Did they add some sort of sleep mode download option? I accidentally put it in sleep while DLing a game earlier and instead of turning off it went black with the backlight still on (and still downloading) and pressing the power button brought up a new set of options i hadn't seen before. weirdly none of them was "turn it back on" though.

gottagotowork posted:I feel input lag at 30/60 as well, but it's most pronounced (as in, annoyingly so) for me when on 40/40. Maybe this is because I rarely use 30/60. There's a ton of articles who are just quoting that reddit post lol. This is one dude testing this on Rogue Legacy 2 on his external display 3 months ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/ug9kc2/psa_enabling_the_framerate_limiter_adds/ Some games are just gonna have input lag if you gently caress with it's frame timing via frame limiter, v-sync etc. You're gonna have the same problem on any PC and this happens a lot with console ports for example. Some causes of input lag can be fixed with drivers (AMD in Deck's case) but some are just down to developers. Not to mention people running deck on random TVs via random docks are gonna see various input/output lag depending on what they have.

Would you be better off going with some other distro if you want to put linux on a gaming PC like some kind of sick freak? From a few pages ago but you'll probably want Ubuntu. If your main purpose is to play games I'm not sure why you'd bother though. If you want to tinker -and- play games that would make more sense. I'm not sure any Linux distribution will 'just work' for gaming. Ubuntu is very user-friendly. Also, Cursed to Golf is great on the Deck!

I'm looking at getting a steamdeck. How realistic is the expected delivery quarter 4 2022 that the site is showing? Also is the expensive one worth it? Thinking about the 256gb one just now.

I bought the cheapest one and it's been completely fine with an SSD card added, so I say follow your heart. And your wallet.

I don’t think the 512 is twice the product the 64 gig (128? I forget) model is. But I’m glad I got the 512. If it’s a money thing, definitely get the cheaper one. If the money isn’t as much of an issue, the 512 is nice to have for a couple reasons but definitely not strictly “worth it”

As a less-hardcore (lardcore?) gamer, I can say that the 64GB is definitely worth it. Popped a 256GB SD card in and am in no danger of filling it up.

As a 512 haver with a 1TB SD card I can safely say that the 64 version is by far the best value. Even more so when you start looking at the other options on the market. $399 is a steal.

If you want to play stuff like Final Fantasy 15 / 7 remake, or other big-budget titles like that. Then the 64gb is just not enough. Hell even Spiderman is like 67 gb. But if you like indie games, you could probably squeeze like 30 games into the 64gb model.

Whatever they were doing with the loading meant the SD card took a long time. And it was pretty noticeable because of all the loading between each match. Moving it to the SSD fixed it. Apart from that, I haven't been able to tell if a game was on the SSD or SD.

gottagotowork posted:That may be the case in theory, I guess — but there sure is a noticeable difference between the settings when you're actually using the device. Try it out yourself. Yeah, Rogue Legacy 2's game tick rate is tied to the frame rate. If you limit the framerate, you're limiting the game tick rate. If the game reads your inputs on frame 1 and starts acting on those inputs on frame 4, and you increase the amount of time that a frame takes by reducing the frame rate then it will take a longer amount of time for the game to respond to your inputs. The redditor's numbers reflect that. gottagotowork posted:This is more in line with what I'm thinking. Though it follows that certain games/software limitations/external displays etc. will get in the way and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Input literally is not involved with presentation at all. If you cap the FPS, the Steam Deck reprograms the screen's refresh rate to match the cap, unless the cap is below the minimum refresh rate in which case it sets the refresh rate to a multiple of the cap and only presents new frames from the game when rate modulo cap equals zero.

No because it's the game. If a game intrinsically has 3 frames of input latency, as many games do because that's default Unity settings, then it's going to be more noticable as you crank frame times up. Caring about input latency and cranking your refresh rate as low it can go is mutually exclusive.

You don't want to run Rogue Legacy 2 at anything less than 60 FPS, this was the stupidest possible game for the redditor to run his fake benchmarks and all the gaming "journalists" that quoted him for that juicy Steam Deck SEO committed journalistic malpractice.

I haven't exactly done any scientific testing with 240fps cameras and LEDs, but in the games I've tried it in, the SteamOS frame limiter introduces way, way more lag (especially noticeable when using trackpad mouse) compared to in-game limiters adding very little if any. Unfortunately the in-game options tend to be limited to the usual 30/60/120 etc, so I guess I'll be playing GW2 at 60 despite constantly dropping below that

gottagotowork posted:More simply: should I expect the input latency at capped refresh rates / frame rate combos on this device to get better in the future or not? No, some games are literally made to work at exact framerate. If you mess with that, the game behaves wrong. Do not use the framerate limiter for those games. This is not Deck related, it is tied to the game's code. Use game's options menu to limit frames/enable v-sync. Reduce CPU watts and GPU clock speed for power saving.

I continue to be amazed by this machine. It's surprisingly capable at playing PC games that were never intended to run on a device in this form factor (which, is unlike the Switch where many games specifically ported to that system aren't necessarily a great experience). One of the things I was looking forward to doing when Valve first announced the Deck was revisiting the OG Half-Life. I assumed that the Half-Life series would be flagship titles for the Deck, and while Valve did go back and do a UI update for the HL2 episodes and Portal 1/2, along with official input configurations, they didn't really do that with Half-Life. At first I assumed that HL:Source is the intended version to play as I had been unaware of the whole debacle around that. I mean, it runs, but it doesn't have the UI update the other Source engine games do and no official input config. OK, that's fine. I boot OG Half-Life and the screen is pillarboxed and a bit blurry, but all I have to do is enable the Widescreen option and it runs at 1280x800, so far so good. For the input config I didn't really like the community options but I leaned some tricks from them. I used the WASD+Mouse template and added an inverted Shift (sprint) to the L-stick outer ring and assigned a Ctrl toggle (crouch) to L3. Suddenly it's working with a decent approximation of analog movement and the trackpad mouse works great out of the box. I expected way more fiddling than that. Does Black Mesa existing mean Valve is done with OG Half-Life? I know it's not a direct remake of the original but it's not really clear if that's what folks "should" play now. I haven't checked it out yet but it appears to still have some issues according to ProtonDB. ExcessBLarg! fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Aug 21, 2022 |

So anyone run into issues with Steam Cloud saves not uploading/syncing? I played a bit earlier today and for a few hours now I've been unable to get the deck to upload the save. I've restarted the thing, I've played some more / made a newer save, tried different connections. Other games / updates are coming along just fine it's just one save not wanting to upload (MH Rise). And it's not like it's corrupted because I can still continue playing it on the Deck. never mind, bitching about it fixed it. I kept forcing other games to upload new saves and then went back to the one giving me issues and it went through. Happy Noodle Boy fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Aug 21, 2022 |

Ive had a couple cases where a cloud sync has gotten stuck (probably because I put it to sleep during the sync) and the easiest way I found to get it unstuck is to go into desktop mode and go right back to game mode. Its basically restarting the Steam client without rebooting I figure.
