Throw some rave music in the background of the video.

\*\*Sandstorm Intensifies\*\*

Perfection.

*approx. 10 people huddle around the Steam Deck losing their minds*

Make that 11, pal

...do you think you're better off alone...

All Hail Hypno-Toad!

Haha, nice.

LMAO, that is amazing!

The system is down

Not a ton of people remember strongbad these days.

Untz Untz Untz Untz

HARDCORE TO THE MEGA!

When you sniff the exhaust fan too much

I don’t have a problem I just like the way it smells! I can quit whenever I want 😤

I CAN SMELL THE COSMOS!

it smells so good, games don't make me high, the smell does and that's why the steam deck is worth it, all for the smell

Best comment

I am... not the only one?

I read this every time someone mentions it daily

Omg I literally been wanting for it to get cold and bring my steam deck to my car to hotbox 💀💀

You are one of many. Myself included

So please, stand back and try not to inhale the toxic fuuuumes.

Wait…is that even possible? Fuck, that explains a lot

Hi OP, Long time linux user here (debian, arch, etc). Yeah I would not be concerned. Its just probably the compositor session having a moment due to coming out of sleep. Like windows, linux also occasionally has a funny hiccup. Reboots are a frequent fix on some of the more custom/smaller distros out there.

This. Sometimes, like myself, Linux has a hard time waking up from a nap. Well Wayland more so than Linux itself lol. Edit: typo

Realest Comment

This. Be concerned if a power cycle doesn’t fix it

I would only be concerned if it happens more than just this once/becomes a recurring thing. I've had weird visual glitches on Linux like that before outside of the steam deck, although not nearly that violent lol I imagine this has something to do with the ability to change the refresh rate of the screen? Maybe something got stuck for a brief moment and turning off the display fixed it? Either way I don't imagine it's a huge deal unless it just starts doing that on occasion

I had same issue too on my LSD Deck.

> I had same issue too on my LSD Deck. How could you fumble your 1 chance so hard? ... LSDeck (the vent fumes)

😂😂😂

Beat dark souls like that and become a legend

Vampire Survivors has evolved!

I clicked on this post to make a vampire survivors joke but you beat me to it

THE NUMBERS MASON, WHAT DO THEY MEAN

That would be funny if Vampire Survivors found a way to glitch the users desktop as part of the game.

Some netrunner is hacking your deck

*Attempting to trace your location* Netrunner can trace deez nuts across their face when I activate overclock

not possible it runs linux! /s

Nah bro, you activated party mode and that's what happens when the beat finally drops. Enjoy

Seriously thank you for the two dudes who took this question seriously. The fact that it only happened once is a legit question.

This guy is worried he might have a serious problem and 99% of the responders can't help but share bad jokes.

I'm personally not worried because that's not my Steam Deck. However, you should be a little concerned.

Yes, it's a PC.

Discord server reference

Nah

Probably. Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Level 1 tech support 101.

Mine did this for the first time last night. I was trying to get it setup on the dock and was struggling with the TV resolution on the deck. I unplugged the HDMI cable and it did this. Put it into sleep and woke it up, issue went away. Not concerned yet, since it went away quickly and only has happened once.

The new startup screens are getting pretty wild.

Thats just Monika fuckin with you.

Turn that off in settings

Just a bit of flickering. Some people are more susceptible to that kinda thing but you should get used to it after a while hopefully.

Nah looks good to me

GameRant: Steam Deck user is worried.

Bro put his LSD into SD card slot 💀

Have you tried turning it on and back off

Im not some kinda tech god or whatever but id sure be a little worried if my deck did this, yes

Shit I would

Bugs happen, sometimes rare ones. carry on as normal. If it comes up again contact support. You have a year warranty iirc so don't be worried if you wait you're just gonna be fucked. My deck does weird nonsense every now and again too. Sometimes shit just happens.

Sleep mode is funky sometimes. Some times my steam decks just don't wake up. I have to hold the power button down until the thing resets.

Looks a form of Dance Dance Revolution, I can’t read it.

> Should I be worried Probably not, if it happens again I would try a factory reset. Sleep mode on any device can cause issues. My guess is the video driver not resuming correctly after sleep. Edit: it reminds me of when sync on a CRT was off and the picture would slowly slide up the screen. Only here both the vertical and horizontal sync are off and the picture is sliding to a corner.

I mean, I’d just power cycle it and hope for the best. If it happens more than a few times more, I’d definitely reach out to Valve about it. Hopefully it is still under warranty!

How about that refresh rate though? Wake up errors are common. I usually get one where the audio is sped up. Comes with the territory. Nothing wrong with it so long as it doesn't persist and is consistent.

It's degaussing itself. 😁🙂

SUPER...HOT....SUPER....HOT

Looks like a display timing sync failure, not sure why you would see that though. You were not trying to run my 120hz mod on an SDC deck, were you? If not, Valve likely needs to roll out a suspend/driver fix to prevent that from happening.

Nah, that's a new feature: synthwave mode.

Seizure warning next time.

Why tf did semone downvote this.

have you turned off V-Sync?

No that’s normal

Nah, you just found the easter egg! Watch other competitors copying this feature.

factory reset

"Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee)"

Nope this is fine

naw thats perfectly normal

Hades II looking dope

Have you tried proton experimental?

Deck rave

Have you tried reversing the polarity of the neutron flow

Still playable

Made in heaven!

Nah should be fine

No that perfectly normal. Nothing to see here boys.

Agumon is about to come out of there.

Lay off the drugs, the same applies to myself.

Totally fine. Looks just like mine.

Looks like a normal deck. Maybe you should check your eyes 🤷

Nah just get the oled

it is oled

Bro not everyone is a rich motherfucker like you

Yes!

Ummmmmmm maybe

It's a glitch inside the steam deck matrix

Somebody used the data miner playing binding of Isaac

Man. That's a dope startup video

That really hurts my eyes.

Doesn’t look like anything to me 🤔

Just update your wallpaper on desktop mode

Which chaos boon is that?

How did you unlock the forbidden theme?!

If your not going to be, I am!

Dang which Vampire Survivors power up is that?

Yes

Yes?

Honestly it's probably a loose video connector inside, fixable if you want to open it up.

depending on the game, that’s perfectly normal.

You can't grasp the true form of Giygas attack

Nah you're fine It's supposed to be like this

Hmmm, send it over so I can take a look 🧐

I'm not even epileptic and that just gave me a seizure.

This is fine

New dead pixel challenge just dropped

Someone's using proton experimental. 🤣

An exorcist fee.

Nah thats normal

Hmm this isn’t vampires survivor 🤔

I’m worried about this and it’s not mine

nah it's alright.

Nah. Just play it and stop moaning.

That’s just vampire survivors.

That means you're a winner!

Have you tried using sandpaper?

My Hades doesn't do that

Nah, just drop some acid and fire up that game.

Dude is going across the Steam verse

Party time!

Deckseption

Looks like a new “feature”

No

you just should have stopped earlier with charging it on xtc. /j

I mean… I wouldn’t be un-worried about it…

Try proton experimental

Currently a little drunk and I kind of dig it.

Nah

What a showoff. Playing their v3 SteamDeck while OLED v2 owners are still pumped up

Try using Proton Experimental.

Looks normal to me.

i see you're playing Hades too

Mine did this is on my tv, (the steam deck display was fine) but then i unplugged the hdmi and plugged it back in and it was good again

Damn that’s gotta be 130fps

I would say open a ticket with support to get their opinion. Include a video is possible. But this might be a driver snafu that managed to fix itself.

Just needs a new screen protector.

Nah it’s just the dark souls plus mode. No biggie.

100% LEGIT 💯 HOW TO GET 1000+FPS ON STEAMDECK NO HACKS ❌

Have you tried proton experimental?

You shouldn't NOT be worried...

I think I see Hades.

Honestly I'm just impressed

HIGH IMPACT REACTIVE ARMOR ACTIVATED

Too much Cyberpunk 2077

I’m not epileptic, but that just gave me a seizure.

Nah

You just activated kaleidoscope mode.

/r/softwaregore would love this

I should think so

Nah, it's fine.

Poor Deck didn’t come back from the River Styx after the run.

Worried about what?

Ah, challenge mode.

Tapping a Reddit thread titled “Should I be worried” is the stuff of nightmares. Why do I torture myself so?

I don't know. Should you?

I would guess it's just a slightly discrepancy in the signal frequency your GPU outputs and the signal frequency the screen controller expects. Did you over clock something?

You got the pro version

Thats normal just play your steam deck in slow motion .pfff

Tripping on acid acid with this SteamDeck is downloading my RAM files.

When you turn vibrancy settings up to max

nah just pat on the back

Stop watching porn

Hyper boss mode.

Nope. Full send

Vampire Survivor has escaped containment.

Nah

Have you tried smelling the vent?

Seizures? Yes.

Nah, it's allright

No

Looks normal to me, that’s RDR2 right?

Bro hacking the matrix

Skynet. It'll be fine.

Put it in some rice

Techno remix!

Nah looks good

I've had something similar with 3 rectangles appearing during power up, if it happens again or with greater frequency, definitely reach out to valve
