How are you running Minecraft? I’d recommend Prism launcher, and then installing the Controllable mod. It’s excellent - updates the UI and controls to match the console versions of Minecraft.

I have a third party dock, but I’ve experienced a lot of the same issues you’ve mentioned. That said, the updates over the last year have improved things significantly for me.

When it comes to switching between gaming and desktop mode whilst docked I still have issues there. I usually disconnect the display whilst switching, just to be safe.

Thanks for this, but you might have to clarify for me. If I’m using a Steam Deck (and correct me if I’m wrong here), gaming mode doesn’t use the Steam Client, right? Gaming mode is more an ‘inbuilt feature’ of SteamOS?

I was wondering if game recording would now be included, as it makes reference to it here:

Fixed a problem where a Game Recording capture failing could cause subsequent captures to also fail

So is game recording now in stable?

Ahh right thanks for confirming. When I last moved to beta, none of the buttons would work and I could only use the touchscreen. I thought that was quite odd considering beta seemed to work fine for others. Any idea what could’ve caused that?

Is there a way to do a clean installation of the OS without wiping all your downloads? I’d be tempted to do this as I think compound updates over the last two years have caused a few issues (I’ve got the original steam deck)

Ah yes I knew about it, but I’m sure this will be useful to others! Unfortunately I was having trouble with the beta the other week - it caused my button inputs to not be recognised. Tried several things to fix before giving up and returning to stable - which worked flawlessly again. I don’t mind waiting until this feature reaches stable.

Looking forward to this coming to stable
