Over the past few weeks, my Legion Go has started having this 'rendering' issue with windows that don't have a maximize option. I even tried formatting it and starting completely from scratch, but the problem comes back after a couple of reboots. Just to be clear, I've tried both Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. I also made some registry tweaks after asking an AI about the issue, but none of the suggestions fixed it. Any ideas?

Hi.

so 2 days ago my right controller started disconnecting randomly or when I press the stick in.

When I reset the controller by pressing the reset button on the side it works perfectly till I restart my Go 2. After that this problem is coming back.

I don’t know what to do next. Any ideas?

So I bought a Go S Z2 Go Windows edition a few days ago, but for some reason in the quick access bit of legion space there’s no fps limiter option like there should be. I’ve made sure everything is updated within legion space and windows updates. Anyone got any ideas?

Hello, I had the original Legion Go, I was looking into the Legion Go 2 with the Z2 extreme processor, but the price is pretty insane now, what are people’s thoughts on it, is it worth the around $600 dollar price increase they’ve done to it?

Hi All,

Wanted to provide some updates/information during the launch window.  I know this doesn’t address all concerns from all current and prospective owners but I wanted to provide the updates we do have.  All below subject to change and only indicative of plans at the time of writing.  Some are follow-ups from the AMA.

• Space: Another update coming around November 10th, and another 2-4 weeks after that.
• Space: Darker UI option will be released around November 10th
• Space: DPI Settings for FPS mode will appear in Controller settings once FPS mode is toggled on (already implemented in 1.0.2.1)
• Space: Right Legion button optimizations are being worked on so that it is quicker and more intuitive to access performance settings and toggles.
• Space: Trackpad DPI and Joystick Deadzone management are work in progress
• Space: Working on making "Apply Game Profile" more intuitive, some improvements coming around November 10th
• Drivers: New VGA drivers are coming very soon (within next 72 hours) and can be found here when available:
• https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/legion-series/legion-go-8apu1/downloads
• Gyros: 3 Total, one in each controller and one in the main unit.

Thank you.

The LeGoS is an amazing device and I’ve been enjoying it everyday after work. I also bring it with me to work incase I want to sit outside and play while on break.

how do you guys use yours and what out of the ordinary places do you take it to?

Just got an update for Legion Space and the controller. But it seems TDP settings and fan speed control for each power profile are gone and only allowed on custom settings now. Did Lenovo move it somewhere else? Or they decided to remove it? 😐

I prefer the old one to be honest. Where I had the full control of TDP settings and fan speed control for each power profile.

Hi All,

We've been working on some 3D files for community release.  This is not 100% to where we wanted it to be but considering how long it's been I wanted to try to at least get what we have out to the community.  You're free to tinker with and use this however you want.  It is a draft/prototype for a controller holder and Pogo Pin cover:

This at least gives you the rail designs to work with for other projects you may want to pursue as well.  We're not releasing this with any kind of license or restrictions as this was intended for community/general use.  We will at some point have an official controller connecter available for the Legion Go that is not based on this design.

If you have any feedback feel free to leave it here and I can pass along to the mechanical engineering teams.  While I will continue to look for opportunities to release additional 3D files this may be all we get for a while.

Files (zipped): Legion-Go-STP.zip

Thank you!

Hi!

I just noticed recently that my Legion Go is restarting every time after putting it to sleep, waking up, and launching a game. Launching a game after the restart works as intended, the game starts normally. Did anyone else experience such behavior?

I have all the official software updated (including the official GPU drivers from the lenovo website).

The Legion Go 2 have serious performance issues. No matter the TDP setting you use, the CPU will always steal power from the GPU.

For example if TDP is set to 17W, the CPU will always keep 10 Watts for itself starving the GPU. The Xbox Ally X on the other hand, uses 5 to 6 Watts for the CPU.

This is what me and many other people observed in Bazzite. This issue is not tied to Bazzite though, Windows have it too.

It's a software issue that can 100% be fixed with a Bios update.

Spread the word so that Lenovo can fix it.

Hello people! I wanted to satisfy a curiosity, I prefer not to use handheld companion, as it conflicts with legion space by changing all the tdp and settings. Were you able to get legion go's gyroscope to work using riujinx? It doesn't work for me. although I also tried to activate it from legion space. I want to play my backup copy of Another code, but I get stuck on the first puzzle, where you have to rotate the stool to get the key out, where you have to use the gyroscope.

It's really embarrassing that months after the release of Legion Space, it still seems like software in the beta phase. With few options, and those few also incomplete. What's the point of the gyroscope being able to emulate the right or left analog? the gyroscope must be a motion sensor. stop. it doesn't have to emulate anything. however in legion space you can only set it as a right or left stick emulator. I won't install handheld companion as I said, because it conflicts with legion space. but lenovo, DO YOU WANT TO WAKE UP? graphic updates after months, legion space in beta phase, the guy who was here to answer users before the release of legion go has disappeared. Were you just waiting to make money with this product and then not care about consumers? I answer, yes.

I have another thread about how my battery was declined despite having warranty. They accepted it after having to go through a bunch of different customer support people.

I sent the device in and they emailed me a week later and said my SSD was now broken. I have pictures showing with a date in the screen it was sent in as working.

they asked, and I told them to fix it. They did not. They sent the device back with no SSD installed and damage to the back cover. Now I have a device that is basically dead, and to top of off the battery was at 0% and I question if they even replaced that.

it’s been days and not a single call back from customer service about it after I’ve contact multiple times.

I’ll probably most likely return the Go 2 I recently purchased as I don’t have faith in this company any more.

I’m not even mad. Just highly disappointed that after over a month of asking them to honor my warranty, they send back a device that isn’t working and worse off than when it was sent in.

Lenovo has posted about the recent update including several beta improvements that should help owners of the Legion Go 2. https://gaming.lenovo.com/news/post/steamos-3-8-0-preview---legion-go-2-changes-ydGiqeOPmNxRLfa

The update notes on the Steam page release seem more general and don't mention Legion Go devices in particular.

I am curious if anybody here has tested this preview update on their device(s). I am also interested in people who own older versions of the Legion Go to hear their experiences.

Thanks for sharing!

I was wondering if anyone else had experienced their joysticks having significant movement when they move their device, almost like gyro but not quite as consistent. I haven't experience this bug (or feature I guess) with any other devices so I was wondering if it was a legion go thing I wasn't understanding or a shared experience at least.

First, a disclaimer - I have been using Linux for many many years and things that most people consider difficult or obtuse are easy for me. So any statements about Linux's ease of use should be taken with a bit of salt. 😁

So I bought my Lenovo Legion Go with the full intent to dual boot with Linux, and I couldn't be happier!

Nobara Steamdeck Edition was really easy to install (relative to other linux distros) and 90% of the device's features are working without doing anything else.

However, I'm a bit picky so I swapped out a bootloader that supported touchscreen selection (rEFind), and found a wonderful guide that brings the functionality almost to parity with Windows (and actually superior in a few ways) - https://github.com/aarron-lee/legion-go-tricks

The end result is something that feels better to use than Windows. Nobara running in "Gaming Mode" (Big Picture) uses only 1.6GB of barely breaks 2.5GB with a third party launcher running. This means that setting the UMA memory allocation (Vram allocation) to 8GB works a lot better! Even launching into "Desktop Mode" provides a better experience than Windows 11 in many places - mainly resource usage and responsiveness. 

Ultimately, I'm considering shrinking my Windows partition to be only used for Firmware and Bios updates going forward. Linux provides that good of an experience for me.

Linux still probably isn't for the non-technical quite yet, but in a year or two, it might be! In the meantime, if you like to tinker, consider this an enthusiastic recommendation to give it a shot!

This thing rocks, wish I would have gotten sooner.

Hi guys,

are you currently also experiencing your LegionSpace not to start anymore? It is a real pity...

After the first 24H2 Windows 11 Update it worked, after restarting the system (without any update) it suddenly stopped working at all anymore...

Than I tried to install the second 24H2 Update and nothing changed...

Also deinstalling and reinstalling LegionSpace didn't help... It is really annoying not to be able to access to the side menu of LegionSpace anymore to be able to change important settings like brightness/TDP and so forth...

Once I klick onto the LegionSpace button, Legionspace tries to start up and the screen is getting black, after 4-5 seconds it crashes and doesn't start up and goes back to the normal Windows 11 screen without starting the software...

Ben Green Are you aware of this issue? I never had it before, and it seems to be in conjunction with the latest Windows update...

Been thinking of replacing my desktop with a legion simply for the versatility. I know i will need an eGPU for intense gaming but i'd settle for default graphics setting. What ya'll think?

Planning to use it as a gaming device and occasionally boot into Windows. Thinking I should wait for the Steam version to save a few bucks.

Legion Space has been making new attempts, which is a good thing. It is hoped that they can have more innovations while understanding users' preferences, such as expanding lighting effects and automatic performance configurations for more games.
