Yeah that is kinda odd, the one game I have that doesn't support Steam Cloud - the Secret of Mana remake - doesn't even have the icon for cloud saves in desktop Steam.

veni veni veni posted:Despite their obvious similarities I think the only market that the Steam Deck is going to steal from the switch is basically people that are playing a switch but would rather be playing on something else. The only overlap is pretty much gonna be indie games. Lockback posted:I'm pretty sure the Steam Deck is far more likely to be competing against the gaming PC market than the console market, tbh. I wonder if MH Rise would work better on a steam deck than a switch  I’ve been playing loads of handheld switch recently but for the most part stuff that is exclusive. I know you “can” install windows if you want to say try gamepass on it but I dunno that I actually would. My desktop is like, essentially from 2011 and I think no joke a steam deck might run some games better but I also will not be building a new one anytime soon

The deck feels so much nicer in the hands than playing my switch handheld. Maybe I should look into those joycon replacement things that are more this kind of shape.

Yeah, I find it a lot more comfortable. I remember getting cramps in my hands when playing Metroid Dread on the switch. I'm playing suikoden on the deck at the mo and loving it.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:My desktop is like, essentially from 2011 and I think no joke a steam deck might run some games better but I also will not be building a new one anytime soon With the exception of it running native 720p (which is a non issue in handheld mode as it looks crystal clear, but I'm sure it would look much rougher on my 65 inch 4Ktv and changing the resolution would probably cause performance issues) I feel like steam deck runs most games as well, or almost as well as my 2018 laptop that retailed at $1800. Just going off what I have played on all platforms, without any real scientific analysis, I'd say the steam deck plays things at about the same quality as a PS4 pro except at a lower resolution (and the deck has an SSD so it loads games 5 times faster) It's a pretty crazy little device. I played through like half of Titanfall 2 last night and really was having trouble wrapping my head around how I was playing something that looked and played that good on a friggin handheld.

This seems like the most comprehensive guide: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/install-windows-steam-deck There are some people who have got dual boot working on the internal storage, supposedly, but it seems quite a bit harder than this and the tutorials are all like bad Youtube videos and not nicely written up guides like this.

Why does the Steam Dreck count play time on a game while it's in sleep mode? Is this some sort of Steam-on-Linux thing?

I personally use CheckMyDeck. After you link it to your account, it's very satisfying to sort by "last change" and see which games in your library just got the green/yellow approval (or grumble at the unsupported mark).

What’s up with stuff that says it’s not compatible but is? Looking online RE3 seems to run great on deck and RE2 is verified and practically the same game but steam says the deck can’t run 3. Also surprised at some relatively big games in my library still being listed as a question mark. Just too early for it to be comprehensive/accurate or something?

They're *really* strict about the green tick, too. Siralim Ultimate is marked 'playable' instead of 'verified' because the opening splash screen still says 'press E to start' even though you can actually press A instead. Which is fair enough, I just think it's worth noting that yellow, at least, might mean 'totally fine'.

Oh yeah I didn’t mean the yellow marked games. I have a bunch of those and they have all been totally fine. I meant RE3 specifically has the little ghostbusters logo despite seemingly fine and all other related games being verified. Alternately metro last light is listed as untested while 2033 and exodus are verified. Just seems unlikely that no one has tested that game out at this point.

Incompatible as well as untested (obvs) doesn't mean it won't run. Some games which are tied behind 3rd party launcher drm are imo the only ones safely incompatible.

It's pretty ridiculous what can be marked as unsupported. Streets of Rogue is fully playable, however... https://steamcommunity.com/app/512900/discussions/0/3415431214838829075/

It means "we ain't promising poo poo about this working, good luck you're on your own". It means literally "not supported" as in there's no extra work going in to making it work. Unsupported has absolutely nothing to do with how difficult the game is to run on the Deck and everything to do with how many people there are to throw official time and money at it.

The Qudelix 5k is back in stock on their website if anyone is looking for a Bluetooth DAC/Amp to use with the Deck. $109 + $20 shipping. LDAC is low enough latency after a week+ of switching between it and AptX LL. The latter isn't a must have in a headset for the Deck, but def nice to have.

The iFi Go Blu will also work as a pure USB DAC - tested that with the desktop PC, though I don't know how it handles power/charging in that mode. E: For lots more detail on the Qudelix, click through the features here: https://www.qudelix.com/blogs/5k-dac-amp Just noticed this, emphasis mine: quote:SONY LDAC LDAC on the iFi Blu Go has been good enough for Elden Ring on the Deck. Looking forward to trying this out soon. E: Using USB power where available feeds into their DAC performance where they have 2 modes to extend battery life: https://www.qudelix.com/blogs/5k-dac-amp/es9218p More importantly for my use, there'll be more available power if I plug into a 5V USB looks like, which is a cool option to have. Their pride in their design is super cool to see. Read on some audiophile forum that the company was founded by one of the lead designers at another place who wasn't allowed to implement their ideas. Seems about right from those pages. v1ld fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Jun 12, 2022 |

Have they been open reservations or something where the preorder window opens for brief periods? I randomly opened Steam and saw that I could put a deposit down so I did.

We really need a better community rating system than Proton DB for compatability. I have played a lot of playable games that were much more compatible than Hitman/2 (You need to manually specify DX12 for it to not stutter) or say Project Zomboid. PZ does not deserve a Verified rating imo. Yes, youcan totally play it and their controller support is decent, but I need to fiddle with tiny mouse only controls every time I start a session. It's not compatible with the touch screen and is far from a native experience. Give us something like game ratings, let users vote on how compatible this poo poo is.
