The amount of people who play the switch a lot and also are totally cool with configuring an emulator on a Linux machine without a physical keyboard is, and I'm just speculating here, maybe over-represented on this 2000-era discussion board.

the amount of people who want a cool powerful handheld that can run new aaa games and have no desire to engage with the linux side of things is also, probably, underrepresented thin this thread.

You're buying a deck to play games? And nothing more?

And it made one-eighth the difference.
Pretty excited to try out a bunch of indie games and maybe search for some hidden gems, probably a lot of cool games that get overlooked on Steam that I'll dig.

For PrimeHack, where is the setting to disable the Steam Mouse cursor?
Once the game (window} pops up you have to "click" to focus, which sends cursor movements to it and hides the cursor itself.

Maybe one of the interface options forces focus automatically but I don't find it a big deal to do that above.

For people that are running Destiny 2 are you able to hit a locked 60 fps or should I be trying to lower the refresh down to 40hz in windows and playing that way?

If anyone cares you get into the BIOS of the deck by holding the volume + button and hitting the power button.

I'm sure someone else who has played it more will chime in with an actual solution. Just posting letting you know that you aren't alone and that probably happens for everyone.

I think I found the solution: I just disabled the touch screen in an action layer for RE4 and I played for like three hours today with no issues.

Do the Epic Game store games work on this bad boy? Playing RE4 is putting me in a KH2 mood.

It hovers closer to 40-50 and dips to the 30s in combat. It's not ideal for raids but basic pinnacle playlist poo poo it's great

Ok thanks. Maybe I’ll see about setting the windows refresh down to 40 and take it from there.

I've started using Xcloud on Deck and it's awesome.

I'm trying many more games now that I can press "play" without downloading. I underestimated how much installation stopped me from exploring "maybe" games.

My original plan was to install Windows on an SD card, but it feels less urgent now. I'm pretty satisfied with the image quality and latency on Deck.

The Heroic Launcher seems to work well enough. Some games you might have to go into the settings and change it from wine to proton or whatever if it doesn't work straight off.

I think the multiplayer is actually a Deck Verified title. You can play the campaign but I think the videos don’t work which is why it’s down as unsupported. You can get around this by running a custom version of Proton and deleting the videos. I know this sounds like mega difficult nerd poo poo but it’s fairly straightforward once you’re in desktop mode.

According to a quote tweet by one of the industrial designers, it was too flat to hold comfortably for long periods of play.

The current Deck is really silky smooth to hold,just wish it weighed a bit less.

What kind of battery life do you get out of Destiny running local? I've been streaming a lot of Destiny 2 from my big PC to the Deck and can get at least 3.5 hours which is quite a bit longer than I'm going to play the game handheld. Since I'm always using the Deck either on the couch or in bed it seems like a huge hassle to install Windows and Destiny on the deck for a weaker experience graphically and performance wise. The game runs at 120fps on my big PC and it performs fantastic on local streaming with that framerate culled to 60.

Is there a way to update the emulators and stuff without going into desktop mode? I regularly switch to desktop mode to check for updates and an emulator will almost always have one and then some system stuff will have some updates too.

Got my deck a couple days ago, having a good time with this thing but it's really laying bare just how janky and inconsistent Steam Cloud is. Been jumping between the deck and my PC to work on my Factorio SE base and half the time it either takes multiple attempts to upload my save to the cloud or, as is the case this morning, just plain doesn't work for extended periods of time. I'm loving being able to do some biter clearing and other busy work this game requires from bed, but the transition between platforms is way less than seamless and it's frustrating the gently caress out of me.

Add Discover as a non-steam game and occasionally open it to update your apps? This definitely seems like something they should improve upon.

Yeah it’s roughly 2 hours. I don’t regularly leave my main PC on and I take my deck out of the house a lot so I was looking for a local option.

It seems like forcing the deck to use 4gb of vram in the bios seemed to help as well? I’m pretty sure it did at least. I need to install CRU and cap the refresh down to 40 though as it’s not an option in windows natively.

I need to try some PS3 and Switch games on my Deck. Guess I better hack my release-day Switch so I can dump my carts and game saves.
