SteamOS 3.5.5 has been released to the Stable channel for Deck with the following changes: Display The default color rendering for Steam Deck LCD has been adjusted to emulate the sRGB color gamut, resulting in a slightly warmer and more vibrant color appearance. Added Settings -> Adjust Display Colors, to tune the display's Color Vibrancy and Color Temperature. The settings can be tuned with a preview of a test image (above), or with your running game.

tl;dr Steam OS 3.5 released to stable branch, adding sRGB emulation, and HDR and VRR (for external devices)

    Anyone else having problems with the dock after this update.

    • dock wants to update firmware, but always fails.
    • on second deck reboot dock stopped working at all.
    • disconnecting power and steam deck and rebooting the deck after reconnect returned functionality, but dock didn’t relay audio.
    • repeating previous and full functionality returned.
    • now I don’t dare to update dock firmware.

    On steamdeck itself, deck crashed and rebooted after recovering from standby mode with Death Stranding running.

    Not enjoying this so far.

      Update went smooth here, both Deck and Dock. Sorry to hear you’re having so much trouble.

      Update, if somebody is having same problems…

      Just for the hell of it, I connected the steam dock with wire instead of wifi and the firmware update finished successfully. I don’t know how it matters. Deck should be controlling the process and the connection.

      Deck is still sometimes unable to detect peripherals connected to the dock including display and it seems random.

      Rebooting enough times will eventually give you an instance where everything works.
