I have a very dumb question. If I’m in 2nd quarter shipping, do I still have to pay this week or will I pay whenever my deck is ready for shipment?

since ubisoft connect running in the background is required for many ubisoft games, does that mean the ubi connect launcher itself will work? or do their games do some alternative check instead when running in SteamOS? I'm asking because the former would presumably mean you could run your non-steam ubisoft connect games.

The United States posted:No, not working means tested and found not to work The one downside of the ratings I'm seeing from the compatibility system is it only tests games with no modification. Duck Game does work in Proton but you need to pass a launch flag to the game: https://www.protondb.com/app/312530 Hopefully that's something that can be improved in the future, either by automatically using certain launch flags on Proton per game or some other way.

Weird that Surviving Mars doesn't work, that has a native Linux port. I wonder if it is a text size thing? But Stellaris is listed as working.

You can hover over the game in the list and click Steam Deck Compatability and it can give you more information about what's blocking it eg.   although most of the fully unsupported ones just say "Valve is still working on adding support"

How does streaming games to the deck via steam remote play work since the deck has an unusual screen ratio. Does it mean if you are streaming from a standard 16:9 you will have black bars somewhere?

I've never used Steam's streaming services but most modern games can handle wacky resolutions fine. And if not you can just change the resolution to a common standard either in the game, or the Deck itself, or in the streaming settings. Which means you'll get black bars (unless you're okay with a stretched image).

16:10 isn't that wacky, most games support it and I don't think its on by default but there's an option to change your desktop resolution to whatever the client is using, so in that case you won't get letterboxing. If you do get letterboxing for whatever reason you're only losing 80 pixels its not that big a deal.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Vampire Bloodlines not working is some whack poo poo It works fine as long as you install the unofficial patch, which you need to do on Windows anyway. This is one of those cases where the game itself is kinda broken out of the box, it's weird they're still selling it in the state it's in. The publisher really needs to make the unofficial patch official somehow.

Remember that a non-checkmarked game will probably still run, but might need tweaking, maybe some cumbersome controls in certain parts (like w text entry or very precise mouse movement combined with hotkeys), need a non-steam patch, or might run a bit below 30fps on the target resolution. Even some tiny text on screen can result in a yellow check. Verified games (should) work just like on a console: install and run, nothing else needed. But I'd think a bit of tweaking is no problem at all for most goons, hell, most steam deck owners even. Who would pre order a steam deck or even hear about it when it launched without any knowledge of these kinds of things that are pretty much necessary for a lot of pc gamers? Anyway, it's still a really good thing that Valve is trying to make pc gaming easier, more streamlined and more open, but a verified on steam deck checkmark isn't that important imo.

I looked at some of the games folks mentioned above. I won't do this regularly, but I like to keep an eye on why popular things aren't working. Lost Ark, Watch Dogs 2, and Outriders all use EAC, so they require changes from the game dev or publisher to work in Proton. Just Cause 2 does work, but there was a Steam bug on the Deck that prevented it launching during the cert process. That's been fixed, but it'll need to go through cert again which may take some time. Vampire Bloodlines 1 is a buggy mess on Windows, too. Surviving Mars is a native game, so nothing to do with my work. Hopefully the game devs will fix issues on Deck and resubmit for cert. Darksiders, and Q3 Arena have undiagnosed bugs. They aren't high up enough on the priority list to have received attention yet.

Still after Q2 here. I wonder how many people who got in earlier that day will follow through and actually buy the thing. It's easy to throw down 5 bux as a "well maybe" measure, not so much 649+ when the time comes. I'm prepared to throw down though.

TLDR: linux desktop... Compatibility is totally fine. Things loaded a tiny bit slow, though. God it's the weirdest thing to take a game from my childhood, grep for it's name on a unix terminal and get back a windows .exe and get back a bunch of stuff   proton experimental always seems to update every week or so sorry for the nerd bullshit - but this feels like hoodoo-juju magic. code:Coffee Jones fucked around with this message at 08:21 on Feb 24, 2022 |

Still Q1, but still feel like it will somehow disappear from my grasp at the last minute. Why haven't they shown off the Dock yet or given a price?
