What version of steamOS are you running (stable, beta)? Has this been an issue across more than one update? Something seems wrong with the network/driver on this. A while back I had issues with discover not actually writing to the disk at more than a few Kb/s. There’s a few things you can try:
Switch update channel to force and update. You can switch to beta from stable and retest. If this fixes it but you want to stay on stable switch the branch back to force another update back,
Hold I think it was volume minus and power to reach the boot menu from powered off. Try it on both boot options to see if the current boot partition has a bad file on it or something.
I am currently running 3.4.8 (Build 20230508.1). I only had the deck for a week or so so I haven't used other versions before.
Interestingly I have no other network issues
It seems the beta channel is on the same version as I was on before.
I only have one boot partition available
Build 20230508.1 is out of date. Under settings->system the top two buttons should be “check for updates” and then under the beta participation header “System Update Channel”. I’m on the same build and system update channel shows “stable”, with an upgrade available when I checked.
If yours doesn’t show one available, the system update channel has 3 options:
Pick the one above what it’s set to now to try and force an update. As a note, preview is likely to be unstable. Even if it fixes it I’d recommend going back to one of the other two options, it’ll “update” again and reboot after that.
My best guess is that flathub/its ssl dependency may have somehow been corrupted and forcing it to reinstall the app through updates should fix it.
Correction I guess update didn’t change the build number… thanks steam for making sense. The bottom half of what I wrote should still help. I’d try switching to prieview (or stable assuming you’re on beta) and forcing an is update that way then switching back to what you want. SteamOS has gotten a lot better since day 1 but for the occasional issue this has almost always seemed to work for me
Thanks, I didn't know what you ment by forcing an update before, but that seems to have worked :D
