Issues with Manual GPU Frequency Lock on Steam Deck after Sleep Mode

-

Hey everyone! I’ve been running into a problem with my Steam Deck where my manual GPU frequency lock doesn’t work properly after waking it up from sleep mode. I usually set it to lock at 1200 MHz for my Doom profile, but after resuming from rest mode, the frequency varies as if the lock isn’t activated anymore, even though the menu shows it’s still turned on. I have to toggle it off and on again to reset the lock back to 1200 MHz. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue? Apologies for my English, and thanks in advance for your help!

Do you have the Decky Powertools plugin installed? Some users have had luck using it to manage their GPU settings better. From what I gather, having the GPU limiter off might be part of the problem. You could try enabling it and see if that changes anything!

I do have the plugin, but I only use it for limiting the max charge.

First off, have you tried the classic fix of just rebooting your Steam Deck? Sometimes that can help with glitches like this. Also, if you haven’t already, check out a search for your issue — you might find others who’ve faced the same problem. If this keeps up, maybe keep track of any patterns? That info might help you narrow it down!

Yeah, I’ve rebooted it, and it still happens. It’s really annoying!
