I really love how versatile this device is. Can it run 3D games at 40fps with a good amount of fidelity? Yes. Can it also run Vampire Survivors for several hours? Very yes.

I gave in to the word of mouth of Vampire Survivors. Does it look like a burn victim. Yes. Do I constantly want to take another stab at it. Also yes.

But I also usually play near an outlet so the 2-3 hour battery life for 60fps AAA games works fine for me. I’d only really use the 40 fps cap on a trip where I couldn’t charge personally.

Animal posted:I’m hoping for Elden Ring locked at 40. Excellent. I have to admit, I've been mostly using my Deck to play games that could run reasonably well on a literal phone, like Siralim Ultimate and Monster Sanctuary. But I've installed Elden Ring on it now, I'm determined to break out of this habit.

No man's sky took a lot of reconfiguring to get the controls just right but it is great on the deck.

Same, I pulled up the "recommended" bindings and there's a couple minor nitpicks I have about the inventory tabbing but I think the only actual change I made was changing which back button was bound to run out of personal preference

MarcusSA posted:Let me know if you can get this because everything I’ve seen it seems like a locked 30 for sure but 40 not so much. i did like 100 hours of elden ring on the deck. I used the 40fps lock in steamOS, most settings on low, and resolution at 720p. This gave me framerate in the upper 30's for most of the game, and basically never going below 35. It wasn't rock solid 40fps though, but I didn't mind much. 30fps locked is very attainable with medium settings at 720p, very very infrequent dips below 30. Getting a solid locked 40 fps is some work/tweaking: use the low graphic presets and resolution at 540p with FSR to start off. Incrementally change your settings until you hit an acceptable balance with occasional dips. Can also depend on area/amount of enemies/spells/etc.

I am OK with aim assisted third person shooters on controller sometimes, though. But hey, these are just my arbitrary rules, don't let me stop you if you enjoy FPS on a controller, I just can't.

so my deck's only real problem just seems to be overheating and that's mitigatable with graphical tuning or forcing 40fps so i'm happy for now. so far only a couple of games have really set the deck into temperature hyperdrive, Blacksad, Hell Pie and Alekon (and I assume the XEL demo since it had a freeze, but I didn't check the temps at the time). In the case of Blacksad & Hell Pie I locked them to 40fps to dial down the GPU load, and Alekon I just changed some graphical settings and then I could keep it at 60. May just have to do with game optimization  Alekon is not a super GPU-intensive looking game (it's a Pokemon Snap-like) but it may just not be optimized for underpowered PCs. Makes me think any AAA game is gonna need an FPS lock to keep the Deck under 90C, while indie games will mostly be OK with some exceptions.I was able to play through all of Dysmantle and Crystal Project (a combined 75 hours) at 60fps and I only needed to make minor graphical tweaks to Dysmantle. So if a dev is really good at Unity or UE, or has a custom engine, then my Deck should be able to stay at safe temperatures

Siralim ultimate worth getting if I liked crystal project and monster sanctuary? I’ve basically gravitated towards 2d games only on the deck, 3d games are better for me with mouse and keyboard on my big PC.

Seems like the trade offs are not worth it, I’ll take a higher quality, stable frame paced 30fps over an ugly and unstable 40fps. I hope the next Steam Deck has a VRR screen with a range down to 30.

Help! A performance overlay appeared out of nowhere, top left in the pic, but I have it turned off in settings: I didn’t intentionally turn this on, but maybe I accidentally hit a shortcut or something? I pulled up the general performance overlay, and as you can see it’s turned off, so I don’t know where this is coming from. Appears in all games.

I've found that going to a few different levels on that slider then back to OFF usually fixes it. Otherwise give it a restart!

Question Time posted:Siralim ultimate worth getting if I liked crystal project and monster sanctuary? I’ve basically gravitated towards 2d games only on the deck, 3d games are better for me with mouse and keyboard on my big PC. It's not really very much like either of those. It's all about developing absolutely ridiculous synergies with your monsters. The story is paper thin and the campaign is really only the tutorial for how the game works. You can play it forever if it clicks with you, and it really did click for me. It's not all that difficult, but it is *awesome* when you hit on a monster combination that works and find an item that makes one of their abilities get extremely silly. If you like systems mastery you'll like it. Also you can get costumes that make your character into a dog or cat.

So I'm doing the steps to set up Gamepass on this thing and I'm stuck on the step where you add Microsoft Edge Beta as a non steam game. It just doesn't show up in the list of non-steam games to add, no matter how many times I add it to steam from the application menu. Anyone had this problem and get past this? I'm googling the problem but having trouble finding anything that addresses hangups at this step. edit: resolved it, it was just adding the game to steam and skipping a step for me, so I had like 6 Microsoft Edge browsers in there. Got it working though and this is pretty sweet, but of course just adds even more poo poo for me to decide from when playing, oy! edit 2: So I got PS5 remote play working too with Chiaki but it only works on my local network. Anyone know how to get that working outside a local network? Port forwarding has always been a bit of a weak point in my tech skills. I'm on Comcast/Xfinity. My router claims to let me do it and I used a guide to set up port forwarding, looked up my local IP, but I'm not sure how to get it to gel with Chiari itself. Once I set up the original PS5's settings I can't seem to find a way to go in and edit them. I'm also not sure I did the port forwarding right in the first place. if anyone's figured it out and has an idea, I'll try whatever is thrown at me tomorrow night. caldrax fucked around with this message at 08:51 on Jul 4, 2022 |

If I want to load up my SD card before my Deck arrives, precisely what should I format the card to? And can I dump the files into directories of my choosing or do I need to generate a specific directory structure?

The Deck has broken me into an unproductive slob, I haven't played video games like this so addictively since I was college accomplishing nothing in life. I find myself staying up until 4 or 5 every night just in bed on the Deck chipping away at my backlog.

Chimp_On_Stilts posted:If I want to load up my SD card before my Deck arrives, precisely what should I format the card to? And can I dump the files into directories of my choosing or do I need to generate a specific directory structure? Don't do it unless you're running linux on your current pc. The deck uses ext4 (with casefolding), which isn't supported by windows. My advice: let the deck format the card. You can copy over stuff later using wifi through warpinator (on the deck, install through the store in desktop mode) and winpinator (on your pc, from https://winpinator.swisz.cz/). It's hella quick and convenient. If you'd rather copy stuff without wifi you can connect an external HD or something to the deck, but remember it only has an usb-c port so you'll probably need a hub/dock; and you cannot charge the deck at the same time if you're not using a dock/hub that has power-passthrough. The file structure on the sd card is just like you're used to, you can just directly copy poo poo like ROMS or whatever in folders however you like. It's also possible to copy your steam library or certain games onto the deck's SD-card from another device and it should just work (it just needs to download some shaders/compatibility files for most games afterwards); but most of the time just downloading it from steam is faster/easier and makes sure it's all clean.

The new AI Somnium Files: nirvana initiative doesn't actually fill the screen all the way on the steam deck. I found out you can also like force a resolution, and even though I did that and messed around with the launcher settings, I still get black bars on the top and bottom. Watching this video, I can see the guy was able to override it but he doesn't provide any details. Anyone know how to do this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6tDXrzaBoA&t=256s

Goddamn, RE Village runs like a champ on balanced settings and the framerate cap at 40. Setting the gyro aim to L2 full press so it turns on when you're actually aiming made it even better to play. The Deck rules.
