Even more importantly, the PS4 was severely hamstrung by the non-SSD it used. So, yeah, it could process poo poo but loading a level took ages. I felt like MH:W was unplayable.

Protocol7 posted:You won't get anywhere near the level of fidelity of the PS5 or Series X, I don't think the Deck really supports raytracing, let alone at playable framerates. IIRC there isn't raytracing support in the linux drivers shipped with the Deck now, but the Windows drivers do let you use the RDNA2 raytracing cores that are present. It's not very fast though, so when Digital Foundry did it they were running 540p and sometimes lower in supported games.

Dramicus posted:In case anyone was curious. I started the decryption of Spider-man on my desktop and Steam deck at the same time, and the deck took roughly twice as long to do it. Dramicus posted:Spider-Man works well at 40 hz. ... Actually, I might recommend 45 hz because the game has a dynamic resolution setting for 45 fps. Also I have Spiderman installed on an A1 SD card. Would this game significantly benefit from a U3 or even the internal NVMe? I figured since it was a PS4 title originally it wouldn't matter so much.

So how big can we go on a monitor with this thing? I'd like to get a sizeable widescreen for work but it'd be great if I could also plug in the deck. I have been running it to my 46" tv and I'll notice some pixel tearing and weird graphical glitches on certain games, like FF7 or Stray. But then Sekiro looks perfect. Is there any reason to assume I wouldn't see similar performance on a 36" ultra wide?

But thats still a bit of a step up from my 1080p tv screen so Im mostly wondering if it'll exacerbate some of the graphical glitches I'm already seeing or if a higher resolution but smaller screen kinda evens out?

ExcessBLarg! posted:How long? Would you say it's not worth preloading if you have to decrypt anyways? It took a little over a half hour for me to download--figuring out what I should do in the future. It took the Steam deck about15 minutes to decrypt. ExcessBLarg! posted:
It occasionally drops below 45 but its pretty infrequent. Also I'm running it off the internal NVME with dynamic resolution set to 60fps (i think it makes it more aggressive, but not 100% sure) and FSR 2.0 on. Anyway judging by the smoothness, absolutely run it at 40-45hz. Its way better than 30. Edit: I've done a little more fiddling and here are my settings for a pretty stable 45fps when swinging around the city or it will be a locked 40 if you want. Texture quality: med (looks like a ps3 game on low) texture filtering: trilinear (don't bump this up, it seems to have a big effect) Shadow quality: low AO : off SSR : off LOD: low Traffic: very low Crowds: very low hair: very low (but this probably only comes into play for cut-scenes, so it's probably safe to put to medium or something) weather: low all camera effects: off motion blur : 10 FOV: -15 (this reduces the amount of things on screen, so it should actually positively impact the FPS) Film grain : 0 (probably doesn't affect performance, but I don't like it) Then under display Vsync: on Upscaling: AMD FSR 2.0 Dynamic Resolution: 60 Then another thing that I've been testing, which I think might help, but I'm not 100 sure yet, is to set the GPU clocks to 1200 or 1300 in the steam quicksettings menu. with this off the GPU clocks go from 750-1050 on average, but if you lock it to something like 1200, it should always make sure the GPU has the most power budget compared to the CPU. This will raise temps a bit though from 75 to 82 or so. But take this part with a grain of salt, I'm not 100% sure its resulting in more stable framerates or not yet.

after sorting out my wifi issues, PS5 remote play's perfect on the deck especially for an RPG like Persona 5 Royal... awesome thing is that the deck pulls 8W doing streaming so battery life is great. chiaki on the deck supports HEVC hardware decoding so setting bandwidth to 30Mbps/1080p60 basically gets image quality that's indistinguishable from playing a game locally - probably better given the better hardware on the PS5 this raises interesting questions about whether i want to get games like Soul Hacker 2 on the PS5 and remote play it or buy it on steam and play it locally on the deck. any modern game seems to use a minimum of 15W to run reasonably well i should mention that i use my deck pretty much only at home (barring a vacation i took last month) shrike82 fucked around with this message at 11:21 on Aug 13, 2022 |

I don't remember a single thing about it other than the neat intro where the party meets for the first time in chaos on a train and then you pick which backstory to play. I fired it up for a second to confirm if launched and it looks great. Deck remains supreme.

Wild Arms is just like Breath of Fire, in that I played one later title on the PS2 and loved the hell out of it only to later discover its universally regarded as the 'bad one' by fans.

Breath of Fire V! It sure had some weird systems, but it was leagues better than the formulaic ones that preceded it. IIRC it had some sort of 'true ending' that was a PITA to get... Maybe I'll emulate that next!

Kwolok posted:Steam did use its monopoly to sell at a loss, sure. I am not really an idealogue. Generally I hate monopolies because they tend to just gently caress everything over. Valve doesn't seem that way so I don't really care cause the net result is good. If valve starts doing dickish things with its monopoly then I'd say its bad. But really I only care about bad things when they are bad and not when they are ideologically dangerous and maybe could be bad. You can run EGS and GOG on steam deck. So the ecosystems not technically a monopoly.

There's a plugin for heroic launcher that generates executable scripts that can be added as non-steam games. It can also automatically generate shortcuts with the proper art (like Emudeck), but I've never been able to get that part to work.

Yea add epic launcher installer into steam via Add a non-steam game, and in properties, set compatibility mode to Proton 7. Install it. 2. Open properties again and change the link to point to where epic launcher exe is. It's by default in home/deck/.local/share/steam/steamapps/compatdata/3382438243/pfx/drive_c/program files... etc You can then switch to game mode and open epic launcher from your library and install/play games through epic launcher.

Is there a way to have multiple user accounts on the Deck so that they can have separate save files and such, without different Steam accounts? I haven’t been able to construct the right Google query to find out about anything but multiple Steam accounts. E: also, is there a way to keep it logged in on a PC and the Deck at the same time? Also also, how do I tell the Steam app that it can install Windows games on the Deck remotely? It sees it as a Linux target and doesn’t let me install anything that doesn’t have a Linux version.

This thing really does invite tinkering and I love how open it is. I wanted to use it on a wifi network that blocks access to Steam and after a bunch of googling and terminal work I was able to get it to automatically connect to a VPN on that wifi network only. Game mode even replaces the wifi icon with a globe when you're connected to a VPN! I also managed to download and compile SRB2 Kart, a Linux fan game that will never have a Steam release, and it works flawlessly. I'm blown away by the possibilities. Other than messing around with the terminal the only game I've put any time into so far is Webbed which is super good and super cute but I've only had it for a few days.
