@Natanael @qupada All I want is just a tiny bit more performance overhead so games like Elden ring can hold a solid 30FPS. I am also fine with 800p, it kinda forces developers to make better scaling UI.

Gaming handheld prices are out of control, except for the Steam Deck in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

@etchinghillside @Fubarberry I guess if your device is not really scaleable, the only way to make any money is shoot for the top end.

@omgubuntu@floss.social I can't wait for this bubble to pop. The suspense is killing me.

I did it. I finally did it. After all these years, all the time I spent searching, I found the last known fully offline build for Graal classic. in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

@p5yk0t1km1r4ge @ICastFist oh man, I loved Classic Graal, I never got into the sci-fi stuff, but the zelda-like was awesome.

Valve release big stable Steam Client update for Steam / Steam Deck in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

[–] weston@techhub.social 3 points 2 years ago

@replicat @steamdeck Still broken. We probably have to wait till SteamOS 3.6 goes stable.

I'm worried that the next stable client update will break remote play. in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

@Jz5678910 Touché.

Still I really would just prefer they fix it on the steam side. I use streaming outside my network and unfortunately my ISP does double NAT which means port forwarding doesn’t work. So I’m stuck with Remote Play for now.

@Jz5678910 How is sunshine and moonlight a better solution? There is no NAT traversal, no remote install, and you have to manually add all of your games.

Is there some magic moonlight version that fixes this that I am unaware of?

Palworld is getting anticheat, but it shouldn't cause issues for Steam Deck/Linux because it will be mostly optional in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

@conciselyverbose @steamdeck It would be nice if game devs didn’t require a game to become the primary way of life for millions in order to be a success. #latestagecapitalism

[Help] Issue with on-screen keyboard in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

@galmuth @steamdeck I have the same issue, are you on the latest beta? I think it’s a beta bug.

@msage @steamdeck Judgement is good, I wish these games didn’t have endless cutscenes though. It makes it hard for me to complete them in a reasonable timeframe.

@swordsmanluke I guess it really depends on your wifi quality and lag tolerance. I have my PC wired in and really fast Ubiquiti Wifi AP’s so it’s not really noticeable here.

@swordsmanluke @steamdeck Having a gaming PC in the house is still useful for me. I use it to remote play games that don’t run great on the steam deck or eat too much battery. Like Starfield or Baldurs gate 3. Only issue is there is currently a gamma bug in remote play making everything dark. I hope valve fixes it soon.
