I'm not really a graphics guy, I'll play anything that's fun (except MOBAs, gently caress those), but I am very VERY jealous of how my wife gets 60fps in Baldur's Gate 3 on her laptop, whereas I'm down to 30-ish (some stuttering). Is there a recommended way to push it further? I have Cryoutilities installed and setup, if that helps to know. I love the game, and overall, I am fine with what I've got, but goddamn does it look so much better at 60fps. I take solace in the fact that I will be playing BG3 likely for years and years, so eventually, it'll run at 60fps no matter what system I play it on.

Don’t listen to this poster you can gently caress the battery whenever you want, it’s your battery.

If you have a gaming PC, use moonlight to stream the game.

PowerBeard posted:Had this issue before with how games detect gamepads on Steam Deck. I ended up switching over to Experimental to get it to work. I guess I kind of have it working now but there's two mouse cursors, and the way the game seems to handle controllers at all is that pressing a face button moves the cursor to an option while the cursor continues to slide around, and then you press O (all of the button prompts are PlayStation for some reason) to click I'd be pissed if this is how it worked on the console release

hbag posted:im not talking about fully charging it, im talking about playing games while it's plugged in I played it safe and bought an Anker 65 watt charger. IIRC you are in the UK right? So it's probably 30 quid for a decent charger. I'm not sure if a USB C cable is included with it though so that might be extra.

Suburban Dad posted:Sorry to interrupt you guys taking about linuses (what Buster calls dicks in Arrested Development lol) but has anybody had issues with Diablo 4 on deck this season? I play it a tiny bit on deck and there are times when opening my inventory creates a 5 second freeze. Other random things seem to trigger it also. But then it'll be completely smooth. What protonGE are you using? They tend to put out new ones regularly, and even if their patchnotes don't specific mention a game, it tends to help to keep it updated on newer games. Looks like last protonGE was 4 days ago.

Looks like it was a pretty old version, 7-36. I'll try with a newer one and also install the dumb hi res assets even though they're wasted on deck. I googled and saw that that helps some with freezing. Thanks for the suggestion.

I want a button combo I can hold that will mute the Deck as it comes out of sleep or boots, so that I can stay in bed right now and play Halls of Torment without waking my wife, instead of having to get up and carry the Deck into the bathroom to turn it on. my toes will get cold!

Gophermaster posted:That were specifically addressed by the new CEO and immediately made changes to the shooting schedule to address the underlying pressure and hired an outside firm to resolve the harrassment claims. Obviously it remains to be seen if they fix everything, but they are working on it. That video was canned corporate horseshit and it was sad watching them read the lines that someone else typed up for them. But, I personally can't wait to see the next video of Linus doing some dumb experiment showing off how rich he is in his mansion.

I only saw this whole mess and the GN video a couple weeks ago, but that LMG video was the most cringe whitewash with awful attempts at humor and, most importantly, no recognition of the identified problems - just "we'll be better" without saying how they hosed up to begin with. Some of the people reading from the prompter were wonderfully indignant rather than contrite, like the labs head from whose dept the whole thing started. They really hosed over that startup, even just by hanging onto the single sample for months with no thought for the company, and that no one on their team has recognized this even now shows how bad the culture is. Reflection and recognition of mistakes are the first steps to redemption. They seem to have chosen rejection instead.

I still have no idea who any of those freaks are talking about. I was playing docked with a series x controller the other day and I instinctively tried to fine-tune my aiming with motion controls and, drat it, now I got a new controller with gyro Nefarious 2.0 fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Oct 21, 2023 |

The buttons and sticks are so clacky that if you were playing anything else you'd be getting annoyed sighs until you turned it off anyway lol Also I updated proton and did hi res textures for Diablo 4 and that seemed to improve performance decently.

Factorio with a couple of QoL mods and the right community config winds up working surprisingly well (I like it more than the built in controller config that they implemented for Switch and ported back to PC). Took me a bit of getting used to and definitely still not as fast as M+KB but it is very playable. Some of the mods are definitely cheaty like Far Reach and Even Distribution but that makes up for some of the clumsiness compared to M+KB.

I was actually okay with the lo-fi aesthetic of playing Starfield locally on the Deck, but streaming is so much nicer. Subjunctive suggested this to me earlier, and it made the whole setup even more seamless: Subjunctive posted:If you use the Decky plugin MoonDeck and the supporting MoonDeckBuddy program, it creates a new non-Steam game entry for each distinct title you stream via Sunshine, so you can give them different controller configs. Obviously none of this is a one-click install sort of deal, but if you regularly touch computers it's fine Snackmar fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Oct 21, 2023 |

Goddamn it I’m travelling and my desktop WOL isn’t working again. I wish I knew what state it was in when WOL doesn’t work so I could just disable that state or something. I’m going to have to debug Windows powershit again…

Debugging disabled WOL is the absolute worst. You have Microsoft and the board vendor conspiring to put in as many settings as possible that make WOL unreliable. With some of the Dell Optiplexes at work the only way I've managed to get WOL to work is by booting Linux and letting it set the magic packet bit on the card. If the system boots Windows or loses power, the WOL will be disabled again. And yes, I went into the Windows 7 style UI for network adapters to tick the magic packet tickbox… It's an insane quixotic fight.

I'm specifically looking for things I can do with the deck itself to maybe get a slightly better frame rate, if 60fps is off the table.

BG3 is the first game I just find totally unacceptable on deck no matter which settings I use. I just deleted it and play it on PC cause it looks and plays 10 times better. Imo ask your wife if you can play it on her laptop

Endless Dungeon works really well out of the box! Bit of a hassle to get cloud saves going, you have to enable it on your pc and deck in the game settings under network. I then also had to verify the game files on my pc and then it picked up the save from the deck.

Just checking, but you do have the TDP maxed for BG3, right?

You could try these settings, but there's not really much you can do. By act 3 drops below 20 are common, and the controller interface - at least in my opinion - becomes a struggle due to the amount of skills you have available and need to set up radial menus for.

If the emulator you’re using supports it convert them to .chd instead https://wiki.recalbox.com/en/tutorials/utilities/rom-conversion/chdman
