Crystal Project rules, it'll definitely be a mainstay on the Deck when mine returns

Youtubers making videos of varying length about what they, personally are playing on Steam Deck has to be some of the lowest quality content I have ever seen.

That's not what that video is though. At least the 5 minutes I watched. Which were just some stream of conscious about what he'd rather play on a tower or on a Steam Deck. Idg how that is useful or interesting at all. It's literally just some dude listing what games he's playing.

I'm not trying to hate if you enjoy it, more power to you. I've just seen multiple YT guys posted itt making these videos "I thought I would play x on deck but instead I'm playing Y" and idg why I should care about it anymore than they should care what games I'm playing.

gently caress always online DRM, the servers for Hitman are acting up and now everything loads extremely slowly, sometimes hanging forever. Can't save anymore and after doing a perfect run I don't even get to see my silent assassin rating. Also finished the mission, but exits wouldn't spawn until minutes later, because apparently the win condition is decided by the server...

 I hope this is accurate. I just sold a revised Tundra for $380 so I have even more cash than usual burning a hole in my slush fund.

Does anyone have issues with force closing games? It seems like every time I can't get a game to close normally the force close shortcut does absolutely nothing.

Same, a (soft) reboot is the only thing that solves it when this happens. I'm gonna try to use system monitor (added as non-steam game) to close hanged apps next time it happens.

I've had to force close quite a few times in the 1 day I've had it - too many times. All but once keeping both keys pressed for a while eventually closed the game. I did one power button hard reboot, though that may have been before I learned to keep Steam+B pressed for long enough. It's surprising to see repeatable crashes in Elden Ring for example. Certain settings changes require quitting back to the main menu to take effect. The next Continue from there is a guaranteed game crash. Next start up is fine. Wouldn't have noticed those crashes as much if I wasn't chasing the 40/40 dream with ER, but I've given up on it for now. Game is great at 30/60 though the difference in input lag is noticeable even to me who is otherwise not overly sensitive to it. It's not a deal breaker by a long shot, but the difference is there. 40hz/40fps is such a cool idea.

What is the per-game TDP power limit supposed to do? I've set it to 10W in for eg Dark Souls 2 and the game will sit at 13+W all the time. Is it limiting just CPU power draw? And you have to use GPU frequency to limit GPU power draw? It makes sense that you can't have one limit across the 2, since deciding how to distribute allocation can't be done well automatically, so best to leave it to the user. Any tips on how to tweak/manager power for lengthening battery usage would be appreciated.

Yes I think TDP is just for the cpu. In my (very brief) testing it doesn't seem to do anything unless it's set to minimum, at which point everything lags. A guide on how to get results out of the TDP/GPU clock settings would be good, because I can't seem to do anything except cause the game to run poorly. I'm not sure setting it lower actually does anything because the CPU and GPU are supposed to clock down when not being used anyway. I could be totally wrong, but I think you can achieve better results by just setting the fps cap / refresh rate lower and letting the cpu/gpu manage themselves.

Yeah, settings and fps caps seem reasonable enough for now. I like that the power port is on top, unlike the Switch. I have a lightweight braided cable that flexes well enough that you don't feel its drag on the Deck if charging while playing. Charging while using the Switch feels more uncomfortable. Wish there was a Steam+? shortcut binding to toggle the fps/power overlay. Though I guess you can hit the ... button to get a quick look at battery while in a game.

Has anyone played around much with Action Sets and Layers on the Deck? The Steam Controller interface is different on Deck from PC and I can't figure out how to do something that's pretty straightforward on PC: binding the touchpads to joystick movement (left) and mouse look (right) while also letting them be dpad on click on the left and ABXY on click on the right. I've created layers on the Default action set with the dpad and button keys and then bound that to the click action on the touchpad but that doesn't work. Tried a new action set, but no dice with that either. This is straightforward to do on the Steam Controller, so I'm sure I'm just missing something different in the new interface. With my larger hands I find reaching the L1/R1 bumpers a bit too cramped when using the dpad/ ABXY. I've bound L1/R1 to L4/R4 back buttons for but and that works ok, but it'd be cool to see if I could finally get used to pure touchpad use on this device.

LOL that I’m spending my weekend meticulously going through all the consoles in EmulationStation/RetroArch/etc…, setting up each new one perfectly to my liking and ignoring any Steam games. The fact that this particular aspect of the Deck draws like only 7 watts is even better.

My late-night game has recently been Paradise Killer. It's a super chill investigation game where you walk around a vaporwave world full of wacky poo poo to look at while listening to vaporwave tunes and try to figure out who murdered a bunch of narcissistic sociopaths that everyone had a reason to hate. It also works super well in 40hz mode for saving battery.

Can't link because steam mobile doesn't do urls to copy, but bomber crew is free right now. Supposed deck compatible as well. It is another ftl type game.

What you're looking for is mode switching, and I can't find a way to do it in the Deck's interface either. You'll have to go into desktop mode and open Steam and do controller configuration there.

Thanks for bringing it up. https://store.steampowered.com/app/537800/Bomber_Crew/ (In the steam app you can click a share button - it’s next to “follow” - then just tap the url and it will copy to clipboard) If anyone else is looking at this, don’t buy the discounted Deluxe edition. If you want to maximize your $$$, claim the free one then independently add all the DLC. The Deluxe still charges you for the base game (and includes a soundtrack which I also didn’t care to purchase).

40 Hz kills GTA V performacne for some reason. Really liking the new fan curve though, most of the time the deck is like actually silent now, where it was blowing leafs before.

I tortured myself by constantly checking the live tracking for my steamdeck today, as it was due for delivery around lunchtime. The driver got to round the corner from me and then suddenly live tracking was no longer available. I'm hoping he just finished his shift and it'll come tomorrow instead, rather than that he decided it was worth pinching! So close yet so far...

jokes posted:Everyone with the deck for emulation: does it ever get hot/loud/low battery? Especially in fast forward mode or whatever? What do you mean? Most emulators use only a fraction of available power, but the deck will always run a bit hot instead of always blasting the fan fill force. There are tons of videos available of people playing emulators on the deck with indications of battery time. Think about 6 hours on battery for gb/GBA games, with the deck basically silent, and like 1.5 hours when emulating breath of the wild, deck going basically full tilt. The deck never gets hot for the user. The grips are far away from the motherboard so you won't feel any heat.

I was concerned that it wouldn’t be optimized for emulators and it would cause the fans to get loud or tax the processor too much. I don’t imagine valve is doing a lot of work on behalf of emulators, so I assume that falls on the emulator community which I don’t think has much resources. The capability of the hardware is hard to peg in relation to hardware elsewhere, like is it similar to an 8700 and a 1060 or something? People say “it can run elden ring I’m sure it can run an emulator fine” but you’d be surprised. Also, being extremely optimized for a blockbuster AAA game doesn’t really translate to being able to play GameCube games at upscale resolutions at turbo speed or whatever.

From what I understand the hardware isn't that whiz-bang. Steam says its equivalent to a Ryzen 3750, and digital foundry compared it at 800p to a 1050ti at 1080p.
