Some big titles in there. Do all these games really not work, or have some of them simply not gone through testing?

Outriders, Just Cause 2 and the Darksiders games were the standouts to me. That and Watch Dogs 2, but is that a Ubisoft Connect issue?

since ubisoft connect running in the background is required for many ubisoft games, does that mean the ubi connect launcher itself will work? or do their games do some alternative check instead when running in SteamOS? I'm asking because the former would presumably mean you could run your non-steam ubisoft connect games.

SCheeseman posted:It works fine as long as you install the unofficial patch, which you need to do on Windows anyway. This is one of those cases where the game itself is kinda broken out of the box, it's weird they're still selling it in the state it's in. The publisher really needs to make the unofficial patch official somehow. one of my favorite recent patch notes  (fallout 3)

Is Steam link any different from what Steam uses when you stream a game to another PC? When I used that, the latency was pretty good over wifi, but the image quality would intermittently deteriorate, occasionally getting really bad. It was fine 80-90% of the time, but that's not good enough.

Wasn't Steam Big Picture and the Controller interface supposed to get an overhaul with the release of the Deck? Was that postponed, or just a rumor? (Or is that stuff there, but exclusive to the Deck?)

MarcusSA posted:I was kinda surprised to see Oblivion as verified. I’m installing it now to see how it works because I sure couldn’t get the windows version to work on my aya neo controls wise at least. Probably not a game you want to play without the script extender, though. And Oblivion either has very basic or non-existent gamepad support. Of course, there's a mod that fixes that.

Idk know if you'll easily find something much more powerful in the price range. The chip shortage affected laptops as well. It's probably better now, but last year I saw very few good deals on budget gaming laptops.

Lockback posted:I believe there are still audio jankiness and other annoyances. But the biggest issue is: using Windows with a controller kinda sucks. Keep in mind, this isn't "steam presents windows: Deck edition" it's just Windows thinking your on a PC. You can hook it up to a keyboard, mouse, bigger monitor but now your defeating the portability. Isn’t windows okay enough with a touchscreen?

Lockback posted:MS released step by step instructions including Linux commands to get gamepass streaming working on the Deck, so I don't think they care much about what OS you're on. Also the Steam Deck is like 4 months old so Why wouldn’t game pass streaming just work out of the box with a browser?

njsykora posted:It’s possible, but unlikely it’d be done by Apple themselves. The closest we have right now is Crossover, which is a subscription program (about $40 a year) which works pretty well in making windows games work on MacOS. Andrew Tsai did a good video on how to get the best prices on that if you do go down that route. Do you think it’s something Valve would be interested in pursuing?

Theoretically, how many hours of a game like Slay the Spire are you gonna get out of the Deck? Or maybe someone’s already tested it. On my iPad I can play for hours without thinking about the battery level. On my laptop it would probably be a bit more than two, and it would burn my lap doing so.

Bloodplay it again posted:Almost every game up to this point in time has been created to run on a 5400 rpm HDD. I think it is safe to say any even remotely moderately new microsd card (at least the ones in the storage sizes you'd want to buy) have read and write speeds that trounce mechanical drives. Is this actually true? I did some tests with an external HDD and a microSDXC memory card a couple of months ago, moving large files back and forth to a pc, and the hard drive was considerably faster. I don't remember the exact figures, but it was a big difference.

No, it was spinning rust. One amendment though, cause I forgot something (e:as I see you pointed out). The hard drive was still faster, but the SD card got close to catching up when I used a USB SD adapter instead of the laptop's SD port. Pretty sure it didn't come close to saturating the USB 2.0 bandwidth, because it would've beaten the HDD otherwise. e2:I just checked, and the adapter was USB 3.0, regardless. I did the test with an Outriders install (44GB). Rinkles fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Jul 12, 2022 |

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:I know I should've been expecting this given I've emulated the PS2 on some ancient CPUs, but I'm still impressed by how well PCSX2 runs on the steam deck. I'm playing Dark Cloud 2, and it looks great, and the deck sips power while emulating it. I played around with PCSX2 a couple years ago on my old PC (970 with a i5 6400), and yeah there were a lot games that ran brilliantly. I think most PS2 games just didn’t push the console too much. But when I got to the Ratchets and Gran Turismos, I couldn’t get 60fps even at 1080p. The Ratchet sequels were especially bad. There’d be occasional slideshows and a lot of visual bugs. I’ve heard there’s been a lot of progress in PSCX2 lately, so especially when paired with a modern CPU maybe now the Ratchets are playable.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:I ran PCSX2 on a GTX 680 with a Phenom II X4 with varying levels of success, so yeah. I'm just really impressed seeing the "GPU: 0.8W, CPU: 0.7W" in the top left corner when playing Dark Cloud 2. How far we've come... I wish I could get my desktop to idle that low. With mandatory DDR5? 😬 (yeah pricing will eventually be sane)

Do people get cramps playing FPSes on this thing? I always get hand/thumb/wrist pain when playing games with a 3D camera on a handheld. The Deck seems better suited for those type of games, but it’s also heavier.

Slanderer posted:I've been playing Fallout NV on the deck for a week or two with no issues besides regular crashes (which may be the norm for unmodded F:NV lol). I’ve put hundreds of hours into heavily modded NV over the past few years (one play through was the FO3 port), and had maybe four crashes total. With the work the modding community has put into the game, it’s remarkably stable now.
