Dang I put a deposit in on 5/28 and checked the thing:

Results:

You placed a US 256GB reservation on 2022-05-28T23:19:16Z (UTC)

That is 316 days, 06 hours, 19 minutes and 16 seconds after pre-orders opened

48 days, 01 hours, 18 minutes and 40 seconds worth of pre-orders have been processed

That's 22 days, 16 hours, 14 minutes and 08 seconds more than last batch

You have 268 days, 05 hours, 00 minutes and 36 seconds worth of pre-orders to go until it is your turn (not real time)

You're 15.19 % of the way there!

I had no idea it was that stacked :gonk: I came to the thread thinking it would be happening soon

I mean most of us waited just over a year soooo.

Yeah I see that now. I think I must have read the year wrong on the page because I thought it said September or October. I waited for the raving reviews, I wasn't going to commit before it came out but I also wanted to feel comfortable I had enough savings for when I had to pay :shrug:

You might already know this, but you are not waiting 268 days for it. That number is how many days worth of pre-orders they have to go through. They fulfilled 15 "days" of pre-orders on Monday.


All orders will be completed before the end of the year so worse case 4 months, but at the rate they are getting these things out I'd put a guess you'll be before October.

Yeah I was surprised to see there's still like 270 days worth, but thinking more about it I guess the number per day varies, like the holiday season days will probably be bulkier, etc. but glad to know the September estimate they gave me is still a realistic hope!

I would double check to see what the official Steam page says. They said recently that everyone who already had their orders in by [date I can't remember but it was only a few weeks ago] would get theirs by the end of this year. I just checked mine, and I ordered the 512gig on 5/8/2022 and I'm scheduled to get it Q4 of 2022. You should be right around there too.

Yes you're right, it's still projected in Q4. Great news! :)

Anyone played cyberpunk on their deck yet? How was it? I've already played it a ton on PS5 so I'm hoping I can install mods too. I won't get 60 fps like the PS5 but with some modding and tweaks who knows?

Path on the deck? I have like 4k hours played on PC, it's hard to imagine doing it handheld now. My PC was starting to show its age with PoE too, how does it run when you have delirium fog and lots of mobs?

Also I broke like a 3 year addiction to that game and haven't played for a year, maybe I shouldn't think about this lol

I played rf inquis mostly on the deck last league and it's pretty good. It actually runs better than it does on my PC lol. But also I found that I'd rather just play other genres that are better suited for controller.

Yeah I think I would be better suited playing other stuff on the deck but it's nice to know it's an option now! playing PoE on my PS5 was always going to be a no-go since I have like thousands of dollars in MTX on steam and they don't cross platform that stuff for whatever reason

My PC is a 10 year old i7 3220k or something like that, with a 970 gtx. I imagine the deck can do as good or better lol

drat, FedEx says I may get the deck tomorrow, I just got the shipping email this morning. I'm in the Dallas area for comparison.

Also for those of you doing remote play PS5 stuff: my main screen is a 4K OLED for the PS5 so I imagine the deck screen is not going to hold up to that experience, but it may be worth it if the game isn't a visual powerhouse.. and I could play anywhere in the house... hmmm 🤔

I’m playing Cyberpunk thanks to that other goon’s setting suggestions, and holy poo poo am I bad at aiming with a controller. I need a training regimen or something.

Cyberpunk has a pretty nice aim assist for snapping to targets in the settings. It also has some settings I turned off on the PS5 to make it feel better to me.

You need to go under advanced control options and zero out all the "bonus" and "delay" options for turning and the like. This made movement, gunplay and driving feel SIGNIFICANTLY better for me, but YMMV.

Also I turned off basically every effect, chromatic aberration, film grain, motion blur... but that was 4K OLED 60fps, another user said motion blur was nice to cover up for the lower frame rates on the deck. Also apparently those effects are more immersive if you consider that your eyes are not organic in-game so the lens effects do make sense to leave on if you consider it that way

Ugh something is messed up with my deck order. My credit card had a pending charge but it's completely vanished from my card statement now.

Steam purchase history shows a failed charge at 12:22 and then a successful one at 12:23. I have a shipment tracking number but it hasn't changed position yet. (Not like I'm expecting to get it if my payment didn't go through.)

My bank was completely useless, they don't even see the canceled transaction, it's like it never happened on their end. So now I gotta wait for a Valve response to see what the hell i can do about this :(

For a company that really just wants to take my money, Visa sure likes to make me jump through hoops to actually use this card sometimes :argh:

That seems to be ona per game basis, and it would take me a week to submit all of the tickets to remove so much bullshit.

I have everything I don't play under Hidden, I just want it off my account. This is super OCD of me but I would honestly prefer to purge all of the crap I don't play off my account. Hell I have games I've played and beaten I know I will never play again that I wouldn't mind getting rid of.

Also my Steam Inventory, I would happier than a pig in poo poo if Valve added a way for me to select all of the things I have collected and allow me to list it all for the cheapest market value it's currently going for. Also to remove certain things from my account that aren't even sellable would be nice too.

Oh hell yeah, thank you. This is going to be a lot faster than selling everything individually. I have 36 something pages of Steam inventory and most of it is cards.

Yeah, if you play one game and buy stuff regularly for it you are constantly barraged with card drops. For me that was happening with Path of Exile and Idle Champions for a while, to the point I had the highest badges crafted but still had cards coming in all the time, and that made it super easy to unload them occasionally for like... 80 cents in my steam wallet :homebrew:

Don't try and reimage from a USB stick, it takes forever if it even works (in my case it didn't even work), keep a spare microSD and use that as a recovery drive. It'll load and reinstall instantly.

I have a microSD for the deck I am putting the redownloaded image on right now, the usb stick did boot up while I was in the other room but I'm gonna pass since you say it takes forever

The only issue I have with the ergonomics of the deck is the shoulder buttons. They feel awkward to press and I usually find myself remapping them to L4/R4.

Yes I find where on a console controller my index fingers prefer to rest on the shoulders, with the deck it's inverted and I prefer to rest on the trigger and move to use the shoulder buttons. Which can feel a little backwards!

Also 1tb SSD steam deck is glorious, with another 1tb SD card. I am installing too many things, shader hell incoming? Need to get EmuDeck set up now and load all that stuff in then this thing will be insane :getin:

I just realized today that my haptics and rumble don't work anymore. The trackpads give haptic feedback when the deck is booting up but once steam OS is loaded up, they just stop doing anything. :confused:

Downloading a mod off the Nexus site, dropping it in the MO2 folder, and checking it in MO2 isn’t any trouble at all on the Deck. Being able to run Vortex in handheld mode would be pretty awesome, though.

My Fallout 3 TTW playthrough used around 120 mods and only crashed twice in ~100 hrs so I can attest to the stability of this setup on the Steam Deck.

Dang, I was just looking at modding FO3 today and one of the things I was going to install (Fallout Script Extender) wanted me to change the game to load from their loader.exe instead of the game .exe and I thought that sounded annoying to figure out and decided to rain check.

I was really just trying to enable quick saving and loading so I could save scum mid-conversation, not go mod crazy in general.

Take 2 on modding my fallout install, currently watching Konsole run through a pacman-key refresh-all because half the things I'm trying to install are giving bad trustdb checks.. didn't realize it was going to take this long to run haha

I also got hash check errors when I was using Winetricks to install the visual c++ redistributables, but it looks like they installed fine.. 🤞🏻

Still need to do some searching on my no haptics/rumble issue but I want to get FO3 working first :mad:

Also kinda wishing I had waited because of course they came out with an OLED deck later :argh: how much and how arduous is it to just upgrade the screen? :ohdear:

Well I found out the tweak available in New Vegas that allows you to use keyboard and mouse and controller simultaneously doesn't play so nice with FO3, so it's not available, but apparently you can get it working if you set up TTW.

So I've scrubbed everything and I'm just going to do the install and set up The Twin Wastelands on my PC save then just copy the files over method because man even with a keyboard and mouse futzing around with Linux in desktop mode is draining.

I told my PC to get to downloading both games so I can get to work in the morning :D
