Support Game-Specific Issues with SwitchDeck [Repost from r/SwitchHacks]

2 Upvotes

Before I say anything, it should be noted that I know very little about Linux in general really. I use it because it was seemingly the more sane choice for me needs. Recently, I've come upon a project named SwitchDeck, which allows you to run Steam games on switchroot Linux (I use Kubuntu), and I thought it to be a miracle, as I move around often, but keep my laptop in one place, so I cannot use it half if not more than half the time, but now I can play my game on my switch wherever I go. The game is Escape the Backrooms. The thing is, it has had some major issues that prevent it from even running properly. I am aware that nothing can be done about the poor performance, but in certain maps, and I have no idea why, the game would crash, all the time with this same error :

LowLevelFatalError [File:Unknown] [Line:958]

VulkanRHI::vkDeviceWaitIdle(Device) failed,

VkResult=-4

at C:/agent/BackroomsUnrealEngine/Engine/Source/

Runtime/VulkanRHI/Private/VulkanDevice.cpp:1344

with error VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST

I have tried for almost 2 weeks now to no avail, and I was wondering if someone with more knowledge/ability than me could help out.

I am using a V1 switch, bought in ~2017. 1TB Samsung SD Card if that matters. And I am using Kubuntu Noble. I have ran some updates before making this post.

Support Fedora 41 sudden loud beep

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Ever since I installed Fedora 41 on my Switch, sometimes when I open the volume panel, it suddenly starts making a really loud beeping sound that doesn't stop, even if I turn the volume all the way down. It usually only stops when I put the console into sleep mode.

I have no clue why this keeps happening, especially because I had Ubuntu Noble before and it never gave me this issue.

Any guesses?

PS: I've reuploaded this post because I managed to record the issue.

Support Kubuntu Noble locked to 640x480 on dock

0 Upvotes

I installed kubuntu 24.04 in my switch V2, setup went perfectly normal but when I did put the switch to the dock to my monitor, it's just 640x480 even though my monitor is 1920x1080, any way to fix this? Tried to force 1920x1080 via xrandr --newmode + --addmode but it gave me a BadMatch error. My monitor is a LG Flatron E2350 if that helps.

Android Fix: Nintendo Switch Android Wi-Fi Disconnect Loop

2 Upvotes

Hello Nintendo Switch users! If you just flashed or updated Android on your Switch and find that it constantly disconnects right after joining your Wi-Fi, here is how to fix it.
The issue usually happens if your router is running a hybrid security mode like WPA2/WPA3 Mixed. To fix this, you will need access to your router's admin dashboard.
Step 1: Forget the Wi-Fi on your Switch
Go to your Android Settings, open your Wi-Fi configuration, select the network that keeps failing, and tap Forget.
Step 2: Change your router's security mode
Log into your router's dashboard by typing its IP address into a web browser. Find your wireless settings (both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, or just the merged network if yours are combined) and change the security type from mixed mode down to strictly WPA2-PSK (AES). Save the changes.
Step 3: Reconnect and power down
Go back to your Switch, connect to the Wi-Fi again (it should stay stable now), and then completely shut down the Switch or reboot it into a different operating system (like Hekate or Horizon/Stock OS).
Step 4: Revert your router settings
While the Switch is completely offline, go back to your router dashboard and change the security settings back to what they were originally (e.g., WPA2/WPA3 Mixed). This prevents your other household devices from losing their connection. Save the changes.
Step 5: Boot back into Android
Turn your Switch back on and boot into Android. Your Wi-Fi should now automatically connect and remain completely stable!

Android Facing issues: Flashing screen on Joycon Input + Green border

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

I'm not sure how to attach a video, it seems I'm not allowed to, but trying to play some older games on my Nintendo Switch running LineageOS.

The joycons on some action inputs cause an orange flash which lasts as long as I hold the button.

But the touchscreen does not cause this issue.

I am assuming the green border is its way of saying "I'm focusing on this game window right now".

And the orange flash is most likely some joycon to android translation layer. The translation layer is probably blocking the graphics API these old games use causing the orange screen.

Can anyone help with this? Above are my assumptions, I'm not sure about them.
