Comment on Stuck on Verifying Installation after most recent Beta update...basically bricked my deck
TheDarkKnight@lemmy.world 11 months agoFor fucks sake it bricked the prod update too under the same circumstances , so now what? What is the genius response now? Or does it EXTRA HIGHLIGHT that they aren’t even using the beta environment to sus out bugs correctly, because no way this should’ve gone untested in the lower environments even before this…its happened multiple times now, maybe MAYBE you should include the same circumstances in your pipeline tests but what the fuck would I know?

First off your device is not bricked, just reinstall steam os. Here’s a step by step video on how to do it. youtu.be/X1fg9TB_DcU?si=vRAe34l4HT10vHyL
Second off, by opting into a BETA you become a tester for an unstable software. Especially when it’s a beta for an entire operating system.
Third off I would love to see the proof that this is “also happening on prod” because it’s likely not happening on vanilla versions of steam os stable.

All you have to do is switch to the stable update, toggle off wifi, reboot and then reboot again. If they didn’t patch yet then it’ll get stuck in verification regardless of the update channel. Go try it.

Clearly not if you are still here complaining. I suggest you follow the video youtu.be/X1fg9TB_DcU?si=vRAe34l4HT10vHyL and reinstall via usb with a fresh version of the image.
Here’s where you can get a fresh version of the steam os image. help.steampowered.com/en/…/1B71-EDF2-EB6D-2BB3
