I just picked it up and having no issues besides the game generally runs kinda crappy on medium settings outside of the battles. All the battles generally run 40 fps+, but the Abbey stuff has a lot of jank. Fun game though!

I'm trying rdr2 for the 3rd time and I finally beat chapter 1 for the first time wooo! Game is ok so far. Some of the game seems a little tedious but I'm going to stick with it and see if it starts clicking

It’s like Rockstar wished they had a controller with twice as many buttons on it and decided to compromise in all the weirdest ways. Pro tip: make sure you take a second to organise your guns when you get on your horse to go somewhere because sometimes the game has helpfully put away everything except your pistols so you’ll hop off the horse to go shoot at some fools and surprise there’s no rifle there anymore, that’s back on the horse.

Oh yeah once you get used to it it’s great, everything is very deliberate once you wrap your mind around them. You have a button to go “Hey Mister!  ” at every single person you pass by, 10/10 GOTYEdit: sometimes you go to do a hey mister and forget you haven’t holstered your weapon so you point it at them instead and poo poo goes south, 11/10

Roger that, if you don’t have a data cap maybe uninstalling and reinstalling would do the trick. I’d ensure you have your save file or cloud save working as I think Sons doesn’t by default. The fixes I’ve seen work are the top suggestions here. https://www.protondb.com/app/368260 You’re going to want to run CryoUtilities and set VRAM to 4GB along with updating the launch options to d3d11.

RandolphCarter posted:Has anyone used one of these? Are these type of keyboards any good? We have one that looks almost identical to that one, though it's not wireless. Works fine, if you're gaming using a standard key-binding (like not having to type a lot). I'd say 95% of the time, a given game is good with just those keys shown. Once in a while, some game will have you needing to use the B, M, or P keys for something.

Lord Bob posted:And to elaborate further - the shaders in the game aren't changing - the shaders created by the developers and bundled into the game can't actually be directly run on the hardware. They have to be compiled for your specific graphics card model (and driver version and etc), which can happen at any point in the runtime of the game and will take an amount of time (a few millseconds, a few frames worth) which will cause the game to hitch up waiting for the shader compile to complete before it can finish rendering the next frame. Note that Valve does do this on regular PCs, but instead of distributing pre-compiled shaders for specific video cards, they distribute the graphics pipelines the games use and compile it to native shaders on your PC.

By the way, if anyone hits the same issue I did where CEMU doesn’t work without a network connection, updating to the latest GitHub prerelease fixes it. That was an unfortunate discovery during my flight but thankfully fixing it was easy enough.

Hey so it looks like Micron is getting some of their 2400 Series 2230 2TB drives finally out to the wild to more than a handful of people and places. ShopBLT Has the 2TB drive on BackOrder for $157 which I feel is finally a pretty fair price for a 2TB 2230 upgrade for the Deck. Have one on order so hope to clone the stock one over and finally be able to stop having to play storage shuffle (for a bit at least).

I really liked what I played of this game, but if I can’t play it on the steam deck, I’m just not going to play it. Yeah I don't know how they messed it up, but to get it working you need to increase SWAP file size for some reason. You originally also had to force load with DX11 and use a specific proton build, but I'm not sure if those are still necessary. Increasing the SWAP file size is pretty simple and done automatically through over utility you can install on the deck, and also improves performance on most games for me. It's literally something screwy with the cutscene transitions, which is where it would originally always crash. With the fix, I noticed that the game would run nicely around 40 frames per second, but immediately as a cutscene was ending, the fps dropped to 1 and the deck fan immediately kicks onto super high speed.

Anyone have the SD do double duty as a media player on planes/travel also? Considering replacing my iPad Pro on my next vacation and curious to hear the experience of using it in this way. Battery life, screen size, etc. Are there Plex/Netflix/etc apps or will I need to use a Linux media player to play my own files?

I would probably not use it over a tablet though unless I absolutely couldn't take 2 devices with me.

You can do a local install of Plex or Jellyfin or whatever and that would work offline, they have gamepad support so they should control fine on the deck also. I think its a profoundly bad idea but its something you can do. I'd try it out and track the wattage beforehand, I think you're gonna have dramatically less battery life than an ipad.

I personally use KODI to do all my streaming/offline multimedia watching across platforms. It's all addon based though so some level of tinkering is required first, unless you're just watching video files on your device. Deck's is great if you like to watch and play at the same time running multiple apps and quickswitch between them. Battery life watching video is about 8 hours of continuous playback. But I carry around a power bank so it's like 64 hours total for me. Vic fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Feb 20, 2023 |
