Crashes when sleep or waking up.
Hi, I don’t know if my unit is failing or it is a common issue. I have frequent crashes when I push the power button to sleep or wake. Sometimes, when I put on sleep, the screen turns black but the game is still playing sound and I have to reboot.

Also, when I wake the Deck is frequent that games malfunctions, sometimes the gamepad doesn’t work, other times the console crashes and reboots, or I have audio issues, or the game closes…

I suspend the console lots of time and I have these Isues around 5 times at days.

Does this happen with all of your games or just certain ones?

I think it happens with lots of games, but not everytime. For example, No Man’s Sky crashes on 1 of 20 sleeps or wakes.

If it crashes without a game loaded when waking up, that's a problem. If it's within a game, it may be more game related.

We are doing something the games are not designed for... With that, I've had better luck putting the game into it's own pause menu, then putting the Deck to sleep. Waking up into the game's pause menu allows it to recover better from my experience.

Yeah that's the defauit behavior with the Nintendo Switch, as soon as you go outside game (shop, menu etc,) or go in sleep mode, the games always bring the pause menu

Solved by removing the SD card. Thanks.
