Valve are acting quickly to clean up some Steam Deck problems from the huge SteamOS 3.6 update with a new SteamOS 3.6.20 update released for everyone.

This time it's just a few bits but all pretty nice to see:

  • Fixed an issue where the updater could repeatedly revert you to the previous OS version if certain configuration files were user-modified.
  • Fixed an issue with taking multiple screenshots if Game Recording is on.
  • Improved performance in Metaphor: ReFantazio by up to 20%.

From the changelog.

Are you currently having issues you want to see solved? What are your biggest problems right now?

Mine is a small one but still annoying: when docking to my main 4K TV, the performance overlay is absolutely tiny and unreadable. It's a really odd issue, but I would like to see it solved with some proper scaling of the performance overlay. It happens with every dock I've tried including Valve's official dock, multiple from JSAUX to the recently tested BenQ beCreatus GR10.

The notification bell popping up for things that you've said you don't want to be notified about is still super annoying, and has been super annoying since they introduced the notification bell.

My biggest issue, night mode killing performance, is still not resolved. Despite the fact that I found a bug report about it that dated back to basically forever. Every day at 10pm,when night mode enables, the fps drops to single digits for a few seconds. It's so annoying

KDE Plasma ... Man, I'm longing for the version 6 update. What good experience it is with the TV connected to my desktop PC with Plasma 6, Wayland and indivual scaling on all screens. The same is a utter crap on the Deck with its Plasma 5.27ish relic DE.

I wish Valve would incorporate AMD Chill into SteamOS: when I stop providing inputs, after a second or two drop my fps to my target minimum. When input occurs immediately ramp up fps to my target max.
