I’ve got a substantial library of games on GOG and Epic that I wanted to play on the Steam Deck, and I’ve used the Heroic Launcher with some success to access a lot of my libraries on those two platforms, but managing the compatibility per game is a bit frustrating and sometimes after an update things break....
I have found myself using my Steam Deck for everything. I sit at that old desk and play Counter-Strike when I’ve got time. I use it for paperwork as well....
A while back my son was playing Sea of Thieves quite successfully on the Steam Deck. He was away for a while so I uninstalled it to save some space. Now he’s back and wanted to play again so I reinstalled the game. Only now it doesn’t ever load to the menu successfully. It starts to load, shows the wheel in the bottom right,...
Anybody know of an alarm clock or timer I can put on my Steam Deck? I play during my lunch break and would like to set an alarm when it is time to wrap up and go back to work....
i realize this is sort of an oddball post, but thought I would put it out there to see if anyone has any advice… I posted a couple of weeks ago, requesting advice for a controller… after reading the many responses (thanks to the community!) I went with the cheapo $30 8bitdo wireless option. I finally got my dock for the deck...
Every time I’m in Desktop Mode this pops up. It seems to be spawned by Steam Proton, though I’m not sure why since it happens even before I launch a game or software. Can’t figure out what exact process is running it. Hitting install either fails checksum, or nothing happens after it finishes the download, and then it just...
I personally don't have a Steam Deck, but imo I think it can easily replace my phone (in my case) with just Windows 11 Subsystem for Android and a PowerBank. Also, I'm pretty retarded regarding this topic, so I answers for this. Thanks in advance!
I’ve had a few issues with the discover store only working sporadicly in desktop mode amd when looking it up found ne good solutions that don’t require a system restart or work reliably....
Just curious what do people have in mind, when they say a game is “working great” or “perfectly”. I believe I’m in the minority, but I just can’t enjoy a game under 45 FPS, or if the resolution has to be under 720p and the UI/text is all blurry because of it. Perhaps it’s because I’m used to playing mainly on PC....
Since I got the deck the left thumbstick always felt a little funny - almost “static”? Right stick is a bit better but similar. It’s very unlike other controllers like ps5 and Xbox gamepad. It doesn’t have any functional implication at all - just sensual....
I’ve done a ton of testing trying to find PS2 , GameCube and PS3 era sports games. Most of the PS2 and GameCube stuff works just fine but I wanted to pass on what I’ve seen on PS3 and Switch. All of these games work perfect (IMO) right out of the box and no tinkering is required to get great video and audio. Feel free to add...
Lol I was in a panic as I figured it would just work haha and nope, definitely not haha. But your tips eventually got it to relent and finally pair, I appreciate it so much....
I recently started playing Dyson sphere program on my PC again and I get that lovely feeling of being drawn into the game for hours. But since it’s a very mouse-centric game, I don’t want to play it on a steam deck. And because I sit at a desk all day for work, I’d rather lay down on the couch and use my deck instead....
Hey everyone! I just got a deck and am looking to get a bunch of accessories, the main one being a dock. The Deck really intrigued me as a all-in-one device for both gaming and software development on the go....
Does anybody know how I can activate Maliit (Plasma’s default on-screen keyboard) under SteamOS Desktop Mode? I have the impression that all my typos are because Steam’s provided keyboard (STEAM+X) is not registering key presses correctly and I want to try an alternative....
Is anyone else’s Deck not rumbling much at all? When it comes to things like using the trackpads, the haptics work as expected for me. But in terms of game rumble, it feels like the haptics motors are dying or something. They rumble ever-so-slightly. Nearly imperceptible. For instance, a game like Hades. When using an external...
