Biggest annoyance from the deck so far (and still), only works when I set it up through proton directly, but the settings are getting frequently wiped. Have not found any solution yet.

Biggest annoyance from the deck so far (and still), only works when I set it up through proton directly, but the settings are getting frequently wiped. I'm using a PC on static IP without wifi (ethernet to router) and warpinator/winpinator work just fine. Go to winpinator and warpinator's preferences and change the network adapter selection from auto to your ethernet adapter on each device. I dunno what yours is on the PC, but on the Deck it is wlan0. If I leave winpinator on auto, it shows the Deck as offline in the list, but changing the pref to my ethernet adapter instead of auto changes the status to online.

Yes I couldn't get it to work either until I told it the right ethernet adapter.

Doesn't change anything, the Deck in its DHCP wifi environment is not detected by Warpinator within static IP LAN. /its not even "offline" - its not detected at all unless I change the Deck to static IP, which for some completely unknown reason never works from the Steam UI directly and when setup through Proton works (also works when then switching back to Steam and using the connection) but gets wiped eventually, resetting the connection to "Auto" within proton Maybe its a router thing but its a fairly common one and not overly customized setup haldolium fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Jul 4, 2022 |

Ive been turning the gyro off because having it always on when touching the right stick was making me seasick when running around in fps games but that might actually work for me.

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? Mine is also on the way, and I’m gonna be on a shifty hotel wifi so downloading the games or using a wifi file transfer app is not an option. I did some research and it seems the best method is to transfer your games to an external USB-C drive if you have one. Then let the Steam Deck format the SD card, go into desktop mode, plug in the external drive, transfer your games to the Steam Deck’s game folders (should be steamapps/common just like in Windows.) Once the games are inside the Deck, then go back to the Gaming UI and choose to download those games. The Deck should find them already in its storage, verify integrity, and download any proton compatibility files it needs

People who have Decks: how is the battery drain when sleeping? One thing I don’t like about my Switch (maybe the only thing other than lack of Bluetooth audio) is that after a few days of sleeping the battery is dead or nearly so.

Checked the Fed Ex shipping: 7/5/2022 by end of day Initially expected: Friday, 7/8/2022 ---- Valve putting in priority shipping over the 4th weekend? That seems utterly crazy it jumps up from shipping yesterday morning to being here two days later from the midwest.

I think "sleep" is more of a mismomer for this console than it is for anything that can still run downloads like the Switch/PS4 do, this seems to be more of a full-on "save ram state to disk and shut down" hibernate. Network connections drop, downloads halt, unresponsive to anything but the power switch, the whole shebang.

It's great when I need to set the deck down to do something that might take more than a minute so I don't burn a ghost into the screen but also not every game is cool with sleep being used as a pause button.

Network connections drop, downloads halt, unresponsive to anything but the power switch, the whole shebang. Shutting all that poo poo down is what usually happens when a computer goes to sleep but it maintains a trickle of power to keep memory active and allow quick resuming. Hibernate is when it writes state to the disk and shuts down completely and consumes zero power and laptops can last a long time that way, way longer than a week. Consoles that still download and poo poo while "sleeping" are just turning the CPU & GPU speed/power way down but still running and those obviously consume more power while "sleeping".

RandomBlue posted:Consoles that still download and poo poo while "sleeping" are just turning the CPU & GPU speed/power way down but still running and those obviously consume more power while "sleeping". Depending on the console that can be a more complex set up than running the main cpu at low power. The PS4 for eg has a low power ARM coprocessor with its own low-power 256MB memory that is used for rest-mode downloads. They seem to have designed the Deck to turn off completely when suspended, which I think is a great decision for many reasons, not least heat dissipation when in the case. One of the motivations for the PS console's download while suspended feature is their lovely, lovely, lovely download infrastructure which will sometimes start you off at lovely speeds and stay there. At other times it would start you off at an ok speed but then dropped you to lovely speeds. Disconnects, the works. Steam on the other hand comes with the best download infra I've seen. I routinely get 600+ Mbps downloads and have seen 800+ Mbps (over wifi from my desktop no less). There's no reason to do things while sleeping. Where power while downloading is concerned, steam decompression eats up a bunch of CPU - which I think is more a function of the size of game installs these days than inefficiency. So it's going to use power for that whether in rest mode or not. I think the PS4's download while in rest mode was more to mask their lovely download infra than to give you power savings. Reading all that again, it's pretty clear nursing PS4 downloads has left deep scars.

What are some Tactics games that fit the Steam Deck? I love turn based poo poo on hand helds so I can fall asleep or something in the middle and keep going when I wake up. Just ordered my Deck this morning so I am scanning the sale for anything before it ends.

What's especially weird is games where I have a copy of in steam and in GOG, the steam version runs but the GOG version always fails to load. Any ideas? Do you require that they launch through the heroic games launcher or are you fine if they just work? I've got a handful of things, GoG games included, that launch natively through the Steam Deck's interface. Won't cloud sync but other than that it'd be hard to tell they weren't Deck Compatible.

It’s possible, but unlikely it’d be done by Apple themselves. The closest we have right now is Crossover, which is a subscription program (about $40 a year) which works pretty well in making windows games work on MacOS. Andrew Tsai did a good video on how to get the best prices on that if you do go down that route. https://youtu.be/5tuWFR_QHcs

I don't, I think someone else might work on a Mac version of Proton similar to MoltenVK, the compatibility layer for using Vulkan on Mac but given Valve are going all in on Linux (again) I don't see them doing more to support MacOS. It's not out of the question for Apple to do something themselves, the Apple Silicon GPUs right now are extremely good but also seriously lacking for anything to really push them but it's not something I'm expecting, especially when the focus at WWDC seemed to be way more about getting more Mac and specifically AS native games.

Valve spent all this time and money to get away from a platform like windows, there's no way they put effort into MacOS, especially how absolutely awful it is for gaming.
