Anyone else having problems with the dock after this update.

  • dock wants to update firmware, but always fails.
  • on second deck reboot dock stopped working at all.
  • disconnecting power and steam deck and rebooting the deck after reconnect returned functionality, but dock didn't relay audio.
  • repeating previous and full functionality returned.
  • now I don't dare to update dock firmware.

On steamdeck itself, deck crashed and rebooted after recovering from standby mode with Death Stranding running.

Not enjoying this so far.

Update went smooth here, both Deck and Dock. Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble.

Update, if somebody is having same problems...

Just for the hell of it, I connected the steam dock with wire instead of wifi and the firmware update finished successfully. I don't know how it matters. Deck should be controlling the process and the connection.

Deck is still sometimes unable to detect peripherals connected to the dock including display and it seems random.

Rebooting enough times will eventually give you an instance where everything works.
