ColdPie posted:Hi, I'm the lead dev on Proton since the project started in 2016. That's awesome! What's the biggest hurdle with the various anti-cheat programs? Looking at https://www.protondb.com/ most online PvP games won't run as they get blocked by anti-cheat software.

Soul Glo posted:What happens if you try to play a game on Deck that doesnt have native controller support or Xinput or whatever, like the old GTA games, have they said if theyre baking in some sort of thing for that or will the Deck just wait for you to connect a kb/m? Steam has built in controller mapper. Check Settings > Controller > General controller settings. You can bind keystrokes and iirc even macros to gamepad buttons. It supports PS, Switch, XBOX, Steam and generic controllers. E: and you can rebind them via overlay too. Also they have support for community templates so you don't even have to map them all yourself. That's been a feature for years Vic fucked around with this message at 14:53 on Dec 7, 2021 |

It's a different machine. The switch gimmick is nice but people who take gaming seriously on the go or trapped in parental duties appreciate the universal gamepad Steam just made real.

Regarding Switch/Deck/Dock/Charger compatibility: - When you're using USB-C, the device, the cable and the brick communicate via simple chips what specs they are. - USB-C PD (power delivery) supports several voltages and amperages. - The device will choose the highest possible charging speed available based on the received info - Any USB cable will charge your deck/switch - Most USB power bricks are for mobile phones and such devices, so they are incapable of charging deck/switch at full speed - Nintendo power brick is specced to charge only the power profile switch uses (18W or 15V/1.2A), so the brick might charge something else at that profile but won't work for most stuff (not your deck). Switch itself will recharge with any USB power source though. - Steam Deck needs 45W power supply to charge while running, up to 60W when it charges at full capability (though I'm reading it's been updated to go full 100W the spec allows for?) - USB PD 2.0 and 3.0 offer the same voltages although 3 offers some QOS. - No USB-C charger or cable will break your device unless they are specifically built to do so/fake specs. tldr: Buy a power adapter that's USB PD 2.0 (or higher) and 45W (or higher) from a single port (some sellers will claim two ports 20W each means 40W etc). Same rules apply for powerbanks. They will charge your laptop, phone or switch no problem at their respective voltages. Vic fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Apr 26, 2022 |

Using Moonlight and just streaming my desktop to my phone or laptop screen is so good and low latency I lost my use case for the Deck. I still kinda want my toy though.

loudog999 posted:What is a recommended power bank to use for the Deck? I have a vacation with the family and in laws coming up and between myself and all the kids that will be there I am going to need one. You need a USB PD 2.0+ with 45W+ output from a single port (in other words, capable of 20V Power Delivery Power Rating). Vic fucked around with this message at 19:23 on May 2, 2022 |

Ursine Catastrophe posted:It's made for the Switch so it outputs something like 40W, the Deck wants 65. When I use mine the Deck says that it's charging but slowly; I don't think the HDMI worked when I tried it but I didn't try too hard and Deck docking is a bit touchy since it's just "computer with an external output" Anything capable of fast-charging Deck via USB C will charge Switch no problem, because it's USB PD2 or 3 compatible. Switch is not special at all, it's also USB-C PD standard. Deck just needs the 20V profile 4 which is 45W-100W to charge wile running. Switch uses the 15V profile.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:The Switch is special in the sense that it refuses to display with generic docks/dongles. You can certainly get a plug that charges both the Switch and the Deck, but you probably won't get one thing (right now, anyways) that you can plug into a TV and swap which console you have showing up. Switch absolutely works with generic docks/dongles, but the dongle (and the power brick) needs to be able to supply the 15V power profile for switch to start outputting HDMI mode (not DisplayPort or Thunderbolt) via USB-C 3. There's no proprietary nintendo stuff in the dock.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:because they literally built and advertised it as "for the switch", yes I did not know that, thanks! I've seen so many switch compatible dongles and portable monitors I assumed Nintendo wouldn't try to lock you out of using standard hardware protocols it's using anyway. How naive of me. It's like needing approval for a walk in a public park.

Deck's control options are amazing holy poo poo. The things you can do with the trackpads, gyro, touchscreen is blowing my mind right now.

Opopanax posted:Oh no my most shameful thread title. ExcessBLarg! posted:The "fake Windows environment" is ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/(some large number)/pfx/drive_c and then the executable is probably buried in there. I'd assume you'd be able to pick from that. I just find that kind of stuff from the command line, but if you're using the file browser you can probably sort by modification date and just go with the latest numbered folder. The full path is home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/(some large number)/pfx/drive_c (.local is a hidden folder, so in the desktop mode file browser go to the upper right corner menu and enable Show Hidden Files) the compatdata folder is for the windows compatibility layer stuff. Each nonsteam-app you add into steam (identified by the "some large number" part) creates it's own fake C: folder like this. Vic fucked around with this message at 16:42 on Aug 5, 2022 |

Installed Origin and Titanfall 2 Installed Battle.net and Overwatch. I'm looking for a way to make games not be able to detect the Deck's controller. There are some control scheme conflicts in some games otherwise. I was googling for a solution but nothing.
