Comment on SteamOS 3.6.6 Preview for Steam Deck has fixes for ELDEN RING, system memory leak and more

  It never connects on the first try when plugged into the Deck. I always have to plug/unplug the Power, USB, and HDMI cables to get it to switch over. This has been tried with multiple displays, multiple HDMI cables, and with Steam support. If you look on the Steam Community forums, this seems to be a common issue with some of the early Docks and Valve, for whatever reason, has no answers. I finally got them to replace it after nearly a year and only after the warranty is over.

    That was a common issue for me on an older build of steamOS, but I almost never have any issues with it anymore. Sorry to hear you’re still having issues with it.

      So, just to be clear, you can plug in the Steam Deck into the Dock and it shows up on the display right away without having to power up/down, plug/unplug, or press any button combos to reset controllers or put it into storage mode? Do you plug it in powered on or off? Can you hot-plug while a game is running or no?

      I expected it to work more like the Switch where you plug it in and it switches displays but maybe my expectations are too high?

        I use an Anker USB hub with power delivery and it’s completely hot swappable, I would be incredibly surprised if the official dock wasn’t.
