jokes posted:That's not a normal, or proscribed way to use an apple device. In fact it's, explicitly, a hack. It's a filepath and Valve recognized it's stupid to change that without notice. Especially a particularly popular one used by, probably, a significant plurality of users. We shouldn’t take the Desktop Mode button as, substantially, a commitment to actively make sure that whatever you want to do on the desktop will work. I think it’s a commitment that you will be freely able to try. It’s for power users. YMMV on all that.

All I want is for Dishonored 2 to be playable on the Deck… I assume it’s exclusion is just the Void engine being a terrible monstrosity

Here’s a question: I got Hitman 3 from Epic back when it was exclusive to that storefront, and it’s got all the bells and whistles that I’d have to pay like, $150 to get on Steam. Has anybody played Epic launch’d Hitman 3 on the deck? Does it work or should I be getting a pricey duplicate?

Basic Chunnel posted:It’s not a normal or proscribed way of using the phone, but it is a way of using it that determined users will pursue. Apple will try and actively prevent you from going off-label, Valve will not, but neither signed up to support modified setups. And anything on a Steam deck that doesn’t launch from within the Steam GUI is a modified function. Happy Noodle Boy posted:Steam sale when loquacius posted:might as well just buy it again

Even though I had to buy it twice, at $5 a pop that's still $10 less than base price!

Basic Chunnel posted:As incredible as the Steam Deck’s design is for converting KB+M oriented games to mobile, it can’t match a standard PC’s capacity to make most old and long-abandoned games work. Even newer games from dead studios (eg, the Carmageddon remake) can be caught in the lurch. The hardware can only do so much. I had to tinker a bit (and then a bit more) but I got C:MD working in Proton-6.5-GE-2 with parameters: code:Valve should set up community proton configurations that can do these things automatically for regular-brained people

Epic store has OG Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics for free today, anyone tried those on a deck? They’re mostly mouse controlled so I imagine the run fine, but I’m a bit worried about how small the text is going to be

There are mods for the original two that can change resolution and (I think) scale text, but idk if they work on the deck. Also, you may have to pass through the cursed site of NMA (stands for Now Mostly nAzis) to get them.

You may have to run them on a Windows PC and then move the install folder over to the Deck.

Yeah they’re from epic so they’re the windows copies, should be “easy”* to sort out mods and such, I figured something like that was out there

Squiggle posted:The fact that they didn't just keep a symlink to it is boggling, anyway. How do symlinks work in that automount area? Maybe you can do something with udev or other fanciness. We’ll see in 3.5, but it could still cause problems for things that expect the old name to be on the same file system as the SD card contents or be a directory or other such fragility

King Boo posted:Valve should set up community proton configurations that can do these things automatically for regular-brained people FWIW, the GloriousEggroll Proton builds include protonfixes, which applies those and even more gnarly fixes to games. I doubt Valve wants to touch this kind of thing though, because the maintenance burden is enormous and you have to watch games like a hawk in case some developer decides to update and now the fix you are applying is breaking.

Right, finally home for Christmas, time to sniff the top vent edit: well, I'm liking the smell but it's taking ages to update. I assume it's pulling down the latest one from today Carpet fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Dec 22, 2022 |

Basic Chunnel posted:Not that I relish the idea of having to keep track of SD cards, but if you’re primarily a “Steam Guy”, aka someone who installs and runs things off Steam rather than take advantage of third party launchers or standalone apps, does the platform get confused if you have multiple SDs with different games installed on them?

Commander Keene posted:Steam will properly recognize what is currently playable on your Deck, including stuff you've installed to uSDs. So, to use your example, it won't even see Hitman as installed on your Deck if you have uSD #2 in and Elden Ring will show the "Install" prompt if uSD #1 is in your Deck. Awesome, thanks!

I played through all of River City Girls 2 on deck with the beta patch, and that game rules. As far as I can tell it never dropped below 60fps.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:turn antialiasing off, it makes the orbit lines terrible but fixes all the text Any similar tips for Cyberpunk 2077? The text looks pretty awful and not sure I want to bother playing on the deck vs. my PC. It has a steam deck preset but still it's blurry and hard to read.

Thanks thread for all the info. Just placed an order and hope to turn this into a portable Trails box. I played Sky on my PSP and have wanted to play thru more of them but just can’t be tethered to my PC for hundreds of hours of JRPG. Seems like most (all?) of the Trails games are quite playable with varying degrees of effort.
