Steam Deck External Monitor
Mohandevir Jul 16, 2022
I can't figure how to play games, in gaming mode, on an external monitor... Every time I launch a game, the monitor goes blank with "Out of range". Nothing fancy with my monitor... Asus 24", 1920x1080 60hz. I tried messing around with the per game resolution settings, but nothing seem to work. No issues on the desktop mode though. Seems like a Gamemode issue.

Any help would be nice.
Thanks!

Edit: While typing, I had a revelation... I forgot that I use the 40fps cap limiter... Moved it back to 60hz... Problem solved. I will leave my post on the thread... If ever someone else has a similar issue...
