Couple questions: Any way to stream my Xbox series x to the deck? Does browser support windows open side by side?

Man USB-C is wild. I have an 85W charger next to my bed that I use / used to charge literally every device (MacBook/iPad/Aya Neo/GPD win max) but if I try and use it with my Deck it actually sucks power from the deck lol. It’s not a no name brick either. I swapped it for a 65W one I had with no issues now.

I must admit I haven't even plugged in my official Deck charger. I've reappropriated my Thinkpad charger for both of those devices on my desk

Thought that was the aggressive battery management on the Deck's behalf? As in, intentional to preserve the batter itself.

The deck is the only device that has had issues with it and I can't imagine its an 85W issue but I don't have another high power charger to try it with to see.

MarcusSA posted:Man USB-C is wild. You should file a Deck bug report. USB PD has source/sink negotiation built in and that's making the wrong selection. I used to see this a few years ago but not so much these days, but it was usually when both ends could be a legit sink (laptop - phone, battery - laptop). It's weird you're seeing when one end is a charger which can't really be a sink you would think.

minusX posted:Try switching the cable around, and plugging in the battery before the deck. USB C ports can be setup to give power, take power, or both, and the last one is sometimes not fun. Yeah I didn’t get a chance last night because it was late and I just wanted to switch it and be done but I’ll play with it later today and see if it was just a fluke or a real issue.

Death Stranding Directors cut runs and looks amazing! Small bug though if you put the game to sleep when you come back from sleep and open the map none of the buttons work and you have to force close the game. The right stick still works though which is weird. Besides that 10/10

One of my friends has his deck. Honestly, it's heavier than I was hoping, and the length of time I've had to wait has caused me to just get this setup working for $30 (given that I already had the phone) My primary use case isn't being on the go (where do I go?!!?!!?), but, rather, playing my steam library from the couch late at night without having to use a PC, or turn on the projector etc. So, 95% of the time I want to use this, I will be on the same 5g network as my primary gaming PC anyway. Playing Horizon Zero Dawn through this, the lag is not noticable and I have to believe it looks better than it would on the deck given that the rendering is happening on a 5900x + 3090 machine. This does all that, and, yeah, it's not a full loving computer I can do a bunch of other poo poo with but the big pro to that is it's not another loving full PC I have to configure etc, and if I am just going to use the deck in pure deck OS mode.... I think I like my smartphone setup better? Hell, I can play on a 10" screen if I want, just need a $200 android phablet. We'll see how I react when I actually get the email, of course.

okay, I have hit one snag with Windows: the USB-C hub I'm using isn't passing through power to the Deck when I'm running Windows, but works fine on SteamOS. the USB drivers seem up to date, does anyone have an idea what the matter could be?

It seems that this fix has a chance of also bricking the machine as well. It worked fine for me much earlier, fwiw. Also iirc it has big warning signs of "do not do this if you have more than 50% battery life for the love of god" so I'd be curious if redditors read warnings

I forget if it's been said already but what kind of playtime are folks getting on their decks? I get 3~4hrs between charges and that seems kinda low to me. I know if I adjust screen brightness and such I can boost that.

you can extend battery life by enforcing the FPS limiter in the performance settings. because of my borked Deck, I minimize the maximum TDP in the performance settings to 3 watts, which gets me about 5-6hrs, buuuut obviously that impacts performance. there's also a new variable half shading option that apparently can improve battery life at the cost of performance as well. so it just depends on how much you want to compromise your experience (if you're playing 2D games though, you probably won't see much of a difference compared to, like, Death Stranding)

The 7th Guest posted:that's helpful to know! I expect I will be RMAing this just so I don't have to deal with the irritation of losing game progress from a crash, i just won't be doing it until i get back so i can play some games while i'm on break. i'll just stick to the games that run fine in the meantime, also test some games to see how they perform on these super-low settings so i can maybe put together a 'ideal low-power games' list for battery savers If it is this kind of issue, you should RMA, because I've had my deck for a couple months now and haven't had a single crash (yet). And I've played a wide variety of titles. I've got 112 games installed.

It seems that this fix has a chance of also bricking the machine as well. Yeah but the battery on my machine was going to run out without a way to charge it and it would have been a brick anyway, so what's the harm? There's dozens of reports of this fixing the issue and a couple people saying it didn't work so I'd rather have the potential of not having to RMA my machine rather than a guarantee? Anyway, Rogue Legacy 2 is out for real today and that's gonna be my bedtime run game for the foreseeable future.

A small niggle since it's easy to toggle anyway but it doesn't seem like the variable rate shading is per-game. I've found on some titles it impacts the quality noticeably more than others; Trackmania 2020 looks horrible with it on but I can hardly tell in Elden Ring.

I'll save these games for after the RMA: Amnesia Rebirth, Blacksad, Darksiders Genesis, Death Stranding, Metro Exodus, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Shadow Tactics... basically a lot of the AAA games I have I'll just wait.

Anyone else having a hard time just buckling down and actually playing a game on this? I’m still in the period that I’m just downloading stuff to see what runs and tinkering with it more than playing anything. This weekend I’m going to try to actually start playing in earnest. So far I’ve got what I’m going to play narrowed down to Metal Gear V, Death Stranding, No Mans Sky, or Sekiro. I’ve started all of them before but haven’t put more than a handful of hours in any.

That was my only complaint with this setup. I ordered a Kishi, but, I think that getting a used Samsung phablet is next because lol this picture from reddit (of a tablet that weighs surprisingly little for what it is)  We'll see if I still end up getting my deck. Setting a steamdeck up as a DAW seems like a good project, if really dumb edit: also the 8BitDO was supposed to be a controller for kiddo to play SNES games on, so, ordering a Kishi is cool and good and prevents me from hogging her poo poo.
