Games constantly need updates
Why does every game constantly need updates, sometimes several times per day?

Why is no reason given in the Steam client?

And why the hell can't play my games in the state they work in without waiting for updates to install?

Steam Deck is basically a useless brick unless you have perfect wireless networking.

Happened again. System update rendered every game (I have over 40 installed) unable to be played until they all update. Every. Single. Game. Some updates are hundreds of megabytes, so I'm basically just locked out until I get good networking again. Thanks, Steam!


Why dont you just have your steam deck run over night plugged in to update or when you aren't using it?

Switch the update option to "Only update this game when I launch it." That way you will only update the titles you actually play.

is there any option to have them all do that or do I have to go into every game I have installed and set it one by one?

At least right now, it's a setting at the game level.

That would be nice, but it also doesn't do that. The Deck does not download updates when it's in sleep mode. There's a very long-standing feature request for that.

With that said, OP, it's very strange that you would frequently have to download shader updates for every game you have installed; that should not happen on a normal basis. If you keep your games installed on an SD card, try to avoid removing and re-inserting the card; that will invalidate the shader cache for every game and force the Deck to re-download them.

If you have all of your games installed on the Deck's internal storage or never remove the SD card, you shouldn't be seeing updates that often, and there might be a problem with your disk. I've got around 30 games installed on my Deck and don't remember the last time I had to download shaders for any of them.

And if this whole "updates required" thing wasn't annoying enough, updates don't automatically get installed when I reconnect to networking. They get "scheduled" - scheduled for what? I have to manually go and select download for 20-30 updates
Uhh, no you don't. The entire point of them being put into a queue is so that you don't have to download them immediately. You can queue them all up right away if you want, or you can just download the shaders for the game you're going to play next. I am willing to bet that you don't play all of your games every day.

You can just set it so it doesn't turn off tho and set an alarm and come back to it? I leave my deck plugged into the dock all day and on.

I feel like it's kind of a waste of electricity to do that, and it's not good for the screen to be constantly on, but sure, you could do that.

Screens not on when you have it docked. You can have the screen dim if you don't have a dock while it updates, its not like you have leave it on all day like me, just update it when you aren't using it and put it to sleep hence set an alarm.

Don't need to be docked just on charge, thats how I download large files just leave it on the side charging with those settings, then I just watch yt or sleep while I wait.

The faster the update channel, the more updates you get. Including shaders. Switch to "stable" if you haven't.

Additionally you can disable "shader pre-caching" (i.e. downloading of pre-made shaders) altogether. But in that case they get compiled during gameplay which will result in worse performance.

Because I live in a cabin in the woods with no Internet. I go into town to get coffee on crappy free wifi and hope that Steam doesn't decide to break all my games and force me to spend hours downloading gigabytes of unexplained crap.

i will say it has been an annoyance for me personally because i have had to run GTA:O from a windows install on an SD card. so then any time im switching back in my other SD card with my Steam OS games installed, it apparently needs to update them all every time.

Nah this is definitely annoying. Sure at home I have fast wifi but if I'm playing on the go it takes forever. If I'm only stuck playing at home only I got a PC for that

Thank you! The dumbest part is the one game I play the most and need updated ... gets "scheduled" for an update weeks from now. Why!? It's the game I play most, why wouldn't it prioritize updating it first? Like some kind of cruel joke.

In the game options, for updates, there is an option called "High Priority - Always auto update this game before others".

That did nothing other than label the update High Priority, but it's still scheduled for a week away. Makes absolutely no sense other than to waste my time.

I agree! And! After a year from your post this is Still a Problem! I am so sick and tired of Constant Updates Every Single time I turn on my Steam Deck. WTF!
