Steam UI disappears on Nvidia Deck beta
Weird issue, I know nvidia deck is in beta, so I know there will be issues but I haven't seen anyone else dealing with this
my issue essentially is that once I've been in a game for some period of time, the steam menus all stop working, once I quit the game it just exits to a black screen, all notifications are either black or whatever was last seen on the steam UI, same with pressing the home button to the "pause" menu.
there hasn't been an instance of playing a game for anything longer than about 10 minutes or so without this happening, it's very odd
I'm using the latest version of the bazzite deck beta
CPU: r5 3500
GPU: RTX 3060ti FE
RAM: 16GB 3200mhz
I'm running off an external USB 3.1 SSD (m.2 2tb samsung 990), but I doubt that's somehow the issue.

nvidia driver related
the workaround is to disable gpu hardware acceleration for webviews in the desktop client and it will work fine but the ui will run at like 10fps in gamemode
having hardware acceleration on will cause graphical glitches (often happening on the side menus) and nvidia has to fix it
this was mentioned in the announcement 🙂
ah, I had wondered if this was the case 💔
Thank you :)
