Tenno,

We are aware of issues for the Warframe Steam Deck client as a result of the August Steam Deck System Update. Upon installing, the On Screen Keyboard no longer appears to let you enter your login details, preventing players from being able to log-in. 

At this time, we recommend you avoid updating your Steam Deck to the August Steam Deck System Update until we find a resolution for this issue. We have contacted Valve and are looking for a solution with them. We’ll update this thread as more information comes in. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

EDIT: A temporary workaround has been discovered with the following steps:
  • Launch your Steamdeck in desktop mode
  • Open the Steam app
  • Switch to Big Picture Mode (monitor symbol top right)
  • Launch Warframe

UPDATE: August 3 @ 2pm

We have heard back from Valve that they have identified an issue and are looking for a fix. 


UPDATE: August 4 @ 10am

Valve has put out a hotfix for SteamDeck users and functionality as been restired. Please apply the update in order to see the changes. It may not automatically search for the update so below are instructions to manually install it.

  1. Steam button
  2. Settings > System
  3. "Check for Updates"
  4. You should see a new software update!

Hi Tenno! I know there's a lot of discussion about SteamDeck and SteamInput concerns beyond the login issues above. 

For visibility, I wanted to share our OTHER SteamInput-specific PSA that is now live: 

I will also highlight a footnote at the bottom of that post for visibility as well:

* For our SteamDeck players, we are actively working with Valve to resolve various issues. Once we are closer to a resolution on these, we will post a separate PSA pertaining to that situation. Thank you for your patience on this matter!

Thank you all for the bug reports thus-far. Please expect an update on this matter as we get closer to a resolution on these.
