Why has my SteamDeck having issues with my monitor suddenly?
At the start of the summer sale I just purchased the new Mouse PI to play on my steam deck. The next day there was an updated patch and ever since then I have had nothing but problems trying to connect my steam deck to my monitor through my Sabrent mount.
Originally it just created a bunch of weird... Not quite white noise but streaks of distorted video coloring every time I connected it to my monitor. After I updated the patch and it mostly went away. However ever since then I haven't been able to plug my steam deck into my monitor without it going black on me 80% of the time at random intervals of 3 to 10 minutes. The remaining 20% of the time it gets these weird random streaks of this "white noise" every 3 to 10 minutes. The only time that it actually works is when I Play games in 32-bit or less.
I looked up some stuff online to try some hot fixes for it but have been unable to find anything on this issue. I noticed that the new steam machine is just been released and has been updating all these patches. On this forum and I have also noticed the people have had issues with the same weird "white noise" on their steamed up as well, but no information on why.
I'm not sure how to fix this or what's going on. Whether it was the new games I bought that created an issue, whether it's the new hot patches that have been installed, or whether there's some sort of software/mechanical problem with my steam deck.
Is anyone else been having this issue? Anybody have a lead on how to fix this? Anybody know what is causing it? Or better yet, how to fix it?
