It only comes up when you have more than one window attached to an app. Also a fun thing is that the deck will absolutely let you run >1 game at once, although it does prompt you about it before doing it

TFW you realize you're elated because 512GB delivery minute moved by a whole 2 minutes and 19 seconds today instead of the 55s and 40s of the two days last week. Deckbot says I'm a mere 4 minutes and 10 secs away from nirvana. I'm not usually the type to go check on queues so well played, Steam Deck. It's mostly because I finally got around to Elden Ring and knowing I can play that decently on the Deck has me wanting it NOW.

I have to assume that it would happen automagically if it was working properly, since (I would think?) the only way for the steam OS to "know" what windows are associated with the game are because they're running in the same VM-- on a desktop, Steam thinks Elite Dangerous isn't running anymore when the launcher is closed because "the launcher" is the actual process it launches. In this case I'd assume there's just some additional setting or file location in XIV launcher that needs to be set for it to find the game again and launch it after an update

Figured out the dumb FFXIV issue. Game runs great obviously and it looks like I’m getting a good 3.5 to 4 hours of battery life at 60fps. I think once the 40hz update comes out I’ll run it at that.

Antigravitas posted:I prefer http://oss.digirati.com.br/f3/ Looks like the host is down right now but I'll check in on it later if I remember, thanks for the input! Samopsa posted:Man, about three weeks in and I love this thing. Basically great all around and getting significantly better with each update, and they're coming in fast. I have a lot of the same thoughts as you. My one dilemma is figuring out exactly what I should play on the Deck; my Steam account is ancient and my library is ridiculous, but I can at least narrow the selection down to controller-specific games (in other words, I prefer playing FPSs with keyboard/mouse so I can just limit those to my desktop.) The other consideration though is if I have the games on other platforms; you mentioned Celeste, for example, which I already started playing on the Switch, which is a suitable platform for that game as it's lightweight (in terms of performance and storage.) Might as well limit the Deck games to ones that are more demanding. I got the 512 version and installed a 1 TB card, which is mostly full; I absolutely don't have any performance issues with any games running off of the SD card, it's really quite transparent. I don't regret getting the 512 version even though I'm not currently using any of its local storage for games, but I do slightly regret the price premium for the relatively modest 512 GB SSD; if it used more ubiquitous 2280 drives then I could've just done the upgrade myself, but it's not like there's a huge selection of 2230 SSDs and that I could even find like a 1 or 2 TB drive to install. The fan is definitely noticeable, but aside from it being rattly one day, it's mostly just a prominent "whoosh." My real curiosity about it however is why it's so active, or rather the Deck's under such a stressful load, when it's simply updating games. The fan is usually on when the system is doing nothing other than downloading at a modest 3 MB/s, which along with the associated file operations can't be that demanding for a modern system. And on top of that, with the performance stats displayed, it's actually mostly GPU activity, sometimes approaching 100%, with very low CPU activity during these game installs/patches. Anyone know why this would be the case?

Latching onto your post, I would love a filter for games that are not KBM-first. I really don't want to play a shooter on the Deck, but something like Hitman will be fine with my playstyle. It seems a lot of shooters are Deck verified. Right now that's exactly what I am doing, sorting through my backlog and deciding on games that are better on controller anyway.

Has anybody tried using the Genki Covert dock with the Deck? I'm interested in getting a dock for my Deck (when it comes sometime in Q3) and since Valve doesn't seem to be exactly in a hurry to drop the official Deck dock I might as well see about getting a secondary more portable dock for my Switch in the process.

Well Steam's had filters for controller support (partial and full) for awhile now and that's actually what I've used to narrow down what game to install on other handhelds (e.g. the Razer Edge.) Beyond that though, there's no easy way to figure out what games should be installed on the Deck versus other options, for the aforementioned reasons of performance, longevity, playability/control scheme, and storage considerations (i.e. it's easiest to manage storage on a PC, and the hardest on the Switch.) And I forgot to mention this but with handhelds it becomes more than just "controller versus KBM" because there's the whole portability factor. So if I'm at home I'd rather play an FPS on the PC than a console, but being able to play the same game out of the house is an advantage despite the control scheme and perhaps performance limitations (say, for example, we're talking about the Doom reboots.) I actually installed Destiny 2 on the Deck (knowing that it won't currently run but likely will eventually) for another example since my brother started playing it again and I might join him if I could jump in while laying in bed or on the couch. All other things being equal, however, I'd absolutely prefer to play it on the PC. (I also installed Destiny 2 because I used the Backup & Restore feature to prepare currently installed games from my desktop and that was one of them, but the B&R feature doesn't work well yet that's a whole other story....)

It's made for the Switch so it outputs something like 40W, the Deck wants 65. When I use mine the Deck says that it's charging but slowly; I don't think the HDMI worked when I tried it but I didn't try too hard and Deck docking is a bit touchy since it's just "computer with an external output" Deck does works fine with any generic USB-C laptop dongle, but the Switch is the odd duck so unless you find a dongle that claims to work with both the Switch and any laptop I think you're stuck in either/or territory if you only want to buy one.

Switch is not special at all, it's also USB-C PD standard. Deck just needs the 20V profile 4 which is 45W-100W to charge wile running. Switch uses the 15V profile.

Switch absolutely works with generic docks/dongles, but the dongle (and the power brick) needs to be able to supply the 15V power profile for switch to start outputting HDMI mode (not DisplayPort or Thunderbolt) via USB-C 3. There's no proprietary nintendo stuff in the dock.

Had my 256 for a week or so and was messing around with emulators last night. This is gonna be my new portable PS1. Weird thing though is that most of my regular steam games just don't launch any more. It pops up like it's launching, shows me controls, and then I'm back to the steam library. I've tried running under proton and still no luck. Guess it's a factory reset for me :-/ tensai fucked around with this message at 19:55 on May 17, 2022 |

There's no proprietary nintendo stuff in the dock. Not in the dock itself, no; in the Switch's recognition of "is this a valid HDMI out", absolutely yes. quote:- When connecting a dock-like device to the Switch’s USB-C port it calls on Nintendo Alternate Mode. That is looking for the vendor identity and product identity (VID/PID) of the connected device. Generic (ie, "not advertised as for the Switch", bought from an Office Max with your laptop) dongles don't necessarily match "what the switch is looking for". It'd be great if they did, I've got like three of them I'd love to use instead of having "for nintendo switch only" crap laying around, but that isn't how Nintendo chose to implement their software layer so here we are. They all charge the switch just fine, but 0 of them trigger the "docked" mode on the switch itself. Plenty of third parties do make dongles for the Switch but that's not what I mean when I say "generic".

Apple has multiple different USB-C chargers, the versions that come with iPads are 18 or 20 W. Looking at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201700, most of the MacBook Pro (not Air) chargers are at least 67 W, except for the 2016 13" models which are only 61 W. pseudorandom name fucked around with this message at 20:32 on May 17, 2022 |

Yes the USB-C dongle also affects how much power is passed through to the device. I have a laptop that will not receive any power with its power adapter going through the standard Apple dongle but will with a cheapo KOOPMAN copy of the Apple dongle from amazon.

i was curious to see how demos would run on the deck and they seem to run fine (besides my defective deck's gpu issues). ran through the Supraland Six Inches Under demo with no issues. one odd thing is that some games that have demos, don't have links to them in the SteamOS version of the store page even though they're available on the proper Steam store page. all that really means is you just have to go into desktop mode to install that way, I guess. at some point I can throw up a list of demos of notable indie games if people want to test them out and see how they feel about playing them on the deck.
