How does the deck work with cross-pollinated games? Like Apex and Mass Effect Legendary both launch through Origins on PC, but the store lists them as Deck Verified. And to take it a step further: what about non-steam third parties? I know people use Heroic for GoG/EGS, but does that work for games that are, for instance, bought and installed through EGS but launch through Origin?

It works just like on any other PC, it launches Origin, Epic, Blizzard whatever if that's what's required, and you tap the play button on your screen. Lutris is the one stop shop for running all the other nonstandard stuff. And it creates the steam shortcuts for you.

So... anyone gotten a second deck to use as a controller for their docked deck? Is it as good as it sounds?

My xbox controller would work better for shooters or whatever, but I basically only play turn-based RPGs and other old-school stuff on the deck anyway.

Nah, the steam controller feels like poo poo comparatively and only has one thumbstick. It also has the touchpads in place of the thumbsticks which is a trip

Persona 5 Royal owns, the changes vs the vanilla version are worth it. Played the whole thing on a steam deck with no issues, rock solid performance. Ishin! does use other Yakuza characters, but only the character models, there aren’t any references to the mainline games. It runs ok on a steam deck, not fantastic or anything, but passable

OK, hear me out: The Steam Deck controller is connected to the system via USB, right? What if you bought a Steam Deck, carefully removed the controller and put it in a custom 3D printed shell with a standard USB cable?

I know there's a lot of Steam Controller die hards out there. I held one back in the day, but never got a chance to use it while playing a game. That was about a decade ago and I remember them having a lot of rubber. How is the rubber on those holding up these days? Rubber loves to break down after a decade.

The Steam Controller's normal hard plastic, the only rubberised bit is on the thumb stick. The one on mine's held up fine but I haven't used it a massive amount. Definitely not Dual Shock 3/4 levels of getting tacky.

My analogue stick is rapidly losing rubber, but I just put a stick cover on it so it's no longer an issue. Everything else on the controller is plastic though so it's all fine, but one of the rear grips only triggers if I really push it in hard and I couldn't see any way to fix it when I opened the controller up, so I'm really hoping I can find a solution to that.

One thing about the Steam Controller is that, while it's missing a stick, the trackpads are a lot bigger which makes it easier to maintain fine control. I never really missed the right stick.CBD Corndog posted:Persona 5 Royal owns, the changes vs the vanilla version are worth it.

I forgot about the massive changes to Royal - P5R bought and installed, now I can rush through the first two palaces and catch up to my old save.

TwoStoryHouseCat posted:The official FAQ says deck can be used as a controller It works as a controller through in-home streaming, where it basically works like a Wii U but with a bit worse latency. I wish there was a "controller only" mode.

It does just launch the game on the computer you're streaming from, so you can hold the deck while looking at that screen instead of the stream.

The latency would still be bad compared to plugging it into a computer to use as a controller directly

Cyrano4747 posted:holy poo poo this thing is offgassing. I now get the smell yo deck joke. If you turn down the TDP (... button > battery icon) it will run cooler and won't blast the fans all the time. So it'll vent a bit less smell. You want TDP on the default max if you're playing like Elden Ring or Cyberpunk.

FYI: My battery life tanked and the fan went wild playing NMS yesterday. When I checked the settings, it was reset to 60 fps instead of 40, some update, I guess the steamOS Update that caused and then solved issues with sd card recognition must have caused the settings to reset. So if you notice sudden increased battery drain or noise with a game, check your game settings.

Everything except the bottom setting (can’t remember what it was) was set to Standard. It defaulted to 60. It didn’t run poorly, but it was by no means a locked 60. I put it on 30 but even 30 wasn’t locked. Very playable but I was hoping for a locked framerate.

Oddball question. I’ve got these little usbc MagSafe connectors I habitually use on a lot of crap. Prevents bad poo poo when a cord gets tripped on. Here’s one on a PS5 controller:  Any idea why these don’t work with the deck? Get zero power through them with the deck, but they work for charging all my other usbc poo poo.

What else are you charging through it? I can’t imagine they’re doing USB Power Delivery through those things so that is probably your issue.

My assumption with that little magnetic dongle is its not capable of putting out anything more than basic USB power, so it'll charge controllers and such no problem but something like the Deck might be a bit outside its intended capabilities.

That tracks. Anyone have recommendations for something similar actually rated for this? Dont mind spending a few bucks and the ones I have now have absolutely saved some small electronics from getting flung across the room, either by me being a clumsy oaf or cats deciding to sprint across the room.
