Is it kinda just common for games to crash to “desktop” on Deck? Had mine about 2 weeks, no matter if it’s big, small, or dolphin emulated, games will randomly crash on me, and the Deck restarts itself.

If there’s any known general settings that can stop the crashing, that’d be great.

Like complete freezes followed by a reboot? Or straight to complete reboot?

I had that on my first unit, RMAd it and hasn’t happened again on the new one. I assumed it was some kind of faulty hardware component. Like the RAM or GPU.

That sounds like exactly what I was getting
