TotK is better on Deck than Switch, but on a Gaming PC is even better. It's kind of random what doesn't work though. Had to play Kirby and the Forgotten Land on Switch, which was perfectly fine. And Smash Ultimate offline is no good. Big benefit of copying your Switch games to something else is it frees up the Switch for family members.

My friend and I set up a family sharing thing with Steam and he thought "Honkers Railway" (which I had added to Steam as a non-Steam game to play on the Deck) sounded like a porn thing lol

Is Pacific Drive good? It looks good. Someone in the Subnautica thread said they got similar vibes from it, and I do love the roguelike "just one more run!" flow with meta progression. I like all those elements, and I like weird driving games, so the elements are there, but does it pull them off well, all together?

The driving side of things is mostly superficial (for good or ill, it's up to your taste) so don't go into it expecting to do any real car maintenance stuff. You mostly just have HP bars on the panels that you refill between runs with magic playdough. It's mostly there for flavor.

I loved Forza 4 for both how nice it looked but also how I had the potential to make any decal I wanted on my car. I should have made the Ecto-1. I wasn't there for the realism.

I think it's quite fun, I hated how cludgey the sub was in Subnautica and the car is a good way to handle having all your things in one mobile place. Very much a game about listening to tunes in the garage while you customize your car, or listening to those same tunes as your car flips upsidedown because you careened down a mountain trying to make it back to the garage in time. It runs alright on the Deck, roughly 30 on low settings and you can probably optimize it further.

Anyone know what the best version of proton to use with Project Zomboid? I am finally trying to test more stuff out to see just how many mods I can get away with running.

If you're the kind of weirdo (like me) who uses Steam Remote Play, be warned that a bug that breaks it and causes the stream to be stuck on the loading screen is in the Steam Deck client update that rolled out to the stable channel yesterday. This bug was in the preview and beta channels too and multiple people flagged it and Valve ignored them. Remote Play still works if you run it from Steam in desktop mode for some reason.

Well, the Wii Remote did work and was very easy to set up. Unfortunately the nunchuck seems to be bugged to absolute gently caress on the Deck, so I'll have to work out the reason for that. I tried Sin & Punishment 2 and it worked flawlessly on Windows, but on Deck the second I tapped a button on the nunchuck the entire control setup went ballistically wrong in any number of different ways each time - the stick registering different directions seemingly at random, forcing certain buttons permanently on, things like that. As long as I didn't press a button on the nunchuck it was fine, even the nunchuck stick worked. Hit a button though and hoo baby. Aiming was fine throughout, unsurprisingly. Very odd, hopefully there's a fix. I can't see any videos of people using the nunchuck on the Deck, just the Wii Remote, so I suspect they ran into the same problem.

Digital Foundry is pretty much the only place I trust to say a game actually runs well/great. “Works great on my machine” posts the gamer on every forum as they observe a game dropping to 17 fps and hitching for seconds at a time

I find myself mostly enjoying games on the Deck where I can lower the TDP to 7 or lower and they still run well. Especially since I have an LCD model, which perhaps is noisier and hotter than average, though who can say. JRPG’s seem to be the sweet spot for that. I should try some of those Tales games. The Deck was my Persona 5 Royal machine last year. This evening I fired up .hack GU Last Recode and lost a few hours all of a sudden.

Beve Stuscemi posted:There is no way this is true but people keep saying it I mean I tried it. It's worse than the Switch in the sense that it's a relative PITA to set up. You need Emudeck to install a thing for gyro to work and then configure it in Yuzu. There's an optimizer now that configures Yuzu for this game specifically. A good start but I wanted to tweak settings further. Also tapping physical amiibo vs a menu could be a deal breaker I guess. OLED Deck at least does marginally better in the sense of stuff like frame rate, or mods if you care. If you want it 1:1 like the Switch then sure it can be just identical to it. When the game launched this wasn't really the case. Game is stable and doesn't chug at shader compilation for solid minutes anymore.

I'm seeing it being just emulator quality with yuzu and people are playing botw wiiU version on cemu with details cranked up even beyond switch levels. It's not a hardware problem just emulation problem so it's just time and effort on the part of people who're working on this in their spare time. I like switch but having and playing all my games on one device with a better controller is a quality in itself. I have my switch for when nephews visit with their tiny grubby hands.

Quantum of Phallus posted:No poo poo you haven’t tried it personally Despite your username, it's generally best to *not* be a dick. Given that other Switch games with as much or more going on on screen run fine on the Deck, and given the Switch itself is extremely underpowered, it's OK to draw inferences about how other Switch games might run.

No it really isn't because that's not how emulation works, it always requires significantly more power than the original hardware has and the Deck is not far enough ahead of the Switch to consistently consistently do it. Link's Awakening performs worse unless you run it at lower resolution than the Switch, Super Mario Odyssey is unplayable once you hit the later worlds and Luigi's Mansion 3 is completely broken. Don't take your emulation performance markers from people on Youtube who play the least demanding part of a game for 20 minutes and declare the performance perfect. If you want another thing to judge, the Deck is orders of magnitude more powerful than the Xbox and PS3, and yet many of those games also won't run well when emulated.

Link's Awakening runs fine for me. Occasionally it has a brief hitch when crossing what in the original game would have been a screen transition, but it does that on my Switch as well. Apparently there's some interesting fuckery going on behind the scenes where the game still detects those transitions. I think they pulled the map data from the original and never removed those tags/triggers.

That was a big pain in the rear end when it got released a few years back across all platforms. It took me a stupid long time to get logged into the Switch version. I think they got rid of that. I installed the current Steam release of the original Doom a few weeks ago and didn’t have to log in or do anything.
