The latest update to Fallout 4 has addressed a particularly pesky issue that has been plaguing users on the Steam Deck for some time now: the crashing of the on-screen keyboard. As reported by GamingOnLinux, Bethesda has finally released a fix for this problem, much to the relief of players who have been dealing with it for years. While the fix may seem minor, resolving such issues is crucial for ensuring a smooth player experience, especially on popular devices like the Steam Deck and SteamOS.

Upcoming Releases and Offers
For RPG enthusiasts, The Lantern of the Laughless Saint, a Morrowind-inspired RPG, has entered early access this week. Described by RockPaperShotgun as a ‘weirdfest,’ the game is drawing attention for its unique dialogue camera and intriguing start.
Those looking to experiment with modern real-time strategy can check out the “RTS Renaissance Digiphile Bundle,” now available. GamingOnLinux reports that the bundle provides a collection of strategy games at a competitive price point, appealing to fans of the genre.
Free Trials and Hardware Market Concerns
Players can try out Wardogs, a new FPS game with a closed test available this weekend. As PCGamesN noted, this might be the last chance to play for free before its official release on September 10, especially given its high anticipation with over a million wishlists on Steam.
Finally, if you’re considering building a new gaming PC, PCGamesN questions the feasibility of constructing a $1,200 gaming rig in 2026. The ongoing AI boom has driven up prices for essential components like graphics cards and RAM, complicating efforts to build a budget-friendly yet high-performance PC.
