The mercenaries games are pretty good tactics ogre knockoffs. The translation is a bit off, but I’ve played enough JRPGs to vibe with it. Of course, you could also play tactics ogre which is just a really good game.

Rinkles posted: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. Haven't started a run, but the starting menu with scrolling clouds etc estimates 5+ hours at 86% battery with 40 refresh rate, half rate sampling. Could likely set up 30 fps and not notice/care because of the gameplay for even better battery life. Edit: started a run with GPU clock set to 800, says estimate is 5:30+ at 84% so you'll get a lot out of it! minusX fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Jul 7, 2022 |

I get down to about 75% in around 90 minutes, on whatever the Deck’s default settings are. I haven’t messed with any clock speeds or refresh rates since I unboxed the thing.

I've been playing it a bit and it says the estimated battery life is around 5-6 hrs. I reckon it could go longer if you reduced some of the power settings etc.

I bought an Anker Nano 45W and had some 10’ USB C cables laying around and that’s suiting my needs.

I haven't extensively tested but the steam battery estimator puts it at about 4 hours I believe. Edit - whoops just saw the above reply which is more extensive than mine .

Bloodplay it again posted: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. unfortunately not, I have too little time lately. I had this since the very beginning in March and I'm at loss why the deck erases Proton wifi IP settings. The connection and password are saved and available both in SteamUI and Proton, only the configuration gets reset every other day.

I told EmuDeck to install to my SD card. I am trying to find where the emulators are actually installed but haven't been able to. Are they in hidden folders or something? Specifically, I want to drop my aes keys into Citra.

It should be fine, the Deck has proper USB-C and I'm sure Nintendo didn't skimp on their brick. I have not used the official charger for my Deck maybe more than once or twice.

Disappointing Pie posted:Anyone tried a switch charger? I’m always nervous using that charger because i think the switch has some weird power requirements. The Nintendo Switch AC Adapter supports 7.5 watts (5 volts @ 1.5 amps) and 39 watts (15 volts @ 2.6 amps) charging profiles over its USB Type-C connector. So I'm guessing it might complain about it not being fast enough but likely would charge with a message that it was slow so it might not be able to keep up with AAA games at max settings draining the batts. I don't have one on me right now to test sorry.

Yup same here, so they're at least through the first 3.5 hours of 512GB's in the US. Are they sill shipping out of Carol Stream IL? I'm in Chicago so hopefully it'll be quick.

Fast charging degrades the battery more, right?

Rinkles posted:Fast charging degrades the battery more, right? Not necessarily. It's heat that degrades the battery faster. If you can fast charge without getting hot, it's fine. Problem is most fast charging will heat the battery.

Tibbeh posted:Not to double post, but anyone got a recommendation for a good 1 TB SD card? Rinkles posted:Fast charging degrades the battery more, right? Yes but most current fast charging devices are setup to fast charge for the first half then cooldown and slowly fill as it gets more full. This counters a lot of the extra heat that could be happening when you charge, giving you better battery life overall while also allowing for a lot of power fast if you need some in a short amount of time. If you kept filling to 50% and unplugging on a device it would die a lot faster because of that.

Does a power bank have to output at least 45W to be a good fit for the deck? I don't fully understand all the power stuff, but the deck tech specs say it has an input of 45w and I'm seeing an Anker battery pack that is listed as delivering 20w. That's bad, right?

I woke my Steam Deck up yesterday after having it in my bag for the day and it immediately popped up something saying the battery was drained and it was shutting down, even though I knew the battery was fine. Afterwards, I couldn't get it to start back up (maybe I didnt hold the power button long enough?). I ended up hooking up USB-C power and started it up, and the battery was at 99%. Has anyone else seen this? Kinda worried that the Steam Deck could lock me out like this, especially if I don't have a charger with me. Hopefully its a software bug and not a hardware defect.

It jumped up another hour in the US 512 queue but it's still only 4 hours into the queue and there's hundreds of days worth of orders to go.

Rinkles posted:I just wanted an idea of what the battery life was with less demanding stuff There was more focus on benchmarks closer to launch but you can probably chase those videos. I recall with everything down/low in terms of frame rate and brightness you could easily pull 6-8 hours (depending on the game) Gaming Nexus mega benchmark video had them get 6 hours on Dead Cell.

Rinkles posted:I just wanted an idea of what the battery life was with less demanding stuff Like I said: You can turn performance down. Bar huge Java unoptimizations, you'll probably get slightly better than the Phone version. Like 6 hours or so. Phone/console versions like the Switch don't let you set it 30 or lower or turn off certain CPU calculations. There should be a benchmark around the Deck's launch. I'm not sure if StS in general was tested, but stuff like Stardew was better on battery life than more unoptimized/performance hogs like Elden Ring or Cyberpunk.

I can contribute to this: I got nearly 5h exact running slay the spire at “max” settings at full brightness. I know this because I played it on a roughly 5-hour flight and it died right as we landed. It was also connected to AirPods the whole time

Sometimes the battery controller gets in a state where it doesn't actually know what the battery charge is or should be. You can reset this by fully draining the battery until the battery itself cuts off power delivery. Shut down the Steam Deck. Hold Volume+ and press the power button, then go to Setup. Unplug the charger if it's plugged in, and then let the Deck stay on this screen until it powers off by itself. Try to power it on without the charger to ensure it's fully discharged. Then plug the charger in, and boot up the Deck. It'll be at 1-5% battery life; keep it charging until it's full, at which point the battery controller should be recalibrated and you should be good to go.

Especially since you can swap them in the deck with no issues. Not knocking anyone doing it though!

btw anyone find a silicon case or something they like? Some one mentioned the razer grip tape but I'm worried it will leave a residue. My hands don't really get sweaty but holding the thing does get awkward after a few hours. The xbox elite controller has sort of a grippy surface I really like and trying to replicate it.

Alright, that's fair, it's $67 for the samsung one any particular good wraps for the Deck, any fun designs? Or general silicone protectors to go around the deck that aren't bulky? Not sure if anyone has any likes there
