they just encrypted the archive with modelsI thought they were stuck because that talent agency was afraid PC gamers would mod a dick on the main character's face or something.
Yeah Valve really needs to do better on that front, hopefully they will with the push they are doing into Asia.
July 29th. But my first preorder was august 2021 haha, had to cancel because didn't have the money yet.
What's notable is, that this is also the expected date for new orders. That means Valve is confident it can deliver a Deck (at least here in Europe) to everyone within just 3 months. That's pretty impressive compared to the near year long wait for the initial batches. At this point I'm very confident Valve will be able to do proper worldwide release of the Steam Deck next year. (or at least make it available in far more markets, if they can find distribution partners).
Yeah when I reordered they said that all new orders would get it before Christmas, and even after that they have improved production, so much so that even now new orders will get it this year.
Releasing the Deck in more markets at this point is now more a logistical than a supply problem. Clearly they will be able to meet demand in all released markets by the end of the year.
I think for a future Deck successor, it will take far less time to go for worldwide release, since by that time, Valve will have regional partners and a better understanding of the demand and userbase.
I would guess you will get the mail on Thursday, since they are up to July 14th in EU as of yesterday.
Yooooooooo! I was expecting like November, this is some crazy good news in that case. Also because I had the funds ready just last week haha
Sorry, a minor correction:
That's my biggest fear, I live in a dump, with weirdos, junkies and drugdealers, I'm not joking, they are all nice but I don't trust any of them to not snatch a package if they can.
I'm a student and do all the work at home haha. But what I worry about is that the delivery person won't call me and gets lost in the building. I know I'm just paranoid and sure all will go alright.
You can either get a hub with power delivery or you can stream your Deck screen to your Mac with Steam Remote Play or Moonlight.
Ah yeah I didn’t think about steam remote thing, that should work. But does that have a performance hit on the deck?
You can use Heroic for GOG and EGS (not sure about other games), Lutris, or install via Steam directly (I posted a how-to at some point but cant find it right now). Your mileage may vary on a game-to-game basis. My results with GOG games on Heroic havent been so great, so far, tbh. Maybe it set it up wrong, tho.
You don't say. One time it works as it should (jeez, thank you ?). One time it freeze while fetching updates. And one time, like right now, it freezes while updating a big list of apps.
What's even more frustrating is that there is a fix. Discover is pretty much rock solid on my desktop. There is a bug report so hopefully Valve picks it up someday. Update to KDE Plasma 5.25 for better desktop mode touch support and other new features · Issue #797 · ValveSoftware/SteamOS · GitHub
