Guess who got his Deck today, only to discover that it has a stuck green pixel right in the middle of the screen?

I’m sick too, so it would have been perfect for wallowing in bed :negative:

That sucks dude. The RMA process is reliable at least.

Until then try the old magic. Flash neighboring pixels and gently massage it.

Blows my mind how this poo poo just works. I haven’t tweaked anything, the game defaulted to “high” settings, 1200 X 700. There was some fuckery getting past the Ubisoft launcher but even that wasn’t too bad. Steam Deck owns so much.

Anything particular you did for the Ubisoft launcher, I was having lots of headaches with it last month.

I lost my sense of smell due to a traumatic head injury years ago.

Do you remember new car smell? And also, how new car smell is actually noxious off-gas from the plastic manufacturing process and probably is incredibly toxic? You're better off

After initial login and password difficulties the game wouldn’t launch. I exited out completely and launched again from steam, it worked. It took a while to load, there was a dark screen for about 20 seconds, but it pulled through and worked fine.

looks a lot smoother than most "AAA" games i tried on this thing (there haven't been many yet.. I think Control was the most demanding one)

but of course every game is optimized differently and all that

Mine was scheduled for 9/27 (Tuesday), changed to today, and now says Pending. I wouldn't really worry about it until you hit the original date.

Ok. I never use fedex so I'll just keep waiting and see if it updates.

Only used to amazon and USPS so I have no idea how reliable FedEx is.

Try tapping the screen, saw someone saying it sometimes helps when no inputs are being recognized. Game might be waiting on a mouse event.

I had to download a preset controller config off the official GitHub and put it in the right folder on the Deck before it would recognize the Deck as a controller.

I spent a little bit of time and got that native PC port of Ocarina of Time working on my Steam Deck. Portable OoT in widescreen and in 60fps! It looks and plays better than the official version Nintendo is offering on Switch. Incredible.

Just watched the video because I have never played OOT and my deck is arriving soon. It's cool that it's possible, but I cringe when I see all the steps required to make it happen.

I've been playing this and it owns bones. 60fps and a modern analog stick camera make it hard to play any other version. So many QoL upgrades. Had a lot of fun with the built-in randomizer

Waltzing Along posted:

Really well imo. Boots on C buttons. Of course it has the N64 game's look. I don't know the state of HD texture packs on it. If nice models are what you want, the Render96 team is working on an equivalent for OoT.

It's not so bad! I made a step-by-step here ITT. It is as simple as downloading the game, putting the ROM next to it, and double clicking the file. The rest is getting it into Steam nicely.

Yes, there's a slider right by it in performance settings that says "use per game profile" - you'll see it when it has a game open and then it'll say "using settings for x"

This is the darkest secret of the Steam Deck. Open platform yeah yeah, you can install all the other stores and whatever pirate games for all they care, but you're always confronted with the overwhelming urge to just (re)buy everything on Steam because the It Just Works experience is so much better

Yeah I've been Steam-first but happy to buy on other storefronts in cases of exclusivity / discounts and I feel like I might end up double dipping on some stuff.

What's my best option for gamepass on a 256GB deck? I saw someone on reddit say that they reserved 64GB of the internal storage for a Windows install and then had a NTFS formatted SD card for the games. I know streaming is a simpler approach but I'd prefer not to up my subscription to ultimate if I can avoid it

I didn't bother partitioning the internal storage, Windows works fine booting off SD so far. Can't speak to longevity yet, you're probably better off formatting it exfat than ntfs though.

I'm booting Win11 off a 256GB SD card to play Destiny 2 natively. One thing worth doing is setting the video RAM to 4GB. The load times on Windows are pretty bad, as is the battery life. I haven't tried GamePass stuff yet though.
