Comment on Solving Steam Deck Shader Storage with a 61.44TB SSD
averyminya@beehaw.org 1 year agoAll this said, the realization that I could download my entire steam library onto a single steam deck… Now that seems enticing. However, I feel it brings along a new issue itself… Everytime you turn on the deck you will be waiting for hours as the shaders update, lmao!

Just imagine how long it would take if 100+ games are updating every time you turn on the deck. It would probably be pretty unusable in the main UI.

It's a reason I disable updates generally

With my 512gb it took maybe 10 to 15 minutes last night after being offline for a couple weeks on a road trip. I could only imagine a list an order of magnitude larger…
That said, I do think the main UI is generally pretty okay when they’re updating. The downloads page itself though would actually be unusable though I think, scrolling through a list of games that size would take so long, and each time you manually update something at the very bottom, it moves it and brings you back up to the top… yet another long, long scroll to queue the update for the next lmao!
