Soul Glo posted:Just about everyone buying this thing already has a deep Steam library, so I would assume the increased software sales won't make a huge contribution to their coffers.  I'd like this to be good, it's cool, and it will keep me off another Switch until I see the reports. That said I'm not super super sad to have a Q2 '22 date instead of Q4 '23, because that's enough time for some real feedback from the wild. If it pans out, looks like I will in fact end up owning Dead Cells on three systems. Oops. Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Jul 19, 2021 |

grieving for Gandalf posted:VR is a gimmick that will never succeed until it comes in the box of a new console I think it's funny that people still have this idea in mid 2021. It's niche and increasingly not niche only because of Facebook so I find that disturbing for the future of the ecosystem as someone who enjoys PC vr. That said: https://www.roadtovr.com/monthly-connected-headsets-steam-3-million-march-2021/   Note that Valve's numbers only indicate ~30% Oculus; this is not counting anyone with a Quest/Quest2 who has never used it on Steam, which is probably the majority of the Oculus userbase at this point. It also doesn't include, obviously, the ~5m PSVR units. https://www.roadtovr.com/quest-2-unit-sales-estimate-psvr-unit-sales/ Oculus sold 2-3 million Quest units in Q4 of 2020 alone (https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/w...0VR%20headsets.) Adding all this up we're looking at more than 10 million more or less modern HMDs out there, with numbers that are mostly linearly increasing and therefore a majority of these purchases have happened in a relatively short timeframe. For reference, 85.7 million switch units were sold in all regions by the end of Q1 2021. So, the adoption of the most popular HMD is only around 7% the adoption of all Switches, but the total number of HMDs out there is less than an order of magnitude off from the switch. VR is here to stay based on these numbers alone, at least for some significant period of time, and to those of us using it on a regular basis the only confusing thing about this is that it's a shock to a lot of people. Come on down to the VR thread, the amount of stuff that already exists or is in development might surprise you  I don't know how much I buy this, either. We have 4 people living in this house and I have to confine almost all my insane bullshit to one bedroom. Granted I set it up with VR in mind, but this space is only marginally larger than what Google tells me the average American bedroom size is, and I also have my full work setup and desk as well as a rack of music gear in here, not hard to find a 5x7 plus space.   yes I like RGBs more than a boomer shouldedit: once I have a steam deck I will absolutely be tethering my G2 to it if this is achievable without a dock; I expect it will be totally fine for any Quest2 compatible title, with some significant ratcheting down of detail level. Also might need to go to a powered USB hub, depending on how the USB-C port works in terms of being able to deliver 100% of spec.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:taking 5 years to find three million people with a wholeass Gaming Room and a thousand bucks to blow doesn't really indicate that VR's about to take the recession-wracked world by storm, imo; but I guess if technophiles were willing to confidently declare that it'd be taking over the world any day now and anyone saying otherwise was a dumb luddite back when VR meant two eight-pound CRTs strapped to your face why should the barriers to entry matter now this is a bad take. I don't have a gaming room, I have an office which I arranged to have 3 desks, 3 complete computer workstations with a total of six monitors and a synthesizer setup and yet still managed to pretty trivially find room for a 5x7 space in. Also your $1000 is off by more than a factor of 3* and despite my dislike of Facebook they are definitely helping push both things. If you're happy with a Quest 2, then the barrier to entry is literally identical to buying a switch: spend $300, sign up for an account, pay for games, play games. I had plenty of fun with my Rift S in a much smaller space before I had this room set up "properly", you don't actually need much space for beat saber and similar. the oculus CV1 weighed 1 pound; the quest 2 weighs about the same despite being wireless, and the g2 weighs similar. The basic weight and form factor of these things has not actually changed in the way you are implying; they never weighed that much and weights also have not come down that much. Also, where did anyone say this was "taking the world by storm"? Someone called it a gimmick and I said it was a niche product but one that has seen a massive uptick in adoption during the pandemic recession, and even if it is niche there are ~15% the number of modern HMDs out there as there are Nintendo Switches. That's not nearly the same as "outsold the Switch!" but it also appears to be a significant trend. The numbers are what they are; if you don't care about VR, or think you might but just not enough to move where your desk is, then.... don't spend money. Assuming it's possible I think it will be fun to gently caress with VR on the steamdeck. Prolly do Zen VR poo poo in the woods and stuff and feel ridiculous. * my own setup is clearly a lot more expensive than that, but, the delta between "people who play VR" and "people who feel a need to play DiRT RALLY in VR with force feedback and pedals and also a HOTAS because why not" is a pretty big gulf. People like me are a niche minority and I expect that to stay true until the tech massively improves Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Jul 19, 2021 |

Stux posted:vyery funny the guy in na im guessing not understanding how the space requirements are very large for most places lol I don't think it's unfair to say this is still a predominately NA based forum, and I very explicitly provided numbers based on the size of an american bedroom. However, I have friends who have been doing VR in their tiny rear end apartment rooms that also contain all their other poo poo for a couple years, sometimes they bitch about hitting walls but they love it and one of them is much, much, much better at beat saber than I will ever be. Based on the way I had my first VR setup done: with a normal PC space I can play seated games just fine. With a 4x4 space I can play most stuff like Beat Saber fine. Yeah, with a space that small, stuff like Alyx is a chore, granted, but rhythm games and art apps and basically everything else I played was fine. I redid the space when it was convenient, and with Alyx in mind specifically, it's the only game I have where it's mattered much. Also UK bedrooms appear to be ~90% the size of US on average. If you don't have a dedicated office / gaming space and you are cramming your gaming into some other space, yeah, VR is going to be shittier but I don't think that issue is specific to the US (or to VR, VR just imposes additional hurdles). Likewise, if you can dedicate a room to "computer things", then finding a ~5x5 space to do reasonable VR seems quite doable even if you're someplace that overall has smaller real estate than the US. The strongest statement I've made is that VR has moved from "gimmick" to "niche market that's growing fast", and also that a normal US bedroom, if it is set up as an office with VR in mind, can trivially provide a 5x7 space. I don't see what's controversial there, I've cited all my sources, and I think that something which has ~8% the market share of the Switch, a massively popular thing, cannot be dismissed as "gimmick".

Kirios posted:This is a dumb humble brag post that actually does the exact opposite of what your intentions were. I'm neither trying to be humble, nor brag. This is a forum where gaming setups that cost thousands of dollars are routinely discussed, and it's very clear to me that I am neither on the high or low end, income wise, of posters here. Also we're talking about preordering a subjectively needless thing that costs $4-600 without even knowing its final specs, I think I am comfortable exposing my very middle class existence. I am basically a boomer, my first VR experience was a CV1 in a 9x9 room that had 40 sq ft of gear in it. If you think a standalone device that costs $300, requires not that much dedicated space for it (especially compared to a PC / console), and has sold ~4+ million units and counting is "a gimmick", okay, cool, agree to disagree and I will circle back in a year when we see how these numbers continue to tick up?

Senator Drinksalot posted:Lmao if you think the deck will power a headset at anything nearing a playable framerate. Have fun puking! The Quest2's xr2 is equivalent to a ryzen 3500u, but the gpu is clocked at half speed and is most equivilent to graphics cards from a decade ago on pure numbers. Assuming docking etc is possible and connecting a headset is possible, the specs for the Steamdeck are much stronger and this would imply that the sort of basic VR games I am talking about would work fine. Eleven, for instance, requires a GTX970 and Intel i5-4590. We don't know the full specs on the Steamdeck yet, but the RDNA GPU is rumored to be "AMD 6000 series equivalent", which means the specs of this thing should easily outpace the minimum reqs for stuff like Eleven and Beat Saber. This hardware is significantly more powerful than the Quest2, so, if it's technologically possible to tether to it and run VR, I would expect it to deliver a better experience in some number of games. I'll let you know in Q1, I guess, if Mozi or someone doesn't beat me to the punch (I KNOW you have a Vive, dude, hook it up, I will buy you Eleven!!)

We don't have real numbers. if a docked steamdeck can be connected to a VR HMD and if SteamVR is supported without any insane 3rd party stuff, then I'd  on performance in stuff like Beat Saber and Pistol Whip being better than quest 2 native. That's a bunch of ifs.The thing that doesn't have any ifs attached to it is "VR is no longer gimmick, it is at worst niche, and the fact that people in the US may adopt it more frequently because we have bigger residences than other places doesn't make it a gimmick, it just makes it a more popular product with the middle class in NA than in other markets where only more affluent people have access to a 2.5 x 2.5 meter space which is apparently a challenge for some people".

even if AAA titles made post the release of the thing never work at all, the number of well reviewed, proton compatible games which I already own but have never even installed is legion, because of humble bundles and the like. A selling point of the steam deck for me is "maybe I can play some of this poo poo I already own but will never ever bother to install and play on a PC because if I am in front of my PC gaming I am wearing a HMD 90% of the time". One thing I'm less nuts about : if this had been an Index style, $600-down thing, I don't know if I would have done it, but if I had I'd be in "fire and forget" mode. As is, I had to set up some email filters and alerts and stuff to make sure I don't miss my window whenever the gently caress they offer it to me. Still, this was a much better experience than landing the 3070 and 3080 I landed last fall, and also a better experience by far than my various efforts to fail to order an RTX card or reserve an Xbox. JazzFlight posted:I'm not convinced about the "bring in your whole Steam library and just go at it," but if I get that too, it's a nice bonus. this is where I am. If it runs retroarch perfectly and then some ~40-50% subset of the random Proton games I already have extremely well, then it's an awesome retroarch box that happens to do a bunch of other poo poo.

I don't care, I played hundreds or more hours of arena during COVID, but it's the most expensive computer game I play by a lot.

Yea, I am not using their hardware, and I no longer own their hardware  As for the rest of this, seems a little silly to be arguing about perf issues on something that's vaporware and has already been delayed once to Chip Shortage. My gut take is that people who want the deck to mostly play AAA titles are gonna be not thrilled, and people like me that want a RetroArch box that also plays a substantial portion of my existing ~1000 title steam library will probably be mostly happy unless Valve completely screws the pooch.

One of my friends has his deck. Honestly, it's heavier than I was hoping, and the length of time I've had to wait has caused me to just get this setup working for $30 (given that I already had the phone) My primary use case isn't being on the go (where do I go?!!?!!?), but, rather, playing my steam library from the couch late at night without having to use a PC, or turn on the projector etc. So, 95% of the time I want to use this, I will be on the same 5g network as my primary gaming PC anyway. Playing Horizon Zero Dawn through this, the lag is not noticable and I have to believe it looks better than it would on the deck given that the rendering is happening on a 5900x + 3090 machine. This does all that, and, yeah, it's not a full loving computer I can do a bunch of other poo poo with but the big pro to that is it's not another loving full PC I have to configure etc, and if I am just going to use the deck in pure deck OS mode.... I think I like my smartphone setup better? Hell, I can play on a 10" screen if I want, just need a $200 android phablet. We'll see how I react when I actually get the email, of course.

It was slightly terrifying to be ripping an impossible-to-replace-quickly $1500 thing apart but really this stuff is pretty easy if you: * have the right tools * watch videos in advance * have decent fine motor skills. Good eyesight is a plus, too. I lack that but I have a jeweler's visor with lenses that range from 1.5x - 4x, so I just use that. When I used to do some of this poo poo in the late 90s - mid 00s, video tutorials of your exact problem didn't exist and you were lucky if you had a service manual plus a Usenet post from someone who once solved a similar problem on a similar but meaningfully different model, ha. You can build these skills pretty easily and even make a little scratch if you want, just buy up old laptops that have something wrong with them for dirt cheap and then fix and sell. Which reminds me that my mom's old laptop is sitting downstairs in need of being ripped apart and probably having a new HDD put in, minimally.

Weird problem with dead cells: Was playing last night in desktop mode, put it to sleep. Woke it today, game ran briefly, then minimized. When I went back to it, no audio. Reboot deck. Still no audio in dead cells. Uninstall it, reboot deck. Reinstall. Play Zero Dawn - that has audio. Still no audio in Dead Cells. Uninstall it again after browsing to local content folder. Delete remaining folder after uninstalling. Reboot deck. Reinstall again. Still no loving audio in dead cells! Go in via desktop, look at audio -- I don't see anything weird in the OS settings. No issues with other games; am on the verge of resetting the loving thing. Have not done much in the way of customization or anything weird.

Truga posted:go to desktop mode and run the game, and then check in taskbar in case the game's been muted in KDE itself. every app has its own volume slider both in taskbar and if you click on the sound control in KDE The answer turned out to be more bizarre than this and had something to do with cloud sync. Note that in each case where I had audio problems, I went into the audio menu to verify, and try toggling, the state of the mute button, so I am pretty sure of the chain of events here. I did a complete reset on the steam deck, because it's fast and most of my stuff is on an SD card anyway, which I removed for the duration. Fresh setup, reinstall game -> no audio. Check menu, audio all set. Go to desktop, look at audio settings, everything is normal. The only unusual thing was that the game initially complained about cloud sync on first start up. Because of that, my next step was to go to my desktop computer, and start the game. No audio. At this point, feel like I am going out of my mind, but check audio settings and, the game is muted. Uncheck that, audio on desktop PC. I shut down the game on the desktop, restarted it on the deck, and had audio. Seems like some kind of fuckup with cloud sync state and the game being in a perpetual mute state, no idea why launching from a second machine mattered. Steam Desktop was running on that PC for the duration of all this, which could matter. Fuckin weird man

deck had been working fine, played on Friday, plus it in the case. pulled it out tonight, the ABXY buttons and right stick just do not work, a hard reset makes no difference and so I guess I'm doing an RMA, and also if anyone wants to buy a 512mb at a discount PM me because I've got a hardline fool me once attitude with bespoke hardware, so one way or another I'm cashing out of this piece of poo poo, i expect

MarcusSA posted:lol oh, I'm probably venting and once I get through the presumably long but hopefully painless RMA process I will probably roll my eyes and hope it doesn't happen again. loving annoying, though, I've been playing this like 15 mins a day waiting for my kid's bus to show up, and it's been fine for that, and then poof half the controls just stop working between putting it away on friday and opening it tonight. The gently caress? I have one local friend who has a deck and he had to RMA his for a busted controller the first week, so I am fairly  on the QC here.

Dramicus posted:You should get a proven device that has sticks that will never fail, like the Nintendo Switch. I had a switch and while I didn't love it and ended up selling it, I think what they did with their controllers was smart, compared to the deck with integral "button or joystick breaks, have to RMA/service whole unit". This has been in my mind since day one, but having not one button break but 4 plus a joystick at once when literally nothing happened to the thing has me tilting at windmills. edit: also my 3ds from 2011 still works fine with all its buttons and weird rear end thumbstick, and that will be what I play at the bus stop until Valve straightens me out.

Dramicus posted:Without getting into it too much, it makes sense that everything on the same side failed at once. If you look at how the deck is made, it's got a separate board for each side of inputs. The board might have been bad, or it got knocked loose or who knows. got it. Well, I guess I just have to hope they don't take forever to sort it out, and that they do. It's certainly possible it got jostled but it was just sitting on the passenger seat of a car for a few hours and then on a table, in its case, so if getting whacked in that condition knocked something loose, seems like it was going to happen eventually. anyone know the usual RMA turnaround these days? My friend here did one early on and it was pretty quick, maybe a couple weeks.
