Then pray I guess, depending on what compatibility layer it might want or if it works on proton at all it might start up, might need you to force proton, or may not work at all.

veni veni veni posted:One thing I was wondering, and forgive me for being naive as I know nothing about PC game licensing. How does taking a game that's been developed for Windows and basically forcing it to work on Linux not cause issues with Microsoft? Plus, at this point, the Deck is a niche device that doesn't really threaten Microsoft in any meaningful way. If anything, Valve making DirectX a first-class thing on the Deck will encourage continued use of Microsoft's APIs for game development, which makes for easier ports to Xbox compared to PlayStation or Nintendo, which is really where their competition is.

Defenistrator posted:I don't really mind, I just don't want to end having to rebuy my GOG library on steam just to get it working on my deck. Let me know if you have a guide to help out. Hopefully this answers your question. I haven't done it with Linux-native games but I imagine the process is similar. Non-Steam Games as First-Class Citizens I've found that a lot of Windows games run just fine with a newer version of Proton and a little bit of tweaking. To the point where one almost couldn't tell they weren't Deck-native. It requires a bit of setup and I may be forgetting a step but once you've got the fundamentals in place it's easy to repeat the process. It helps to have a mouse and keyboard handy; you'll be in Desktop Mode for a bit.
Again it sounds like a lot but it's not that bad once you've done it about twice. Let me know if you have any hiccups; I've installed about a dozen games this way. Not everything works but most things did. One or two were kinda fiddly and so I decided to just buy the Steam version anyway. Turns out with some effort you can copy your save over, but that's a discussion for a different time (that I somewhat already had).

I got my Deck. Doing the initial boot, setup, and update. I've been stuck on this update for a while. "1 second remaining" for maybe 10 minutes now. Has this happened to any of you? I'm afraid to reboot it since it's updating. I'm not in a position to reinstall the OS right now, if I damage the install.

I'd say leave it a bit longer. While you're waiting you can hunt down a flash drive and follow the recovery guide to burn a recovery image in case you need to wipe clean and start over. Just last night I ran into severe, like PowerPoint level stuttering when the battery got too low, then when I rebooted it displayed the logo and got stuck on a black screen. I used the recovery image to reinstall SteamOS, and then it booted into a command line prompt and froze. Turned it off and on a few more times, still got stuck at command prompt even after a long, long wait. I had to do a hard reboot (hold power button for ~11 seconds) and then everything was perfectly fine. I look forward to further updates but this is the second time I've had to reinstall SteamOS after some reboot thing got hosed up <>

My Deck arrived late, after multiple mysterious FedEx delays. I got it this morning, immediately before I had to leave for a flight. I booted it for the first time in the airport terminal, downloaded the update on airport wifi, and am now seated on the aircraft waiting for the boarding door to close. And for the Deck to finish updating. I brought a portable HDD with games so I'd have something to play in flight, but if I can't get past the update I'm screwed. EDIT: I decided to reboot per this thread. I guess we'll see if I can finish setup on in-flight wifi lmaooooo Chimp_On_Stilts fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Jul 6, 2022 |

Unfortunately it wouldn't surprise me if the weird nature of secured public wifis is causing issues compared to "where most consoles are going to expect you to be when you're doing setup". I'd just shut it down, start it up, pray, and deal with the fallout when you get to where you're going if it doesn't work

haldolium posted:Doesn't change anything, the Deck in its DHCP wifi environment is not detected by Warpinator within static IP LAN. Did you ever have any luck with this? I factory reset my router and set it up in all sorts of configurations to try and see if I could narrow down the issue for you but dynamic or static addresses, DHCP, etc. had no effect. As long as I manually set the proper network adapter in Warpinator and Winpinator preferences, they were able to communicate. I've been using Winpinator on a Windows 10 PC and Warpinator with the Deck's desktop mode grabbed from Discover.

I got mine today and it absolutely hates my 5Ghz WiFi even with developer options and sleep turned on. I had to update it through a laptop dock and ethernet and then enable 2Ghz on my router for it to calm down and behave. Using a turris omnia so I may need to play with the settings more for it to enjoy 5ghz.

The Deck doesn't support Wifi 6 so if your 5GHz is set to 6-only that'd be the problem. It does understand 11ac, so you can enable that on the 5GHz band. A more mundane reason could be that 5GHz has less range than 2.4Ghz. I had a Wifi 6-only network that all my (modern) devices use, but not the Deck ... in '22. Created a 11ac network for it to sit in all by itself.

Chimp_On_Stilts posted:I wish. Just landed. To nobody's surprise, doing Steam Deck initial setup on airplane wifi was a spectacular failure. I do not recommend it. Now to try on hotel wifi! Maybe I can get this thing crackin' before my next flight EDIT: A few details for the curious: The Deck's built in browser for navigating captive portals doesn't show dropdowns. Like, you can tap on the dropdown (in this case, to select a month from a list) but the options are not rendered. I spent the first hour of the flight poking at the wifi signup screen until I figured this out. After that I was able to select my credit card's expiry month by tapping the dropdown then guessing the correct distance below it to choose the month. Once through that, airplane wifi topped out at 200kbps down. I was frankly surprised it downloaded anything at all, I figured traffic from outside browsers might be blocked. The Deck struggled to download the update, first saying it would take two hours. Two hours later it said it would take... two more hours. That's when I gave up. Luckily I brought a book as a backup (the new Cosmos by Anne Druyan, Carl Sagan's wife and a coauthor of the original - it's good!). I also learned that you can hold down the Steam button and use the right track pad to control a cursor. No, that didn't help with the dropdowns. I guess my suggestion to Valve is to allow people to skip first time setup if they want to. I'd have been happy just to drop into desktop mode and try installing a game from my portable HDD, but I was unable to find any way to drop out of the setup utility. Of course, this use case is extremely rare. Probably not worth the engineering time to make onboarding easier for people with total poo poo wifi. Anyway. It's a nice device. Feels good in the hand. I'll bet it's even better when you can do literally anything other than look at the setup wizard lol. I'll wrestle with hotel wifi tonight!

When making a Deck recovery drive, are you forced to devote the drive entirely to being a recovery disk or can you keep the recovery utility alongside data? I have a portable drive I'm happy to drop a recovery utility on, but I can't wipe the other data on the drive. The recovery utility would have to live alongside my other files.

Chimp_On_Stilts posted:I think I read that Retroarch installed via Steam has cloud saves, but Retroarch installed via EmuDeck does not. No, you have it right... for save states only. If you do a console-like save-point as normal, RetroArch will NOT cloud-save it. It's something that is really cumbersome and not really intuitive if you never use save states. --- Is anyone elses back triggers (L/R5 in particular) stiff to get "firing"/pull? I might just be holding the deck wrong but L/R4 (the top back triggers) are fine, but the bottom ones (L/R5) aren't.

Theoretically, how many hours of a game like Slay the Spire are you gonna get out of the Deck? Or maybe someone’s already tested it. On my iPad I can play for hours without thinking about the battery level. On my laptop it would probably be a bit more than two, and it would burn my lap doing so.
