Fuck yeah! Can finally play Vampire Survivors again.
|OT| Valve's Steam Deck (OLED)- coming to Straya in Nov 2024
- Thread starter prudis
- Start date
Ever since my Steam Deck arrived, the Steam Deck compatability status is nearly as important to check on a game as the price during discounts!

to me who mostly plays on a Linux laptop, its a godsent having Proton in the state that it is. The amount of games that work on Linux now compared to a couple years ago is simply amazing. I love it just for that, and really appreciate Valves effort in pushing Linux as a gaming platform.
(Having said that, I should play more on the Deck, its just that I vastly prefer a big screen and keyboard+mouse controls for almost everything. Still great to have it for when Im away tho)
You can force locale by adding
Code:

Having this issue right now.
Doesn’t help I’m in another country right now and the internet connections are not great.
I've been having this issue on the Beta branch. I've tried switching to the Stable branch for now and you might need a new IP to re-login again since the beta branch login failures seem to block you with a "Too many attempts" error message.
This isn't really a deck problem, but I've been playing P5R on my PC and the Deck, and I had some suspicions so today I decided to test it. And for some reason the game cloud syncs the graphic settings. I'm not sure what's the point of syncing them (at least the display settings don't seem to sync).
It's not much problem since I only edit like two settings shadow resolution (that I read on PCGW that it might be bugged) and render scale.
But still I'd be nice if they weren't synced.

You don’t really need to test it. You can go to the Remote Storage page on Steam and find the game and see what files are syncing.

Syncing settings is stupid IMHO.
Well, more precisely, if you wanted to do it really right, you'd have to split your settings storage into "player preferences" and "system preferences" and sync one and not the other. But failing that just not syncing them is much better as far as I am concerned

I hope Valve will introduce missing cloud saves, as well as syncing resolution and graphics settings between devices as issues for Deck verification. Maybe that could give some developers incentives to get it right.

Looks like Square-Enix is going all in. I see it more clearly everyday, KH will come when they can safely verify the titles.
Why some games doesn't have Cloud Saves enabled in the first place boggles my mind.

I generally assume all of Square's work on Steam is done by their resident janitor, Hirojuki Ito.
And maybe he just didn't have enough time, until now, to click through the Web UIs needed to enable cloud saves (no idea how it's actually done, just spitballing here).
Maybe when on his break from cleaning the floors, he can finally get to finish uploading the Steam port of Kingdom Hearts. Time will tell.
literally just inputting the path where saves are stored, takes like 5 seconds
If it’s so easy to setup, maybe they should quickly fix it when they accidentally sync settings files.
Or maybe Valve should let us pick which files to sync as an advanced user setting.

Harvestella runs great at 40hz on Proton Experimental. 3 hours+ battery life. Some stuttering thanks to Unreal Engine, but the overall experience is delightful.

MH Rise does this too, I stopped playing it on deck because it was annoying to have to switch between settings multiple times a day
The left stick of my Deck makes a scratching noise when pushing it upwards, and I can feel something blocking the movement as well. People with similar issues are claiming that the wire going to the touch pad on the stick is causing this, but I don't have the necessary tools to open the Deck.
Perhaps I should contact Valve for repair, but how long would I have to miss my Deck? I'm using it every day...

Uh, for the last few days, my deck hasn’t been able to reach steam servers upon wake up and I have to restart it. Each time.
Am I alone ?

I have the exact same issue. Super frustrating
I had similar issue when I received my Deck. I opened it, but it was not a wire issue, but instead there was something inside the analog stick that made the scratching noises when I moved it upward. I sprayed it from every side with compressed air and the thing that was inside moved and now it only made that sound when I moved my analog down, which was slightly better. I used it like this for about a month and in that time that debris inside moved, because I could hear scratching noises when I moved analog in different direction so I opened the Deck again and sprayed it again and the issue was suddenly gone. It was like 3 months ago and it still works fine.
crossposting from the Cheater's Corner thread, there's now a guide to run Aurora on Steam Deck (and I guess it works with linux in general)
I guess you can use the same method via steamtinkerlaunch (or Bottles, or Proton command arguments or whatever) to run Cheat Engine as well or similar software.

Don‘t know if it’s because my monitor doesn‘t support it of if this is part of the Samsung issues, but it not detecting the deck signal on the hdmi and auto switching kinda defeat the point of having multiple devices on it.
Sure, I can point the monitor to the signal, but I have a very limited faith in the durability of monitor buttons.

I was blogging about how my Deck is a dream come true Because I never really cared for mobile platforms due to concessions made for performance.
Realized that I own a buttload of (3)DS and Switch game that I have never played.
I will be looking into emulation for dummies. I have not tried emulating video games for about 10 years now.

It happens sometimes even on my LG TV but I have an HDMI switches between the deck and the TV itself. Sometimes the deck do not send video signal after wake up, all It takes Is a Power off/Power on of the switch (Or the TV, i connected the switch itself on an USB on It)
Man the linux side of the Deck is such an afterthought. Still the same fucking bug when nothing updates when there are too many flatpaks to update.
And on a more personal note, warpinator doesn't finds winpinator. Again.
I suppose I will have to use an ftp client ? In 2022.

Decided to take the plunge and order a 1tb NVMe and a 1tb SD card for my Deck. I've started to find that the 256gb NVMe and 512gb SD card is not enough for my "Up Next" and "Playing" categories on Steam alongside my ROMs and the games I keep on always installed because I may play them at a whim.
Between 1tb NVMe and 1tb SD card I should have plenty storage for all this, and my Switch OLED will get a nice 512gb SD card upgrade in the process.
Just have to psyche myself up to open my Deck now.

I'm too chicken for that
But in an age where the average AA game is 30Gb, my 256gb is not enough.

Cyberpunk got official support for FSR 2.1, so it's a big improvement for Deck users.

According to Protondb, you gotta be the host for multiplayer to work
So I've finally worked out how to give Syncthing permissions to access all my EmuDeck emulator flatpaks, so now I can sync my emulator saves from my Deck to my Home Server and my Gaming PC, and back again.
This is, of course, pending my Gaming PC getting emulators installed and setup. Maybe that's my weekend project...

The main branch (bleeding edge) has the latest version of KDE. So an update is thankfully coming. Still no KDE Connect though, but Discover doesnt shit the bed anymore.
Edit: Wait I am wrong!!! KDE Connect is available by default. Hopefully it will be pushed though the stable branch asap. That app is awesome not only for file sharing.

Was sitting in my gaming chair with my elbows on my knees while playing my deck. I moved and my hand slipped. Dropped right on the right bumper on the carpeted basement floor.
Now that bumper isn't as sensitive as it used to be. I have to hit it harder to activate or higher up on the bumper. I noticed this while achievement hunting in Ghost Song.
Sadage.
Edit: already looked at ifixit just to see how I could access it and take a look.
That's wayyyyy too many steps.

I've been playing pikmin for the first time on my Deck on my trip to London at night when I'm winding down... It's been excellent!
I'm enjoying pikmin a lot too. Interesting twist on RTS games which I always liked, but never had a gamecube.
BTW, my ideal configuration right now is setting up emudeck with only Emulation Station added to the steam game overlay mode. This comes with the downside of having to change my controller configuration manually between consoles, but I might make a pull request to emulation station to allow for quickly isolating specific consoles so I can make individual launchers for each console.

Yeah, I’m… not a fan of emulation on the Deck for now. It’s one little issue after another for me.
Right now I have to decide if I want to reinstall separate switch emus and suffer from possible complications, or use the emudeck ones where I can’t for the life of me access the emulator UI during play.

From what I've seen Deck isn't powerful enough for most high end Switch games at native, never mind better settings, but others say theirs does it just fine, Idk.

There seem to have been a big update to the Preview Channel !
Rebased the OS on the latest version of Arch, trim re-enabled, update to the Dock, the changelog is really interesting.
