That whole process would have taken hours when I used the Deck format option previously and my card was behaving weirdly.Ģ. Took about 10min to download, then another 2-3min to verify. I just tried it out on my card, and the speeds seem fine when I downloaded Left 4 Dead 2. I can run you through all that, but first you should try formatting using KDE Partition Manager that's built into Steam Desktop Mode(aka KDE Plasma). I also have a USB-C hub to plug it into the Deck along with a keyboard. I had GParted on a bootable USB flash drive as parted of the process of setting up dual-boot for Windows. I don't think it's an issue with overheating, I think the built-in Format option on the Deck Game Mode messes up the partition on the SD card. Hey bro, I'm having the same problem as you, the SD card will overheat when downloading games and then the speed becomes 0 or very slow, could you please guide me on how to use GParted to make the SD card work better, I'm a complete newbie, thanks. The SteamOS SD format option was screwing up the SD so it ran like junk. Getting ~30MB/s sustained disk usage and much faster downloads. I finally decided to format it using GParted from a bootable flash drive and now it works fine. When I would download games to the card it throttle at 5-10MB download and disk usage, then completely stop, then start again.
