OTG USB C plugs are pretty cheap, just get one of those and plug a USB there (or use a USB hub if you already own one) If you want to spend zero money then SFTP is good enough for basic file transfer, as someone else said earlier

I tried a couple other games on the Deck today/yesterday: Witcher 3: This one didn't run so well. I have trouble tolerating a game like this at <60fps, and I was getting a very unstable 35-50. I think I'd have to turn down the resolution to get it to run better. Warframe: This ran extremely well (Warframe in general seems to be very easy to run despite looking very pretty). Looking/aiming sensitivity was really messed up though; I had to turn them almost all the way down to make things playable. Might be easier to focus on melee while playing with the Deck. It's a bit annoying having to press R1 to use skills (since pressing the shoulder buttons regularly is a bit uncomfortable); I might need to remap some stuff differently.

Maybe the AA is just making it take a giant hit to performance? I've tried FSR at Ultra Performance and FXAA (both performed similarly).

AA is a huge performance hit, I just turn it off entirely if I'm playing handheld.

The screen is such low resolution I barely notice if it's on or off and with such a significant power/performance hit, it's one of my first things to turn off.

Baldur’s Gate 3 really does not like you trying to use the steam friends list and has crashed my deck 2 out of the 3 times I’ve tried.

So I tried Witcher 3 with all AA off (and literally everything else off or turned to low) and still just get ~45-50fps even in a small town.

Ytlaya posted:I did set the launch option (though shouldn't it also be possible to just go into settings and point it to the folder there as well?). When you install games, are you doing so by launching B.net through the "Steam mode" or through Desktop mode? It doesn't seem like the latter carries over the former for some reason, even when you tell it to scan for games where you installed them in Desktop mode. I installed battlenet through desktop mode, then added battlenet (with the redirect string in launch options) to steam as a non steam game. From there it's all in normal deck mode. I only played rogue and necro... Necro was completely intuitive with the basic default controls though. Including summoning skellies and corpseploding. And of course rogue plays like an action game so was perfect with controls too. I was using the battlenet proton ge mode. https://overkill.wtf/how-to-install...e%20to%20Steam. That's the guide I used. And had the no install option thing too until I read further and added the launch options string / created a battlenet folder on my SD card.

Got my deck today, very cool. Can’t wait to try hacking around with it and popping in a bigger ssd at some point. Number one on the agenda is xbox cloud playing, then looking into some emulation stuff. What games are good with those trackpad like things? RTSes?

They're great with RimWorld - I never would've believed such a kb/mouse game could be so comfortable on a handheld console. (If you like sleep though, playing RimWorld in bed is not an effective strategy)

I followed a guide similar to this. The one difference I notice after looking at this guide (that I'll experiment with later) is that I pointed STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS to the directory I created on the SD card, instead of the directory above that. So I had code:code:Fuzz posted:This and are you running it on your m.2 drive or are you trying to run it off your SD? I'm using both DX12 and the SD; I'll try changing the former first.

Gonna post it again since people don't seem to be reading the install notes on it: Cryotools only works if you install the game on your m.2 This is part of why it actually works to improve performance, because of the way it uses the swap file and the data transfer speed as a backup buffer for your (larger) VRAM. The video I linked earlier made by the creator of the tools explains how every single thing works in great detail, and why you need to be installing anything you want to really benefit from Cryo on the m.2.

Heran Bago posted:I tried exactly one round of TF2 and it was okay. Any particular tips for FPS trackpad stuff? Set the right trackpad to mouse (trackball mode, medium friction) so you can flick and tap for quick turns and stops; you then do larger, sweeping aiming by running your thumb over the trackpad when you're pointing in broadly the right direction. You should also enable gyro when touching the trackpad to let you do fine aiming adjustments. Valve recommends setting the in-game mouse sensitivity way down then adjusting the trackpads and gyro to your liking as it gives the hardware more accuracy to work with.

I got the xbox cloud going and the biggest hassle was entering the text in the steam desktop, ended up plugging in a hub and using a keyboard. Is there a remote desktop setup that can be ran when in desktop mode? Steam link seems to poop out when it goes into desktop mode. I assume there is there seem to be a ton of installable apps in the desktop but just if there is a recommended one that'd be great.

AnyDesk is in Discover and there's a flatpack installation for TeamViewer. Either of these is fine.

Anyone have clever ways to hold the deck up while on the couch or in bed? I don't mind holding it as designed but my partner's hands are quite small and it's just a lorge boy. She's much happier setting it on something and playing with a PS4 controller. I thought one of those tablet stand/holder things would work:  But the clamp is just slightly too small for either dimension of the deck. I thought for sure someone would have released a ball-joint clamp that works with the steam deck but I guess not? Any ideas? Fake edit: looks like the deck mate is my solution. Just buy one of their universal pucks and stick it to the holder I already have, somewhere where it doesn't mess with using it with a tablet.

Neat, mine should be getting here tomorrow or Thursday. I went with the green which thankfully looks like a good blue-green in the JerryRigEverything video. Also going from 256GB to 1TB. My SD card isn't too happy with some titles.
