Resolved Screen keeps turning off every 1-3 minutes making the game unplayable. PC/Linux (Steam Deck)

[Disgr-Ace]

Hello I was fortunate enough to get a steam deck recently I understand that it's currently still going to have a few bugs/errors but I just wanted to check if anyone else is having this problem or if any knowledge can be provided to help fix it. (Also make the issue more known)

So to explain my situation,

I recently have been renting a server for me and some of my friends to play on and managed to get Tmodloader running on the Steam Deck. (Though that's not the focus)

I bought a third party dock to use on my Steam Deck as the official one is still being developed and noticed that whenever I play Terraria my screen turns off every 1-3 minutes and temporarily goes black as if to say there's no HDMI connection this only happens when I load up a world.

At first I suspected that this might be caused by the docking station USB's eating too much power however that wasn't the case as I've tested it with multiple more demanding types of games and it never happens neither does it happen in desktop mode when I watch videos or browse the web it only happens in Terraria.

I then decided to test it in Vanilla Non-modded Terraria and still had the exact same issue even after running a "Verify Integrity of game cache" and running the game in Proton tends to break it.

I've tried using multiple type of launch properties to see if I could try to fix the issue.

OpenGL: /gldevice:OpenGL
Vulkan: /gldevice:Vulkan

Although this did fix one issue with mounts were they would display an ugly transparent overlay around them I'm still having the same issue with the screen switching off every few minutes.

I've tried messing with Frameskip settings to see if that could fix it and also running the game in Borderless mode.


For the exact TV model I'm using:

KD55XD8005 (Sony Bravia)​

Steam Deck specifications:
Operating System: SteamOS 3.3
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.13.0-valve21-1-neptune-02209-g2a5bdc1102a0 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 8 × AMD Custom APU 0405
Memory: 14.5 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD Custom GPU 0405

Sorry for the long wall of text, I just notice that terraria is marked down as "Verified" so I was wondering if I was the only one having this issue I wouldn't have reported it if it was only happening in the modded version but it's happening pretty frequently in the vanilla version too.

Nvm I seem to have somehow fixed it. Turns out I just needed to re-install the game I think something might have gone corrupt when I was installing it the first time.

Edit: 17/08/2022

I thought I fixed it guess not still happens after a fresh installation.

Update: The Issue is now Fixed it turns out it was the Docking Station I was using afterall I'm guessing Terraria draws more power than other games suprisingly as I was running Miku and not having the same issue.

I'm using the new JSAUX Docking station for the steam deck were before I was using the ivoler one from amazon. (For anyone wondering)
