Screen Flickers

[Shen Ron]

every game that I play, Verified or Playable, when I press the STEAM button to bring up the menu everything is glitching and flickers even causing a white screen. This also happens with the QAM menu, and the framerate drops immensely. Switching back to the Stable build is the only fix.

I'm seeing this same behaviour in Stable (Steam OS 3.6.19) on my 256GB LCD Deck. BIOS
version F7AO131. Only difference is that the QAM will display normally, unless the active controller layout has an onscreen element, in which case opening the QAM, the Steam menu, or activating the radial menu will all cause the screen to flicker.

Switching my OS update channel to Main fixes the flickering issue, but now the controller layout menus fully blackout the game when they're active.

Thought something with CSS Loader went wrong...

The Problem, ingame u cant open Steam Menu to close a game the normal way, or check controller layout...

Its realy annoying...

Someone find a fix?

Reinstall SteamOS using the img file and make sure to select the option to keep your data, that's the only fix currently

I am having the same issue on current stable, preview, and beta builds,

I can't even roll back to a working update now :(

Welcome to Valve's new stable, and the screw job.

This is why I was staying out of Beta and Preview channel updates, but now it's leaked it's way through and it's even happening on 3.6.20

So where's the fux, I mean fix but if Valve were more careful they wouldn't FUX it all up and keep pushing out updates that do this.

Now not only do we not own OUR games, but we don't even own our devices and get to choose what updates we take.

I was able to get out of it by restarting and holding down the Quick Settings "..." menu and choosing B menu aka second down from the top, but now it just pushes me right into 3.6.19

Doesn't help because Valve will eventually force you back into the fuxxed update, it's inevitable.

Still no fix for this??

This is a real game breaker, you can't get into the controller settings for a game. Are we just waiting for a new build to fix this then?

Same here. Thinking of formatering all together. It sometimes is unusable
