sigher posted:It Takes Two, We Need to Go Deeper, the "We Were Here" series come to mind. Lovers In a Dangerous Spacetime is good but I don't remember if it has online. Cool, we played a bit of Lovers doing couch co-op a while back and it was a sweet little game, we should pick it back up. I remember hearing that It Takes Two was pretty challenging which might rule it out for us. It looks like Divinity Original Sin 2 works well on deck and has good co-op so I might check it in the next Steam sale. Thanks for the recommendations!

I think it depends on whether you want to play contemporary AAA 100gig monster install games or not. I prefer playing old / lowfi / indie stuff on my deck so any version is gonna be fine for that.

You're not sacrificing anything except install times. The load times are very comparable to SSD and game size has nothing to do with it.

Moonlight also gives around 5 hours battery, so I like to pick that at night or when I know I'll have longer than 90mins - 2 hours

My desktop has an ultrawide display so streaming is a little bit of a pain because I need to change the resolution on each game when I switch back and forth. I know it can downsample higher resolutions but adding bars on the deck for the aspect ratio change is losing a decent bit of screen space. I wish there was a simpler way, but I can't imagine one.

There’s some program that automatically adjusts resolution for a given game and then back after, but I can’t find it in a quick scroll of this thread. Someone will be along with that information shortly, I’m confident.

Having a weird issue with my Deck and using a Bluetooth controller. I started playing docked a bit, which rules! However, every so often it will lose synch with the controller or something (Switch Pro Controller) and then the game will be completely uncontrollable using anything except the touch screen until I close it and reboot the Deck; closing and relaunching the game doesn't work. Has anyone encountered this before and figured out a more convenient fix? It's fine in a game that's always autosaving but *pretty bad* outside of that.

Sounds like bluetooth interference, are you particularoy far away from it? The fix for the game not being controllable with the Deck controls though I'm assuming is to go into the QAM and renumber the controllers.

Samog posted:What's the dos2 control scheme actually like? I've seen a bunch of people say it's great on the deck but it seems like a weird fit to me Remember the game is available on consoles too, so it’s not like this is some wacky Frankenstein control scheme kludged together by the community to replace kb+m just for the deck. Since combat in DOS2 is turn based it translates fine. You just select the skill from the action bar by selecting it instead of hitting your number row or clicking a box instead. Moving around the world you can just use the analogue stick and run around like any third person character game instead of having to click around and move to, it’s a lot nicer in that respect too.

But it really is just the deck losing track of the battery usage. Letting the battery run out in amin mode fixed it.

Party Boat posted:Any recommendations for chill online co-op games that work well on the Deck? Mrs Boat and I have played a lot of Astroneer together and we're looking for something to scratch that same itch. We have two PCs in the house but my dream is to be chilling on the day bed in their study playing on deck while they game on their PC Core Keeper. I have a server going with 5 friends and some of them just spend the entire time farming, fishing, or working on the base, while some of us go out fighting bosses and things. It's great.

Are there any games/genres where the Steam Deck's screen size feels too restricting? I'm thinking about CRPGs with lots of text and small icons, or a game like Prey where you're looking for subtle environmental details in dark areas. I know there's a magnifier feature, but I'm curious if people who have been using the Deck for a while find themselves steering away from certain games specifically because of the screen size.

Yeah, Rimworld was too small for me and I couldn't get used to the controls. I don't really like first person games on the deck since the little screen doesn't feel very immersive and that's a big part of fp games to me. I did actually try Prey specifically and didn't like it. Big spectacle AAA games feel a bit underwhelming on the deck and I'd prefer to play those on the TV or desktop. I've been playing lots of jrpg stuff on my deck (FF5 and 6 pixel remaster, FF12, Trials of Mana, FFT emulated) which seems about perfect since they have big UIs and work well with half paying attention to the TV during grinding. Old games like Kingdoms of Amalur have some of their roughness smoothed away by the small screen and work great. Roguelikes with gamepad controls (Tangledeep, Golden Krone Hotel, Jupiter Hell, Wildermyth, etc) all work well. I haven't tried a crunchier crpg but as long as it had gamepad or gamepad friendly controls, I think they'd work fine. I know some people play everything on the deck but that's been my usage.
