GuliKit is going to sell HAL sticks for the Steam Deck, those are the same in the Aya Neo Pro and in their King Kong 2 Pro controller.
Can you click these new thumbsticks? I thought that Alp had a patent on clickable thumbsticks

At least in the KingKong2 Pro you can (I have one), I don't know about the Aya Neo.Can you click these new thumbsticks? I thought that Alp had a patent on clickable thumbsticks
It is strange that Valve is not sending developers detailed infos on why their game has been rated as "unsupported". Maybe some toothing problems in their testing framework. I would assume that the plan is for devs to receive info on these reports quickly
Please, check your unsupported games because this might happen, as you might remember Ghost of a Tale was unsupported and here we are.
i bet it was fixed alongside proton 7Please, check your unsupported games because this might happen, as you might remember Ghost of a Tale was unsupported and here we are.
Limiting the framerate to 30fps strongly impacts the battery life. Without limits, I can play Dark Souls 3 for about 1 hour 45 minutes. At 30fps, I can play for over 4 hours!
Nice, the battery life video from Phawx showed how much more time you can gain with that. Combining it with FSR will make that effect even better. How did you find the FSR for non-native supported games? I guess it makes UI elements hard to read depending on the resolution. I think not every game supports lower-than-native res as well.Limiting the framerate to 30fps strongly impacts the battery life. Without limits, I can play Dark Souls 3 for about 1 hour 45 minutes.

On linux it work, i'm on xorg and it stutter a lot, probably i should switch to wayland

Seems pretty fluent on my end when using xorg, but I also wasnt' using it in fullscreen so maybe harder to notice any stutters that way.

I'm looking for a tutorial to play Mass Effect Trilogy (Origin) on Steam Deck. Do I need Lutris to do so or is there an easier way?
I think some people said bringing up the "overlay" just opens the main menu, not the in-game menu.Does the steampal ui trick give you a new overlay?
Also that GuliKit vid was interesting, very curious about those sticks.

I haven't tried it, but it's clearly not ready to go on non-Steam Deck devices just yet.
Interesting. Like, if it's just "alt tabbing" to the desktop environment, and the controller works there just fine and you can easily check achievements or something, maybe it doesn't need an "overlay" as such.I think some people said bringing up the "overlay" just opens the main menu, not the in-game menu.

weird thing that i dont remember the devkit units having complains about it ... i even remember someone testing the sound and deck was one of the less loud similar devices
could be SW issuue with fancontrol
More reports of fan on the unit being annoying.
Maybe you all should just cancel?
especially if you're in the EU, mid-tier pool
Just realised I may be able to walk past the Deus Ex GOTY woes on Steam Deck, by playing the Deux Ex Revision mod instead. Will test that now.
I do really like the deck so far, despite the many bugs and that damn fan.
It's pretty bad. If only it didn't have the high pitch whine. It's not a problem when you have headphone on or are in a noisy room. Otherwise... yeah, its irritating, and you eventually tune it out. Its more being around others that I can immediately tell, it's going to annoy others. Especially at night
I was gonna suggest Deus Ex Revision! Havent played it myself so I wasnt sure if I should recommend it. A quick search revealed not everyone was happy with the changed, but its best to see for yourself
BTW I dont think the issues of Deus Ex GOTY are related to the Deck, that might just be Deus Ex being weird, I had similar colour issues when I last played it a few years back (on Windows)

regarding the fan: I'll probably get used to that quickly. My laptop also has an annoyingly loud fan![]()
On one hand it sucks to read the reviews about the piss-poor display, the large bezels, the drifting, the flakey OS and the large number of issues people are having with games and the stuff about the high pitched annoying fan noise.
But on the other hand, it represents the biggest breakthrough in PC gaming in a long time, so I think I have to stick with it. I'll get the 3rd revision if they're every couple years, and deal with the initial launch version weaknesses. It'll be worth it for access to my whole Steam library more or less on a device that will evolve and get better. So even though the draw backs sound pretty crappy, I still think I'm going to find quite a lot of uses and it'll allow me to play games I'd not normally have been likely to.
piss-poor display = bullshit. I have it. It's better than switch. Obviously it's not OLED. You aren't going to die because of that
the large bezels = ymmv but this hasn't even crossed my mind when using it, so more yelping from "reviewers", much like the "heavy" weight, which is also nonsense, since again I can barely tell the difference vs a Switch, unless I hold in one hand, which will obviously feel worse because it is a longer device.
flakey OS and large number of issues = everything valve does is like this and was absolutely expected for me. I'm in now, because as much as I'll talk about it, I'm happy to dive in and see it evolve quickly, similar to SteamVR, Index etc
game compatibility = again known for years, and should be expected unless you balloon your expectations as some have done following their hype
high pitched annoying fan noise = yeah the one thing I thought I'd be fine with, and I am, It would be nice if it wasn't there but for the price and ease to work around it, I can let that slide.
isnt steamos still on xorg as well?
I’m not expecting the screen to be better than the Switch OLED, but saying it sucks is likely a gross exaggeration.
I think it's less a cost issue, and more a supply one. I would assume a Deck 2 will probably just come with decent OLED screens by default, since Valve will have good ideas about customer demand by then and can negotiate with a screen producer and secure the screens at a decent unit price.I haven't gotten my unit yet, but the "screen is absymal" thing seems very weird to me. It seems everyone is saying it's better than the first Switch and that's okay in my book. If you want better screen and what not you would have to go with other devices and pay more than double.
Mine at least arrived in Austria. So I guess today or tomorrow.Mine still going around Europe
