Yeah that reason was it was a dead console nobody wanted so Sony killed it and left the corpse to the homebrew scene to pick over.

If they’d released games on it then it might have stood a chance as an actual console instead of a P4G and PS4 remote play device for its entire active lifespan.

I'm curious, I have a 64 GB deck, and I've got a 1tb micro SD.

All my games have been installed in the SD card, and I saw a low disk warning. I assume it's shaders related, but would that cause graphics related crashes?

Lost Planet 3 and another game I just installed are both crashing on me, with one of them claiming a direct 3d issue.

CryoUtilities will clean up shader caches and compatdata for games you no longer have installed. It can also move those folders onto the SD card only for games that are already on the SD card, keeping all of that together.

Its recommended settings for performance are just good in general and you can get them with a couple of clicks, highly recommended if you install it.

As someone mentioned, it's easy to swap in a 512GB or 1TB ssd if you want to, though SD prices are def cheaper and performance is very good.

If you're planning to stick with SD, I'd run Cryoutils periodically to clean up on the internal drive without losing any data.

The good news is that both the shader cache and compatdata will be recreated by Steam if lost, all you lose is some time, nothing else. The compatdata folders contain the Windows install ("prefix" in Wine/Proton lingo) that each of your games uses. So if a game need VC++ libraries, Steam will install those libraries to the compatdata folder for that game. It's a Windows disk, basically, sitting in that folder. If the folder is missing, Steam will create it and install any dependencies the game needs the next time you launch the game.

There are a few games that still aren't available elsewhere, and the Deck can't emulate the Vita for poo poo.

Offhand, I know the definitive versions of the Trails in the Sky games are Vita only. The PC version is a port of like the PS2 version or something. The Vita versions have better graphics and a proper orchestra score.


E: I'm using THIS guide to install mods for Skyrim, and it says its common for the SteamTinkerLauncher to appear to freeze when installing Vortex. It says to just wait a few minutes, but its been like 30 min and its still just sitting there.

Anyone have experience with this?

Pre-release talk of Starfield on Steam Deck is that it doesn't launch at all. It did launch on the Ally but also crashed constantly.

Not sure. I'll pull out my Vita in a minute and check. I assume it did though, because it seemed to be designed as the definitive versions of those games.

I didn't check for global. I haven't played any other version, what does global turbo mean? Like all movement is sped up?

Lemme get it back out.

E: turbo in battle, not outside of battle. Can hold X outside of battle to fast forward dialog.

There is 100% a reason to mod any vita. You want to be able to use regular rear end SD cards with SD2vita instead of the super expensive and tiny proprietary sony cards. Also you can put on adrenaline for nearly perfect PSP emulation as a nice bonus.

Yes you should, but if you're saying this in response to people talking about Cryoutilities, just fyi that's something separate and not a part of Decky.

Success, finally got Trails of Cold Steel, GOG version on the deck and the cloud saves transferred over fine using Heroic.

It was a struggle with Heroic Games Launcher though, the download stuck at 99.7%. Some bad info on their issue tracker about "Processing files, please wait" meaning "wait a few hours and it'll be fine." No actually, what I had to do was pause and resume the download, rather than wait four hours :rolleyes:

Last thing I need is installing lavfilters and whatnot to get the intro video working.

Methinks I should buy Steam copies instead from now on... sorry my DRM-free principles if you ever existed to begin with.

Booth into BIOS (hold VOL+ while turning it on) and go to like system config.

Enable "battery storage mode".

The Deck will shut off, and won't turn back on until you plug in the charger.

This is what you do if you're not going to use it for a while.
