My Steam Deck died on the weekend after I'd had it for about 48 hours  (512GB, Q3)It wouldn't come back up after I'd left Hitman 3 in suspend mode for a while, and then at first recovery mode started but didn't work - followed by no longer booting the recovery image at all, via USB or SD. I've just dropped it off back with FedEx, hopefully they'll get a replacement out soon!

Say, I just noticed something - the new case I got with my replacement Steam Deck has white zippers, where the original ones were definitely black. Not sure if it signifies a replacement unit or just supplier variation (Edit: I have a 512GB unit)

Super Amazing Wagon Adventure is one of my favourite games, and unfortunately on the Steam Deck it has no music. I've tried it with the different Proton versions, and also recently added and tried Proton GE as well. What else can I try for compatibility options? What are the best resources to start digging through? I don't want to bug the developer unless there's no other option.. ("hi you might not have a steam deck yet but can you please debug your 10 year old game for me?  ")SAWA is an XNA 4.0 game, and from what I can tell there are other XNA games in protondb where the music definitely works - but maybe i could force-install a runtime or something? Any ideas appreciated! Snackmar fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Sep 6, 2022 |

Family Values posted:I had to return the JSAUX dock because it broke HDMI-CEC and HDMI-ARC. Hopefully the official dock doesn't have this problem. That happened to me too btw - we didn't notice right away, but a few days after trying the JSAUX dock we realized that the LG C1 remote suddenly could no longer control the Apple TV. If anyone else runs into that: the fix was to remove the JSAUX stuff, unplug the TV, sound bar, and Apple TV, plug it all back in, toggle CEC off on the C! and then back on, then configure Universal Control (which turns on IR control instead of CEC), then unconfigure it so that it goes back to CEC, and finally everything was normal again (I ended up ordering the official dock, I can maybe use the JSAUX one on the upstairs TV)

Subjunctive posted:Is there a good RDP client for Deck? I have wake-on-LAN set up and working, but Steam streaming runs the game behind a Windows login and then the Steam client just gets stuck: I can’t click the mouse and holding the two-squares button just pops a fly out that says “hold escape to exit session” but I have to restart Steam to get out of it. Steam-button combos don’t work either If this is the root problem, like you'd prefer to solve this instead of doing some remote desktop thing, there was a fix recently for the "can't click when the screen is locked" issue. When your remote play shows the locked Windows screen, press the Steam Deck's ... button, and then tap the keyboard icon. You can then use the Steam keyboard to type in your PIN and unlock the lock screen.

I finally set up Sunshine on my PC and Moonlight on my Deck and I'm shocked at how great it is. I set it to native resolution and everything is perfect. (Steam Remote Play is decent and all, but I've found it just buggy enough with sound randomly disppearing to be annoying.) Does anyone know if there's convenient way to remap the Steam Deck rear buttons automatically in Moonlight on a per-game basis? Right now the only game I stream to the deck is Starfield so it doesn't affect me, but my understanding is that if there were a second game I wanted to stream, I'd have to remap Moonlight's controls manually each time.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I'm not really a graphics guy, I'll play anything that's fun (except MOBAs, gently caress those), but I am very VERY jealous of how my wife gets 60fps in Baldur's Gate 3 on her laptop, whereas I'm down to 30-ish (some stuttering). Have you considered streaming it from your PC? Steam Remote Play is mostly decent (just buggy), but the quality of Sunshine+Moonlight astonished me. I was actually okay with the lo-fi aesthetic of playing Starfield locally on the Deck, but streaming is so much nicer.

I'd like to give using the Steam Deck on the TV a go, but I won't do it without a controller that has four rear paddles/buttons in a similar physical configuration as the Steam Deck itself or an Xbox Elite controller. Having only two rear paddles/buttons, or having four but arranged in a different layout isn't good enough. Which gamepad can I use instead? (the Elite v2 has compatibility issues that disqualify it) edit: also if anyone is playing on their TV using the deck and just a really long cord, that's not the worst thing in the world i guess Snackmar fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Nov 28, 2023 |

I notice that Starfield is not on that list.. Actually, I'm wondering now if they count streamed games as being played "on Steam Deck"? 99% of the Starfield-ing that I did do on the deck was streaming-only. (first via regular steam remote play, then moonlight)

Has anyone heard of game compatibility differences between the Steam Deck and the Steam Deck OLED? I bought the Steam Deck OLED LE at launch, but I only just opened and set it up this week. When I started playing LogiArt Grimoire, I realized that it has sound on my Steam Deck, but not on my Steam Deck OLED LE.  Other games play sound correctly on my OLED LE, and although it uses the same Proton as the original Steam Deck, I tried a couple different versions just in case, but no change. The game is still early access, but I don't want to send such an odd bug report if there's something else I'm maybe overlooking on a fresh unit?

Angryhead posted:Sorry goon, can't help you with your problem but I actually came to post about Logiart Grimoire myself, because it's pretty good (on my LCD Deck) I feel that - I find them doable on the Switch OLED (and impossible on the original Switch), but usually when I get to the 30x30 and 30x40 in the Picross S games I go play them on the TV instead, heh I've sent off a support request to Valve about Logiart Grimoire and the Steam Deck OLED LE for now.. I'll pass it on to Jupiter if Valve says it's not a hardware problem. Meanwhile, If someone else loves picross and has an OLED or OLED LE model with audio, please let me know!

Re the new trackpads on the OLED models: I thought they were fine on the LCD model, and I liked them quite a bit in games like RimWorld, but the new trackpads are so much better for desktop mode and normal mouse stuff. Like it's a breeze to type my user password in desktop mode with the thumb keyboard now, where before it was a bit of a crapshoot whether it would just be quicker to use the d-pad.

Pierson posted:Oh for sure, I just asked RDR2 specifically because I've played the other ones to death and not really explored the first much. If it can hit 30fps even if it sucks battery life out that sounds like it could be fun! Just don't forget that streaming (especially using Moonlight+MoonDeck) is a great option for big games, too. Sure you could tweak your settings to get by on ~25 fps and a loud fan, or you could stream it from your local PC (or remote using Tailscale) at full performance with a nice, quiet fan. I hate to keep mentioning it but after using it for Starfield and Baldur's Gate 3, I'm really sold on local streaming as the most practical way to play big games on the Deck

WhiteHowler posted:I haven't really looked into Moonlight/MoonDeck. Does it just stream whatever's on your PC (including stuff outside of Steam) onto the SteamDeck? That's right, you can add any non-Steam games to Steam and stream them, though Game Pass also does it remote from MS servers via Edge, using these official instructions from Microsoft. (To play Game Pass games streamed locally, there are sometimes some extra hoops to make an .exe file available to Steam from the protected game folders on your hard drive) The full combo is: - Sunshine on your PC https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine as the host - Moonlight on your Steam Deck from the Discover app store in desktop mode - Decky Loader on your Steam Deck, with the MoonDeck plug-in from its extension store (Without MoonDeck, you launch Moonlight as a separate app and then choose a game. With MoonDeck, you launch each game directly from the library using a moon icon instead of the play button - the primary effect being that each game can have custom mapping for controls) Snackmar fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Jan 15, 2024 |

WhiteHowler posted:That's not streaming from my PC though. It's setting up Cloud Game Pass to stream through Edge on the SteamDeck, right? Does it even require Moonlight? (Or is that built into the community package for this?) That's right - so when it comes to Game Pass games, you can either choose to add them as non-Steam games to Steam and then stream via Moonlight, or, you can choose to use the official instructions to do Microsoft streaming of Game Pass games. The local streaming option is better in all respects, but I just wanted to make sure to mention that it's not the only option for Game Pass.
