There are controller setups you can use and install from Steam for desktop mode. For whatever reason mine defaulted to a really lovely half-baked one where most stuff wasn't mapped, and there was a default one that set up the left trackpad as a scroll wheel (among other improvements).

The menu was kind of wonky, though. Might be better now

Whenever I try to open the controller configuration in desktop mode it softlocks the device and I have to hold the power button down and force a reboot :v:

Mine said it was with parcelforce until it actually hit the UK, and ended up with Evri.

Luckily this was one of the 50% of my parcels they actually delivered.

If I got the deckdock, would it mean I can use the deck as a mini second screen for my desktop, for controlling Spotify or whatever without alt-tabbing out of what I'm doing?

Also, are there any flight sims that work well on the deck? I mean lightweight or arcadey ones obviously, not full clickable cockpits and high fidelity flight models.

You can control Spotify from anything that runs Spotify in the exact way you’re trying to do here so why not just use the phone app or something?

You just tell the app which logged in device you actually want to play the music on and then control it from whatever.






The dock doesn’t make it into a second display, it makes it into a little desktop pc all on its own.

When did you place an order?

I ordered on Saturday. The order page had been bumped back to 2-4 weeks when I placed my order, but Steam is telling me both my Deck and Dock are at the “Packaged Items” stage, which sounds positive, right?

Mixed feelings on Evri. Normally want to stay clear but they’ve just built an absolutely humongous centre about 5 minutes up the road from my house. Surely that’s too close for them to screw anything up.

They will never service your area with that hub because that would be too sensible.

My buddy can see his local Evri hub from his house and all his parcels still come from one miles and miles away, when they arrive at all.

The demo was mostly fine but it ended just before the major RTS stuff came into play so a lot of people were surprised and annoyed that it became an RTS when the game came out. Lots of people called it a bait and switch and other stuff like that simply because the demo was mostly a hack and slash with light RTS elements and the game itself was the exact opposite once it got going.

I think the game was great fun and the RTS elements, while extremely simple, were well done. The music and voice acting and story were all pretty great and it had the usual double fine humor which I really enjoyed.

The demo was entirely a hack and slash.

The game was fine, I bought it day one after being pretty hyped for it since I’m a big metal head, but let’s not start trying to rewrite history and make out it was a case of people not paying enough attention. They couldn’t have hidden the RTS stuff better if they tried (because they already tried and succeeded).

I haven't run into any time limit... I've accidentally left it connected overnight (active connection seems to block my PC and Steam Deck from sleeping).

Time limit also isn't mentioned in AnyDesk's free limitations: https://anydesk.com/en/pricing/personal

It definitely has a time limit unless you put in a trial license at minimum from the looks of it.

I’ve been using it for the last couple of hours while I set up and transfer a ton of things to the sd card and I’ve had to reconnect multiple times for going over the session time limit due to not entering a license.

Welp, looks like AnyDesk solved my file transfer problems, though I can't figure out how to navigate directly to the SD card so have to transfer to the internal first.

Is there any way to stop the deck from automatically going to sleep though? I couldn't find any power save settings in game mode.

Edit: Welp, looks like Any Desk has a time limit on windows so no mass transfers I guess.

Just use warpinator on the deck and winpinator on your pc to transfer the files. You just tell it a folder to send and accept the connection on the deck and it’ll chug away for as long as it takes.

You can also set the destination folder in warpinator directly to the sd card.


VVVV despite an incredible stockpile of nerd poo poo I haven’t had an android phone since before USB-C existed and I doubt I’m the only person in that boat.

Nevermind, just got it working. For anyone else who needs this, you can use Discover to download Flatseal, then use that app to edit the permissions for Warpinator to see /run/media. You then have to completely restart the deck.

I just went into preferences in Warpinator and chose a folder that existed on my sd card, no other apps or console poo poo or permission changes required :shrug:

I have another emudeck question

I have a ridiculous number of roms. At some point I downloaded torrents of every NES game, every SNES game, and so on. Today, I put all the roms in the requisite directory for emudeck, I clicked "generate app list", and it generated like 3700 apps. I'm guessing if I just go forward with the standard procedure, my home screen will be flooded with thousands of shortcuts for literally every game for every system I've gotten roms for. Obviously I don't want that.

I'm used to emulation station type apps giving you a shortcut to launch the app and then letting you pick the ROM out of a list. Is there a way to make that happen here, or should I just click "generate app list" every time I want to play a new rom and save only the one in question?

It generates collections per-system in steam so you can go pick from them that way, or just load emulation station from within steam and do the same.

To be clear: if I click the "save app list" button is this what it will do? Trying to avoid the scenario where my home screen is unusably flooded with rom shortcuts

Yes

And if you decide it’s too cluttered afterwards you can open steam rom manager again and choose the delete lists option and it’ll nuke them all anyway

Ok that's fuckin sweet. I'm gonna have to set that up tonight I think.

Use the chiaki4deck version, they have a setup guide that gets you up and running with a game mode shortcut too.

For whatever reason when I got to the final step I had to manually browse to where the shortcut script had been created because steam didn’t find it automatically like the guide suggested it would, but that was the only hiccup.

I’m going to open up my Deck to fix the L1 breakage and install the hall-effect joystick sensors. Anyone have any advice for the process? I’ve heard about backing the case screws off a bit when putting them back in, so they line up better with the existing holes and don’t loosen them further.

(I haven’t soldered in ages, this could be an expensive evening!)

If you start soldering it will definitely be an expensive evening because none of that should require a soldering iron

The joystick sensors need to have the lead for the capacitive touch cap thing de-soldered and moved to the new ones, I believe? That’s what it said on the Guilikit web site at least.

Oh they don’t include the caps? That should be an easy job at least, and is suitably far away from the actual expensive parts of the device.

so it's easier? i'm going to have a hard time absorbing this.......

what's a Discovery Store, is that like your linux distro package managers (apt, rpm, yum, etc.) but for the Deck?

It’s easier*

*until you run into something that needs you to dig into winetricks or whatever it’s called to install specific extra .net or directx components, and then it varies from a little fussy but no big deal to tearing your hair out as you bang your head against a wall trying to make it work.

But considering the device is billed as a steam specific piece of kit it’s not like that’s an unforgivable sin.

I’ve had a few fully verified games do weird things like default to kb+m controls and button prompts when my steam deck has never been within like 10 feet of a kb+m

It’s very consoley but with a few quirks that only a lifetime of dumb pc janitoring can really prepare you for, and ultimately anyone dropping £300-500 on a device being sold by a PC gaming storefront probably has that in them already.

Nobody’s grandma is going into a store to find them a Nintendo for Christmas and coming out with a Steam Deck.

You have to install windows to play Fortnite on the deck because the anticheat poo poo doesn’t work under wine/proton and Epic have no plans to make/let it work.
