So i had the LCD steamdeck and loved it for a time and then got my hands on the Ally. The screen and speakers were so much better that I ended up switching and selling my lcd steamdeck. Now with the OLED i have switched back to the steamdeck because of two reasons. One is I really missed the pause and resume feature of the SteamDeck. The ally would crash my games a lot of times or they would not work right on resume. The other is the battery life is horrible on the ally. It’s nice to have the steamdeck again and a good battery life when playing indie games. The OLED screen for sure beats the ally. Also it seems that certain games just plain work better with the steamdeck right when you install them and with the Ally you will need to tinker with it for a bit to get the games working right. Overall after having both i would pick the steamdeck over the ally or any windows handheld.

This fixed my issue 100% and I had the same issues as you do

Yes but honestly would never have noticed if you hadn’t said something. Mine are really not that bad at all but it is there

Oh damn mine is due to arrive friday and of course there is a huge snow storm coming in thursday night so i bet I won’t get mine till weekend or after the holiday weekend. Enjoy yours - it looks great

For rdr2 and mass effect i found it was better to go into desktop mode and then launch the game that way for the first time so you can login to all that extra crap. Once you start the game fully then go back to the normal steam os
