    Already learned my lesson a while back. I bought Horizon Zero Dawn for the Steam Deck. Game is listed as Steam Deck Verified. Froze every time between 10-40 secs into the opening cinematic. Fortunately, Steam is awesome and gave me a refund.

    Funny thing is that in searching around for a fix, I found a forum post somewhere that described exactly my problem. Started reading replies and finally realized the poster was on a PlayStation from way back when the game was first released. Good job Sony.

      I had the same deck experience but it was always really damn hot during the cutscene and inevitable hard crash. I randomly tried again after undervolting and a bunch of drg hours and the problem went away. sometimes it still freezes when doing a manual save so I have to quick save first each time. It’s not a solution though because not every deck can do -30/-40/-40mv

      edit: actually mine was forbidden west. I didn’t play zero dawn on deck. It’s probably notable that similar problems still exist in the sequel.
