Script:
Fix Your Deck’s Wifi
Activate developer mode in the deck's settings.
Then there will be a new entry on the left side panel at the bottom for developer.
Go there, scroll down and find wifi power management and turn it off. It'll ask you to reboot. Done.
Download Games in Sleep Mode
Switch to Desktop Mode
Open Steam and start downloading a game
Go to system settings and search for sleep mode in the top left box
Go to the Energy Saving submenu
Under Screen Energy saving, pick a small option like 1 minute and start a game downloading
This is great if you’re downloading a big game or a few games overnight
Check out the updated Refresh Rate Slider
One of the biggest upgrades with the Steam Deck OLED was the new version of SteamOS
One of the biggest changes was to the refresh rate slider.
Before you could change FPS and refresh rate independently but now its unified and thanks to the 90hz panel on the Steam Deck OLED, whether you want to play at 30fps, 40fps, 60fps or even 90fps it’ll change the refresh rate automatically to match the frame rate you want.
So when you set it to 30, it’ll keep the refresh rate at 90 but if you set it to 40, the screen will set to 80hz.
I’ve always really liked the Steam Deck’s built in frame limiter but some people would use it in some games and not in others.
These days, I ALWAYS recommend using it for every game out there whether its a Steam Game or an emulated game through emudeck.
Get ProtonGE
I’m sure you’ve noticed that some games just don’t seem to work on the Steam Deck.
By default you can pick different versions of Proton and while in most cases, Proton Experimental will fix your issue, older games like Arkham Asylum still don’t work right out of the box.
That’s where Proton GE comes in. It’s basically a version of Proton that’s not handled by Valve so it can implement different tools that Valve can’t.
All you have to do to get it is head over to desktop mode, go to the app store and download ProtonUP-Qt
Then click add version and grab the latest version of Proton GE
Once they’re added, you’ll be able to select them in the compatibility menu in Game Mode which is great
And if you want to find out which games work better with Proton GE…
Bookmark ProtonDB
We all know how annoying it is checking reddit or youtube videos for the perfect Steam Deck settings.
Well, there’s a great website called ProtonDB that’ll fix all your problems
Literally every game on Steam has its own page, and people who play on the Deck will fill out a form explaining what settings they used, what proton version and any weird tips or tricks that might fix a game that doesn’t work.
A good example is a game like The Quarry which runs like ass on PC thanks to its launcher but by using ProtonDB I found a launch command that skips the launcher entirely
So if you’re ever stuck head there for a quick fix
Start Using Dual Track Pad Typing
Using the dpad and face buttons to navigate a keyboard is one of the big edges SteamOS has over Windows, but it’s still not great
But something that makes SteamOS better is dual trackpad typing
Whenever you have the keyboard up, put your thumbs on the left and right track pads and each one will be able to cover its respective half of the keyboard
It takes a minute to get used to but after a little bit, you’ll be flying across that keyboard and you’ll spend less time using it which I think is the ultimate goal
