steamdeck

Edit Sorry about the ugly word vomit from lemmy ripping out the video description on peertube, I didn’t know it was going to do that...

I don’t get it but for some reason the 3d open world multiplayer shooter with vehicles and long view distances that runs the best on the steam deck (other than a very graphically simple game like battlebit) is DayZ. I obviously haven’t tried every game out there though…...

Are there games out there similar to how the PSP and the 3/DS had local multiplayer? Can a emudeck emulate psp games and local multiplayer?

Are any windows users running their deck using the Big Screen mode of Steam and, if so, how is the experience?

I honestly don’t care about VR headsets or full-body tracking right now, but I would love to have a controller that’s split into two pieces like the wiimote/nunchuck duo or the joy-cons. I know Steam can connect to actual joy-cons, but the bluetooth range on official joy-cons is pretty bad, and I haven’t had any luck...

I really enjoyed the RE:2 remake but for some reason I haven’t been interested in getting over the difficulty curve of RE:4. RE:7 seems to be a much similar slow paced trip through an unfolding building and I wanted peoples opinions of the game and its current level of performance on the deck. I really enjoy 60 fps but I can...

Hello everyone....

Is the performance for docked games better in game mode or desktop mode? Let’s say CS:GO - would the performance (docked) be better in game mode (resolution set in properties to 1080p) or desktop mode (1080p)? Thanks....

I’ve collected tips from around the internet and rolled them up into a single post...

I need to use Microsoft Fonts since I use my Deck as a laptop replacement and I don’t know how to download/install MS Fonts (preferrably MS 10/11). I don’t have a MS image or CD to rip it from there :/

Hey all,...

If you are like me you want to be able to adjust your logitec/steelseries/asus (among other) mouse settings within the deck itself while in desktop mode....

For a little more context, I use an 8bitdo Ultimate Wireless controller. The one that works on the Switch, PC, and the Deck, with my Deck docked to a TV while playing for this to happen. Haven’t tried to recreate the issue undocked, because I don’t use the Nintendo layout undocked....

Hi there, I know this has been debated for a long time but just trying to understand if this level of backlight bleeding is normal. To add some context, this picture was taken in a dark room with the deck showing a completely black image. Thanks! steam deck picture in the dark

I just bought the 256GB Deck at the beginning of this month and it arrived on the 10th for $529. On the 13th they announced the OLED Deck and dropped the price of the 256GB Deck to $399....

So I recently moved from Stable to Beta to capitalize on Distrobox being added natively to the deck. I used Distrobox a lot late last year, then after I upgraded to a new SSD, went entirely fresh and stayed in Stable channel....

Do you need to leave the Steam Deck open to download something on i.e. Firefox in desktop mode or will it just download perfectly in standby mode? I know that it’s basically a PC and it should work but since I’m planning to get one I want to be sure.

So I’ve been looking for a nice relaxing and/or easy game. Placid Plastic Duck simulator is now on sale. Steam says it’s Playable, but it isn’t listed as having controller support. Does anybody have experience with this game on Deck? Does it require keyboard mapping? Is there a community layout?...

I’m looking into purchasing a steamdeck for my kids. Ican I attach my 2 old Xbox controllers to it, so the kids can play together?...

Hi all, I have an interesting issue that I’m hoping can be solved. I have a pair of Anker Soundcore A40 earbuds and they connect fine to the Deck. However the Deck doesn’t pick up on the microphone input at all - I’ve had a look under input devices and it fails to show up. Is there anything I can do (packages, drivers etc)...

Useful information about SD cards.

When I turn on my headphones, my oled deck turns on. Neat, but unwanted when I’m using my headphones for other things, like my zoom meeting for work causing Dave the Diver sounds to come out of my headphones. How can I turn that off without disabling Bluetooth every time I put the deck to sleep?

I’m trying to install vortext using steam tinker launch git, I have installed it via protonupQT and selected steam tinker launch as the compability tool, every time I click to install vortex it gets the the point of running the vortex installer and I get an error pop up saying something about it only working correctly on...
