I’m responding to both your comments here.

Did you undervolt your SD? Is it the steam version of Spiderman? Did you install it on your SD card or main memory?

The Deck’s basically new, I haven’t done anything to it (yet): No undervolting, no SD card, no non-steam games (except Minecraft).

Uninstall the game. Restart your deck. Install it again.

I’ve tried this already, but it did not work. I’ll try it again, but it’ll take a while, because my internet is really slow.

I’d open a support ticket over it. Since it works for everyone else really well it has to be an issue with your deck, specifically.

Sounds like it’s my a fault of my particular unit. 🫠 As I said, I’ll try to reinstall the game again and if that doesn’t work, I’ll open a ticket. Thanks for the suggestion.

I haven’t played many games on my Deck yet, but all of them—except the two I mentioned—worked very well. Even Baldur’s Gate 3 runs fine and it is a very demanding game. I wonder why just the games from Sony are problematic. The worst thing about this is that they load, seem to run fine for a few seconds, then freeze and crash.

Maybe I’ll bite the bullet and not worry about it now and later I’ll buy Steam Deck 2 sooner rather than later.
