I have a very large library. Every time I wake the deck, the following happens:
I forget that this bug exists
I try to move the cursor to the game I would like to play
Soon after I touch the dpad, the OS freezes for 3-5 seconds
While that's happening, the dpad direction I've been holding down (eg dpad right) is stuck being registered as pressed down even if I released it
During that time the cursor gets to the end of the list of games on the home screen
SteamOS starts spamming the loud annoying "you can't go further in that direction" sound for several seconds
Eventually, sometimes update downloads start happening
Based off of this, I think what's happening is that SteamOS is checking for updates on all my games. And since there are several thousand games, it freezes while trying to do this job.
The solution could be to do this work piecemeal or even in an asynchronous manner, and only ever check 500 games at a time.
This bug is pretty annoying and I hope it can get fixed sooner rather than later.
