Red flashing light OLED LT

[Toast]

My deck started crashing a lot recently, game that’s been causing the issue is palworld. Today however, the game crashed, but this time the entire deck crashed with it. The power light, then blinked red three times before I shut it down.

The deck has started up as normal, but I’m wondering if the game has caused permanent damage, and what does the red light mean.

Thank you for the link, according to the Reddit post. The red lights were caused by lack of battery power. That’s interesting, because I had 80% life left.

I’ll open a ticket, and see if anything else could have caused it. Thank you for posting that link

Possibly over heating issue? Palworld is a heavy game and its also easy to block the ventilation.

not really, I ended up not playing palworld on my steam deck.
