steamdeck

I purchased a brand new Xbox wireless controller. It paired with my steam deck easily but it will not connect and the “X” button on the controller keeps flashing. I’ve hit every button on the controller and can’t get it to actually connect. I’ve also rebooted the steam deck....

Now that I have my new Oled, I’m wondering what would be good video settings for BG3. I can set the preset to ultra and it seems to offer no performance problem, but I wonder if vsync fsr2 etc should be set? How can I get the most amazing BG3 setup?

Wanted to post my experience so far for others that are in the same niche as me, as I didn’t find much on it looking around....

For anyone who did not think about it beforehand and struggled as me. You can run KDE Connect on your machine and send keyboard and mouse inputs using kde connect. Almost 0 input lag. So you can do all you need....

Hello community!...

Probably helpful for Steam Deck OLED users or for people with external HDR displays....

With the use of Heroic game launcher, I’m wondering if you all preferred to play your GOG version of games over the Steam version. I can go either way but sometimes I pause and think, having two copies of the same game, one on steam and one on GOG, which one would give me a better gaming experience. For example, I may choose...

I was wondering how many of you out there who ordered the OLED model on release already got their Deck? Mine is stuck at “packaged items” for a couple of days and I am starting to get anxious when I get it.

Hello all, I’m trying to find out what games are highlighted on the steam deck oled gif that you can see on the main page of steam. One is Armored Core 6, but the other two?

Is it me or is this worth playing in the shadows format over the regular color version? I am at the bat cave and some aspects don’t show on the bat cave monitor, like Bruce is looking up at the screen and talking while reference stuff from the screen but it’s just grey to me. It looks like somethings should be there but...

Was wondering what the status of everyone’s OLED order is. When did you place your order and what is the current status of it?

The recent 3.5 update broke my headphone mic settings. I use a LCD Steam deck with a splitter cable everything worked fine till this update. I tried everything but nothing seemed to work…

hurts… but if i were to upgrade, i doubt it’s worth it. a bigger oled screen? nah. slightly better performance? no. it’s probably not worth it.

Updated my dock to the latest firmware today. It worked fine until I restarted my deck to try and resolve some game streaming issues. After restarting the deck, the dock no longer works. When it is first connected to power, the ethernet lights strobe then go dark. Ethernet isn’t being detected by the deck and neither is the...

What are some good multiplayer games to play on the steam deck? They can be online or offline games.

I’m sure this has been asked, but is there a way to lock specific games onto my home? I want to keep games I usually play there and hide things I either don’t, or that I tested once and opted not to keep playing. Using the “hide” option feels a bit too aggressive for that since I’m happy with them being in my library,...

I’ve been trying to sell my deck (64gb, like new, only 3 months old) for a couple weeks now. Marketplace, Swappa, OfferUp… But I get zero bites. It’s in excellent condition, with screen protector and no controller drift and I’ve priced it lower than others I’ve seen sell. I have pictures of all sides, with it on and...

RetroDECK 0.7.4b - Released!...

Just for info for someone who are using distrobox and tempting to update to 3.5.5. it looks like this update cause a conflict between flatpak and distrobox (reddit.com/…/flatpak_update_issue_in_35_preview_r…) and the best solution is purge the rootless podman, uninstall it and install it back. But, the thing is it does not...

I’ve been reading reviews and when it comes to the HDR feature, nobody really says much more than “It does HDR!”...

Still seems to be available now (not going to order a second one to confirm 😂)...

Edit: to this rant because I think they deserve it. I’m guessing they did have a ton out bot orders that they cancelled because they are back in stock and my order went through....

Got one!

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....

RetroDECK 0.7.3b - Released!...
