No telling when that'll be. I like the thing for gaming much more than I thought I would. Part of that is because I can play while lying entirely on my back.

Lockback posted:MS released step by step instructions including Linux commands to get gamepass streaming working on the Deck, so I don't think they care much about what OS you're on. Also the Steam Deck is like 4 months old so Why wouldn’t game pass streaming just work out of the box with a browser?

Lots of people talking about their success stories getting favorite games to run on Deck. Anyone have failure stories? That game you love which just refuses to run correctly? I'm not interested in hearing about games where the Deck is not powerful enough to run it, but rather games which it feasibly could run but the software just won't work in Proton.

I absolutely cannot figure out how to mod Final Fantasy 12. It runs perfectly vanilla but I want to play the Struggle for Freedom mod, which requires installation/deployment through Vortex.

Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Returns: everything is offscreen so there's no way to even access the option to try to change the resolution Tales of Beseria: not supported Olija: not supported Bionic Commando Rearmed: AGEIA PHYSX error (the bad 3D Bionic Commando game works though) Rocketbirds, Recettear: no audio Powerslide: there seems to be no way to get it to map the deck controls as direct input, so you're stuck mapping them to the keyboard, which works but isn't as robust - on the plus side the deck has some sort of GLIDE wrapper built in, so the native 3DFX support works (but only at 800x600, which may be a 3DFX limitation) Lots of other games: Video plays with the weird interlacing and bad colors, or doesn't play at all (color bars) Assepoester fucked around with this message at 07:18 on Jun 27, 2022 |

Couple of random issues. I played Doom 2016 for a couple of hours and overall it was pretty flawless other than a slight frame dip here and there, Mostly running at 50-60 it seemed though. but then tonight I fire it up and after hitting continue it just never gets past the loading screen, restart the steam deck, same thing but then the game also just straight up crashes. Attempt 3 the game loads but it runs like unplayable dog poo poo now. Straight up freezing for seconds, Fluctuating between like 5 and 60 fps constantly...No idea what happened there. It's not even playable atm it runs so bad and it was almost butter before. The store keeps going back to the main page from like 2 weeks ago. It'll load correctly, but if I click on a game and hit B to go back instead of bringing me to the previous page it's some sale that ended like 10 days ago. I dunno if there is some cache I need to clear or what. Also games sometimes turning into a slide show (like 1 frame every 3 seconds) in random cutscenes in games and then being fine once I skip it.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Has anyone looked into custom bootloaders or being able to share the SD card between windows and steamos? This video has a cool setup but doesn’t actually explain how to set it up Technically, if you format the card as FAT32 both OSs should see it. idk if Steam OS will let you install and run games on that, or how it would affect performence over the native file system.

I was playing FFVII: Remake earlier today and the game had absolutely abysmal loading times for some reason and I was getting FPS hitching left and right, cutscenes would just hang up. It turns out that the Deck was downloading and patching several games in the background and some of them where several GB worth of poo poo to patch, I guess I was bottlenecking the hell out of the CPU trying to run FFVII: Remake at the same time. Maybe it was the same in your case?

By far the Deck’s biggest flaw for me is that downloading basically has to be done by queueing up a bunch of games, preventing it from entering sleep mode, and just leaving it on the downloads page with nothing else running in the background. Major pain in the rear end.

It's so weird it can't do that because everything else I own can except my laptop and I guess it's a PC so...Still seems like a glaring flaw with steam OS though.

I was playing and enjoying the gently caress out of Renegade Ops on PC but the final level crashed every time and then the next day I got my steam deck and stupidly crossed my fingers I could finish it there but it wont even launch on deck  I don't think it's had an update in a decade so whatever.Also Chernobylite runs like poo poo, but it also runs like poo poo on my laptop that well exceeds the recommended requirements. That game just seems horribly optimized. I wish I refunded it when I had the chance.

Cloudpunk runs beautifully if that's your jam. Be aware that it's not heavy on skills-based gameplay and you spend most of your time cruising in a flying car across a gorgeous floating cyberpunk voxel city. And running around on foot to talk to people after reaching the various locations. The driving/flying is really super chill. The game does drain the battery on default settings, mind.

Major pain in the rear end. Yeah it really needs a "turn off screen and finish updates before going to sleep" option. The only problems I ran into so far were caused by the (3rd party) plugin manager leading to menu hangs, and some minor issues with switching between desktop apps/closing them while in gaming mode. Nothing big though, I'm amazed at how much games just work on this thing. A huge leap forward compared to how it was when the original steam machines launched.

The reason I think you cant download while sleep is that if you put it in the case and then queued some downloads this thing would melt. Of course they could just check temps and turnoff anyway, so who knows.

Yeah no, it would be reckless to download things in standby, both for battery life and thermals. A 'shut down after downloads' option would be nice though.

Downloading updates while plugged in and asleep seems totally reasonable, maybe we'll get that.

I couldn't get desk job to work on my deck when I got it. I fought it for about 20 minutes, then gave up after reinstalling and verifying the files. Kind of a bad look, but the only other thing that hasn't run right is XCOM.

Still would be a nice option to be able to turn on, maybe with a warning not to use the case? Mine has not been in it's case since since I got it so it's mostly a non issue. Then again there's still probably a non insignificant amount of people that would use it anyways, use the case and then claim it was defective when something goes wrong

I invite you to put it in your case while on. Since patching is extremely CPU and storage intensive, all that this standby mode would gain were a disabled display. It wouldn't actually be standby anymore.

It wouldn't actually be standby anymore. Maybe if they did an ultra low power mode it could work but I’d have to imagine everything would be throttled to hell so who knows how long everything would take. Even then I’m sure they would be concerned with the heat generation.

IMO, having a "update and turn off" feature is easy and should happen. Maybe also make a "poll and update if available" mode when plugged in. Anything else would be improper. The deck could run out of power or otherwise enter a bad state while unsupervised.

Last night I booted up Yakuza 7, it was the first time the fan got loud enough to be bothersome. I'm gonna try again with a locked 30 FPS, anything else I should consider to make it run more quietly?
