lol that’s amazing and short sighted, what about people who buy physical copies? Even if you own it you still can’t go play with your buddy on games night because you don’t have a digital license attached to your account!

You have to jam both discs into the machine at the same time. You can also do this by taping two micro sd cards together.

I'd been told repeatedly the second Battle.Net account needed the game as well, I could be mistaken and will edit my original post.

Just did the fan surgery and I must have gotten lucky, it was incredibly easy.

The new fan is a huge improvement too, so thanks for pointing me that way! Now what do I do with the old fan?

I know this was a few days ago, but hold on to it, if you have to RMA your device you'll want to swap them back out, as you might not get the same device back. Same for any SSD upgrades.

I haven't played Steam Deck in a while but I had a hankering, a need, for some Yakuza however Yakuza Kiwami was doing a weird glitchy thing where Kiryu would only creep forward and wouldn't animate and the camera stuttered a lot and Yakuza 0 wouldn't recognize any button inputs.

I restarted, updated, restarted, and all my other games appeared to work fine. (I just didn't want to play them.)

Any idea what's up or how to fix it?

Steam version or one of the other installers?
I've not had issues with Yakuza kiwami, but I can try again in a bit. I think it's been about 5 min since I loaded it up, but it worked fine at the time.

Its the server connection. If you suspend it for a few minutes then it generally reconnects fine but otherwise it sends you into the Phantom Zone.

Both of those games work normally for me, installed through steam. Try validating the files or using a different version of proton.

I've got the Steam versions, but yeah I forgot Proton was a thing. Maybe it's updated (or needs downgrading).

I'll check into that stuff and worst case reinstall later tonight.

Oh I know.

I'm halfway through Kiwami 1 and when that didn't work I thought, "I need some cheering up. Maybe I'll just start 0 over."

I guess it's good I didn't do that because after manually targeting Proton 8.0.2, having it download stuff, then untargeting any specific Proton, now they both work. Because I probably shouldn't be playing 0 again right now.

Unless my wife wants to watch.

Where would the Rockstar Launcher (non-Steam copy) install GTA V on the Deck? I'd like to transfer the existing files from my PC, but I am damned if I can work it out. It thinks it's installing to the C drive, but where that is in reality I do not know.

where did that other dog come from

who is he


The fake c drive is in /home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata and then you need to figure out which subfolder it is as from there Steam creates a new one for each game you launch

e: maybe use date modified to figure out where it is if it's freshly installed

On the Deck, it puts it in a Proton profile folder:
code:
$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/271590/pfx/
. From there it should look more familiar to Windows users.

If you don't want to get the official dock, get this Anker hub. I use it for my Macbook and sometimes put the Deck on it too. The HDMI port isn't 4K60 but you also shouldn't be running your Deck at 4K anyway.

Why are the ones with Gamecube/SNES colors $30 more? AFAICT that's literally the only difference.

About the same as Horizon on Deck, I wouldn't say stable 40 without enabling FSR but it'll stick at 30 no problem.

Hi, looking for recommendations that might be a little specific, basically something very accessible, along the lines of Dredge or Dave the Diver. Anything else super creative and interesting like that around? Presume this is for someone who has never really played games - no shooters or anything like that. Thanks!

Spiritfarer would fit the nautical theme. Coffee Talk and The Stanley Parable are a bit different but good examples of chill gameplay. Good introductions to a different style I suppose.

Moonglow Bay was fun, although the steam reviews say it's kind of buggy later on in the game.

It's basically a fish catching game where you take the fish home to do Cooking Mama-style mini games and turn it into dishes that you can then sell. There's also a town of people you can talk to and do tasks for. It's on Xbox Game Pass if you have a subscription and want to try it out.
