Just curious what other people do. I always save and close my games before putting the deck in sleep mode. Not sure why exactly I’m just afraid something will go wrong.

Does anyone leave games open in sleep mode all the time? If so have you ever had any issues?

    The 3.5.x update on LCD, and now of course on OLED has solved so many of the sleep stability issues I had. I never had a game itself crash or fail to handle resuming from sleep, but prior to 3.5, the deck OS would not be responsive. So far on 3.5 sleep has worked beautifully, and Bluetooth audio automatically reconnects every time too. Tested with NoMansSky and Snow Runner so far numerous times for both. I commute via train daily, with a Train transfer mid commute and rely on that sleep function. 3.5 has so far solved all my issues in this use case.

    One funny bug I think may still exist is that games left running while in sleep, count towards your steam play time. I have some absurd hours in a few games because of it. Looks like I played train sim 4 for 168hrs straight one week.
