Try changing which version of Proton the game is running under. Heroic launcher doesn't do a lot of the automated under the hood stuff that Steam does on the Deck, it's going to require a bit more tinkering. For example, my EGS copy of Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap only runs windowed, in desktop mode, under a specific version of Proton (17.3 IIRC). Google or Reddit might have some ideas on how to make the game run.

Unrelated but unbelievable btw how good the Deck is as a party game machine, that can access all the best console party games of the past and all the great weirdo local multiplayer PC games, and also hot 60fps MK11 and Tekken 7, while also being incredibly portable and easy to plug into a TV and also work with, every controller you could possibly want to use.

Has anyone else also started running into trouble opening parsec via steam? Previously I had no problem running it in steam deck mode (and on the desktop), but now it just immediately exits in both circumstances. If I run it through discover or from the app launcher, it works fine. In addition, other flatpaks such as for moonlight work fine; it's just parsec thats loving up. I've been trying to find log files to help diagnose things, but no dice.

SCheeseman posted:The irony is that Valve has done more to create a level playing field among PC games publishers than literally every other publisher, including EGS. The halving of Epic's cut is just a door deal to get people on their platform, as evidenced by their further discount for UE-based software which is clearly anti-competitive. EGS isn't a response to a monopoly, it's someone trying to create another one. To clarify, I wasn't taking Epic's side or anything; I think it's good to have competition, although EGS is hardly a peer of Steam in terms of everything from functionality to ease-of-use. get me HQ! posted:has anyone hosed w Snowrunner on the Deck? Want to check it out but trying to decide whether to buy on steam or ps5. I have, although it's been awhile; I primarily play it on the Switch, and occasionally on a desktop so I can use a wheel/pedals, but I did try it out on the Dreck and it worked fine. IIRC it played/looked somewhat better than on the Switch (where it admittedly struggles) although I could expect some optimization with time. I would definitely suggest buying that game on Steam, regardless, to have an easier time with mods (which admittedly are on every platform aside from the Switch,) copying/modifying saves, etc. It's absolutely a game that plays very well with a controller, even on PC, and you can always plug in your PS controller to a desktop and use it that way if desired. ExcessBLarg! posted:Except when using a USB-C hub (which I mentioned), since the hub itself reserves power on pass-through for its own operation. You continue to be confused about this topic. The cables (any kind, not just USB) have a current-handling capability that remains constant regardless of what you put at each end. In your example you have a 45 W device and a 15 W hub, which of course equals 60 W, the limit of a standard 3 A cable, but most importantly, neither device is likely to pull the full power amount most of the time, let alone simultaneously. You're fine, this will literally never be a problem for you in the real world. Being "below the Deck's max" isn't going to break anything, don't worry about it. More importantly, you should be concerned about the power source; it could be the OEM 45 W PSU, which of course won't be able to pass through the hub the full 45 W, but even if that was a consideration, note that I've successfully powered the Dreck from an Anker 30 W PSU that has 15 & 20 V output. Ideally, you'd supply your own PSU, say 60 W or greater, and you'd be at the hypothetical you described above (only with an actual PSU and not "cable power," as you put it, which is not a thing.) Even in that case, a standard 3 A cable would suffice since it can handle all the power the PSU can output. If you have a higher-output PSU, then and only then would you need a 5 A cable, but said cable would not make a difference in your hypothetical (with a 60 W limit) and as originally stated in your prior post. Again, the hub could be taking up a theoretical 15 W to power itself, but this would be coming from the PSU at the opposite end, through a 3 A cable, and passing through more or less the maximum 45 W that the Dreck could possibly request. Even with a higher-output PSU and only a 3 A cable, which is the only scenario where the cable becomes a limitation, you're still getting 60 W from the wall and passing 45 W to the Dreck. ExcessBLarg! posted:Or more generally, if you're purchasing a 65 W power adapter why not purchase the cables that would actually let you max it out should the need arise? Yeah, I don't know why this is even a thing. Can anyone explain why there are 65 W outputs (e.g. power adapters and even battery banks) when they're just slightly above the limit of a standard cable? It would seem like a waste to have to buy a 5 A cable if you didn't already have one just to go from 60 to 65 W. Anyways, you're otherwise correct about this, and just buying 5 A cables is fine (other than a potential unnecessary expense.) It would nevertheless be nice to know where you can get away with using standard cables (or at least to have them identified as such so you could, say, give them away if needed.) ExcessBLarg! posted:I'm referring to the PDO derating that happens with most USB-C hubs (at least, the compliant ones). With USB-PD 2.0, power negotiation occurs when devices are connected. Hubs that pass through (instead of re-regulating) bus power are supposed to derate PDOs from the power source to account for their maximum power usage. I think this is the subject you're mentioning (and being confused about.) The derating part is about the hub reserving power for itself, but the actual issue is with poorly-designed hubs outputting voltage below spec. Otherwise, the power limitation is going to be a function of the PSU at the end, as described above. Ultimately the (hypothetical) issue that you're concerned about is with a bad hub, not with standard cables. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And with all that out of the way, here's a couple of on-sale chargers I could suggest for your Drecks. This one is $19 for a 45 W slim design. It offers "Output: 5V ⎓ 2.4A / 9V ⎓ 3A / 15V ⎓ 3A / 20V ⎓ 2.25A (Up to 45W)" (from the manufacturer directly) which is the same as the Dreck's OEM PSU. I have this one, it's totally fine, it's quite compact and it's actually a higher-output version of the 30 W Anker I referenced above. Then there's this one, $15 for 65 W but in an older, bulkier package. It's harder to find the specs for this one (Anker was less verbose with earlier products) but it basically has to be the specs as above but with 3.25 A at 20 V to hit 65 W (which, again, I'm not sure why it exists instead of just offering 60 W.)

CEMU gets a big 2.0 update. It is now open source and has a Linux port. This could be a great addition for the Deck. If you haven't set up BOTW yet, I would wait a couple weeks for the dust to settle on what the best way to run it is wrt gyro, performance, mods etc. The developer has made a really good post about it on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/cemu/comments/wwa22c/cemu_20_announcement_linux_builds_opensource_and/

Atomizer posted:You continue to be confused about this topic. My only point of confusion is that I assumed the Deck would negotiate and take 20 V input, since the OEM supply does both 15V @ 3A and 20V @ 2.25A, however it appears to accept only 15V which makes much of the previous discussion moot.

Speaking of charging, I have a really dumb general question about charging: If I plug in a slow charger and the deck is still draining battery, does it drain slower than if I had it unplugged? I genuinely don't understand how electricity works or the physics behind it so this isn't a sarcastic question or anything, just a really dumb one.

I've run into a couple of weird input issues, and I'm wondering if these are familiar to anyone. The first is that in profiles that use the right trackpad as a mouse and pressing that pad as a click (which kind of sucks, because you inevitably wiggle it around a bit while applying the pressure), the clicks have stopped registering entirely. The other thing is that in some games my right stick freaks out. Like, in Half Life 2 (which you'd expect to have a stone cold perfect profile from Valve), sometimes I can only turn to the right, and can't turn left. I know there are a lot of variables with the steam input system (and even on my other computers I've had it act crazy before), so I'm not expecting any solutions, really, but I'd feel better if I knew that these sorts of things happened to other people, too.

I think I prefer Xbox's analog stick placement, but the PS5's trackpad is so nice for getting around in Desktop mode. I definitely plan on picking up one of those overpriced "DualSense Edge" controllers when they are released.

I've spent the day downloading a bunch of HD texture packs for Nintendo 3DS/Gamecube games. Really excited to dive into these Zelda games I skipped. Now I just need to crack my Nintendo Switch so I can dump all my Switch games onto my Deck. Why bother giving Nintendo more of my money for sub-standard ports when I can dump original versions of games and just get HD textures from the community.

As with any entertainment device if you think you’ll get a lot of use out of it then I say go for it. As an aside is there a way in windows to set it a screen to 40hz? This isn’t specific to the deck but is it dependent on the screen used or can windows do it like steamos can?
