VALVE STOP TEASING ME, I NEED THE DECK
Started up elden ring a ding and after an hour of gameplay and kicking the bucket 100 times I haven't stuttered once and at a constant 60 fps. Pretty darn happy I very recently built my pc in time for the release![]()
Crap, that sucks :/You are one of the chosen, very lucky.
I was having heavy drops and stutter basically every 5 mins, have since locked the game to 40fps in control panel and that seems to have eliminated drops and I havent seen any stutter like before maybe every 30mins there is the slightest of hitches. (Obviously this wouldn't be a solution for many, as it isn't 60fps, but for me I'm fine).
Thank you to everyone who's tested and shared feedback with us regarding Experiment 13.
Keep the feedback coming!

Gabe Newell explains why Steam banned NFTs
Amidst bumper acquisitions and a multitude of mega new releases, NFTs have garnered many headlines across the industry …www.eurogamer.net
He seemed genuinely sad that he couldn't keep that dev model. Though it is a bit surprising that developers don't get to keep those.
right now i don't think it's even really clear whether or when the game will be finished given current world eventsGreen Man Gaming has S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 for 30% off under XP deals. It's really tempting but I'm not sure if the game will actually be good.
Happy launch day! We’ve seen some questions about what it means to be in the Q1 reservation group, and when these folks will receive their emails. Here’s how it breaks down.
- All people who are in the Q1 reservation window on the Steam Deck store page will receive an order email by the end of March. (Q1 is Quarter 1, or January through March).
- The first batch of emails has already gone out this morning.
- The next batch of emails will go out on Monday, March 7th. (It turns out the logistics work out better if we don’t try to ship over a weekend.)
- We’ll continue sending emails to Q1 reservers in the order their reservations were made on a weekly basis through the end of March (March 14th, 21st, 28th)
- In April, we’ll start going through the Q2 queue in a similar fashion.
We’re working through our production schedules, and will have news soon for folks in the After-Q2 bucket.
I read someone who tried the Xbox controller yesterday and had troubles setting it up. My Dualsense worked fine tho.Anyone else playing ER with an Xbox Series gamepad on PC? Do vibrations work for you? Sometimes my inputs won't register, which is annoying. Also, the performance is... not great. I don't know for whom the minimum spec is because I sure can't hold stable 60 fps even tho I exceed the minimum specs at 1080p.
EDIT. Also, this game feels like it has a big input lag.

The limited region thing is definitely the most compromised thing about the Deck launch. I guess it's just that Valve has zero experience or connections with shipping hardware globally, and just made the decision to postpone that after the Deck has launched and they have a better idea about how many of these they can produce in a year.THE EMBARGO IS FUCKING OVER

I got achievements for steam games in offline mode but it can depend on the game, it might show the achievement as "UNLOCKED xyz (Icon for achievement)" as a blank sort of tab since it can't grab the info if you're offline but it will be unlockedCan you still unlock cheevos if you play in offline mode?
I just continued my Desktop Elden Ring save on the Deck. So yes.
store page dont have it, bottom right, maybe only cloud save the config file...
dark souls games dont have it.. anyone can confirm if elder ring have cloud saves?
Well, it definitely has some good airflow![]()
Case was supposed to arrive today but then it didn't. Bleh.
For some reason, it's almost unusably slow right now. I know the i5 6600k and GTX 970 are well past their prime, but it shouldn't be taking upwards of a minute for the start menu to appear. Browsing a basic webpage is basically impossible because doing anything makes itI freeze up. I did cheap out a bit and get a general-purpose HDD, not something made for gaming, but even then it should still be functional. Like, my laptop is weaker in every dimension and works fine.
