have no experience on that i am afraid to install something which is not compatible

Also, why do you think I Dont have Hybrid system on bios?
@Loaded03 күн бұрын
People have said that the hybrid graphics is only available on the 3060 models. If your laptop is the same year and model it should take DDR4. I have a couple of videos on ram upgrades but basically you want to search for “DDR4 sodimm 3200mhz”. Lower CL values are better but probably a little more expensive.

Hello, please tell me, I installed a single Windows 11 pro operating system without SteamOS , installed drivers in the Steam Deck version of LSD + Riva Tuner + Steam Controller has set everything up and installed the official Gta5 with Rockstar Games Launcher.exe I launched the Windows application via Steam, the game goes with artifacts and as soon as you get into the car, the game freezes , I tried a lot of internal game settings in riva tunere, I also tried it in stem applications for windows in windows power , everything is unsuccessful , what may be the reason for the artifacts and freezes , because all direcx programs are all fresh for my LSD model , what am I doing wrong?

If you used riva tuner to overclock the steam deck it could be causing your problems. You should try run the steam deck on stock settings and adjust in game settings so the game runs well.

Docking stations can be a bit weird because all behave a bit differently. I would try it directly attached to the Steam Deck to make sure it still loads. Then try a different port on the docking station. It might be dismounting once windows loads as it tries to load drivers.

In the boot manager i have two boot options for my sd card. One says batocera and the other has the sd card name. If i select batocera it boots fine, but when i change the boot position to removables, it doesn’t go straight to batocera but will show the blue screen trying to boot. I have to select it manually in order to boot inside batocera. I don’t know if it’s normal having two boot partitions showing in the menu. Is there a way to fix this?
@Loaded029 күн бұрын
I haven’t tried batocera on a SD card, but it sounds like you might have had two partitions on the card before installing batocera. I would try to make the whole card a single partition then try installing batocera on it again. Also initially batocera will only take a small part of the storage, but on first boot setup it should expand the space to use up all the available storage so it might have had a problem there.

I've downloaded all of the drivers from Valve -- in particular, the recent OLED drivers for my OLED Steam Deck -- but Windows doesn't seem to install them automatically.

I dont know who makes these, its 2024 and fairly simple apps dont work as they should. Maybe I am doing something wrong, its possible, but the app should be simple to use, start once and thats it, no hassle to make it work everytime something new is run on the steamdeck.

If you’re running your games through Steam or have Steam auto startup with Windows it could be the problem. It’s better to use the built in Steam Input in that case. Handheld Companion should mainly be used for games from other stores or launchers. Unfortunately Handheld Companion itself is basically a collection of individual software that all updates independently so things can break too.
