There is absolutely no way with those graphical settings (high/ultra) that video is correct. Lots of the preset options don't take effect until you restart the game I've found. The Deck simply cannot handle those settings. Edit: they have FSR on and set to Balanced too, so I tried that as well and nope - performance not close to that video.

Quoting: SchattenspiegelThose seem to be local problems - maybe something went wrong with your upgrade? Because here it works like a charm.
I read that a few others about the same issue, the menu shortcut is messed up somehow.
Yeah i have the same issue on my Gaming PC at Home, also Nvidia, starting steam over Terminal works without issues, i didn't have time to search for a solution.

Steam not working right on Arch Linux? It's an issue with FreeType and there's a fix

Quoting: BielFPsBefore someone says "something something Arch bad for steam deck something something" I would like to remember that Steam deck will not pull updates from the main arch Linux repositories, instead Valve will push updates from their official ones, in order to avoid this kind of regressions.
thats correct and to make it even clearer, Steam OS is no Rolling release like Arch, so if Valve doesn't take Steam OS seriously then it will be outdated after a very short time! same as it was with Steam OS 1 + 2.
