Hey everyone, I’m having a frustrating issue with my Steam Deck. It randomly drops in FPS while I’m playing, and then my inputs become unresponsive—almost like there’s some stuttering going on. This can happen soon after I start using it or sometimes even right away, regardless of the game I play. I’ve tried various fixes like disabling the Steam controller, restarting the device, and reverting to an earlier OS version (from 3.6.22 to 3.6.20), but nothing has worked. I also attempted the quick fix of switching to desktop mode and back to gaming mode, but I’m still having problems. Any suggestions on what else I could try?

I’ve been facing this same frustrating issue ever since the last update. I really hope Valve addresses it soon!
Yikes, that’s rough! I thought my Steam Deck was on the fritz, but it seems to be a widespread issue. Hopefully, they can get a fix out soon.
It sounds like you’re not alone—lots of folks are experiencing similar issues with the recent 3.6.22 OS update. I had the problem too, and I think it might be linked to either the Decky plugins or some other mods. I posted a solution a little while ago, maybe that could help you out!
Yeah, where can we find more discussions about this OS update issue?
Thank goodness it’s not just me! Can you drop the link to your solution? I need to check that out!
