Is it kinda just common for games to crash to "desktop" on Deck? Had mine about 2 weeks, no matter if it's big, small, or dolphin emulated, games will randomly crash on me, and the Deck restarts itself.

If there's any known general settings that can stop the crashing, that'd be great.

I hope you got it from somewhere where you can return it. This is not normal and seems like faulty hardware.

It's a Valve Refurbished :D so still under warranty. I ticked off the fan setting mentioned before, just need to stress test it some more to see if that was the fix

I hope it fixes it then! I love the platform:)
