Elden Ring is already fully verified (notable since it uses EasyAntiCheat)

I was curious about it. I’ve heard the Pc port is pretty rough though

Disappointing Pie
Feb 7, 2006
Words cannot describe what a disaster the pie was.
I’ve got 16 gigs of ram, a 2080ti, an ryzen 3600 and game installed to a nvme and I’m getting stutters out the rear end in the game.

Nah, not like this. The consoles have inconsistent, sub-60 frame rates, but you don't get any hitching. The PC gets occasional severe chugging, but not everyone seems to experience it the same.

Is this similar to what was happening in deathloop?

The inconsistent frame times from bouncing between 30 and 60hz is a kind of stutter :colbert:

No, it's completely different. Deathloop had a camera that moved at a different tick rate from the frame rate, which made it feel really juddery. This is like, "the game drops down to 5fps for a second" kind of stuff. It happens for me most often during boss fights.

pretty disappointing after how smoothly sekiros launch went by fromsoft standards

elden ring is their first venture into dx12 so that may be where the issues lie

Valve made a free Portal spinoff as a demonstration app for the Steam Deck

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVDFJRM6F9k

quote:

Introducing Aperture Desk Job — a free playable short made for Valve's new Steam Deck, set in the universe of the modestly popular Portal games.

Desk Job reimagines the been-there-done-that genre of walking simulators and puts them in the lightning-spanked, endorphin-gorged world of sitting still behind things.

You play as an entry-level nobody on their first day at work— your heart full of hope and your legs full of dreams, eager to climb that corporate ladder. But life's got other plans, and they all involve chairs.

Playable on the Steam Deck, Desk Job walks you through the handheld's controls and features, while not being nearly as boring as that sounds.

Yes, valves strong point, software development. Steam itself has a lot of long standing issues.

I got this to play games though so as long as I can launch them I'm good.
