It happened to me too a few times, mostly with hogwart’s legacy. Maybe it is software related though according to this https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1257, so I have hope to not RMA my deck

Edit: Valve should be aware of this issue by now: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1235

This is a known issue with the WiFi cards in the OLED. It looks like the chip itself has poor Linux driver support. See here.

Another issue I saw in 3.5 and before was crackling sound (in some games), after sleep/resume. I saw this in Elden Ring and couple of other games. Looks like resetting pipewire program seems to fix this issue. You may have to add a terminal program to steam, switch to "Nested Desktop" or use decky plugin to execute following bash commands.

From the thread on github with bug report you can see two things:

Steam in home streaming does not work with the Deck, in either direction (from the Deck to another PC/phone or from a PC to the Deck) (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1148)

The easiest way to do this is to use Boilr. It supports Lutris and will add your Lutris games to Steam as shortcut automatically (and also download game art from SteamGridDB if you give it an API number). Boilr is also on Flathub so installing it and using it is super super easy.

And the fantastic Boilr

Hi, there's this old thread, and here the link to the tool itself. Hope it works.

For most of them, use Boilr. Sometimes it doesn’t work, or the launcher isn’t supported, then you gotta look up “How to add X launcher games to steam”.

Or Boilr, to automate it.

Can try this https://github.com/boppreh/steamgrid or this one https://github.com/PhilipK/BoilR for art on non steam game needs ur steamgriddb id

You can use BoilR (https://github.com/PhilipK/BoilR) for that, it will scan all of the usual install locations for your games and let you add them to Steam as individual entries.

Update: You can use BoilR (https://github.com/PhilipK/BoilR) to scan for the games installed and add them as individual entries to Steam, thanks to u/RightSaidJames for the tip!

I unfortunately haven't used steam rom manager before. I'll take a look into it if I get some spare time today and update this comment with how to do it. I use an app called BoilR to add my non-steam games and download artwork for them. You can read about it on it's GitHub page. It may be a bit more technical but I like it better since it adds the emulators rather than the games. This so I don't have my steam library filled with duplicates of my games between yuzu stable and yuzu-ea, if that makes sense.
