Steam Deck

SteamDeckHQ has also posted a first look, and praises how well the game runs.

The game unfortunately does require a PlayStation network account.

The game has the same PlayStation overlay that's incompatible with Linux, but when playing on Steam Deck the overlay is automatically disabled. Desktop Linux players will need to use the SteamDeck=1 %command% launch option to disable the overlay.

Here's a link to the game's store page

And here's a link to their X post with the animated Steam Deck art.

I use Youtube on deck in Firefox with youtube.com/tv in kiosk mode. Works really well, but I noticed even when I have a bigger screen connected I can only watch videos in up to 720p. It doesn't let me select anything higher. Is that a YTTV thing or is there a problem in my setup?

Please mention whether you're on stable, beta, or a different update channel. There's a good chance most bugs on the stable update channel have been fixed already, so anyone on the beta update can let people know if the bug they're facing is already fixed.

I had been using the original version of this intro on my steam deck for a long time, but the background noise of the different shades of black always bugged me, so I removed it. I also thought the video was a bit blurry, so I upscaled every frame manually using waifu2x. It's still not perfect, but looks way better on the OLED model than it did before in my opinion.

Plucky Squire review by SteamDeckHQ

I'm a little bit bummed by the performance and RAM glitch on this one. I'm still excited for it though! I'll wait a little bit for a patch, even though is totally playable at launch.

Story mode should be playable, there is a option to disable BattlEye in Rockstar Launcher

This is a counterpoint to this article posted here a few days ago.

Issues with kernel anti-cheat are the biggest barrier to linux gaming being able to play everything, so it's easy to get overly excited about changes to how windows implements it hoping for an improvement. However that last article was probably unrealistically positive about the changes, and this article probably has a much more realistic perspective on what the changes will actually mean.

Is it kinda just common for games to crash to "desktop" on Deck? Had mine about 2 weeks, no matter if it's big, small, or dolphin emulated, games will randomly crash on me, and the Deck restarts itself.

If there's any known general settings that can stop the crashing, that'd be great.

He specifically cited bad battery life on the ROG Ally and Lenovo Go, saying that getting only one hour of battery life isn't enough. The Steam Deck (especially the OLED model) does a lot better battery wise, but improving power efficiency should really help with any games that are maxing out the Deck's power.

I've had multiple occurrences of this lately with programs installed as flatpaks, such as Audacity (audio editor). The updates section might list 3.6.0 --> 3.5.4̀ for a program.

Whenever this happens I usually manually exclude any version downgrades and only upgrade the rest.

¿Can this happen due to security issues? ¿Or because the higher version has become incompatible with something else on my system?

WebReady is a simple tool for converting videos to animated webp images and thus allowing users to use them as animated wallpapers for KDE. The tool is primarily designed for steam deck, but works perfectly on any KDE powered desktop.

I have a spare charger (uk plug I think?) that I cannot use. I would rather not throw it out, so if someone wants to pay for shipping (from Switzerland) I will send it.

I would also swap it for an EU charger if anyone has a spare.

On sale until September 26th

This was previously available as a opt in beta, but is now available for everyone.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't buy FO4 goty from GOG instead of steam? You can still customize controls perfectly fine and all the mods/expansions still work? It won't play any differently to a steam bought game except it will be in non-steam games?

I know games usually work fine, but I haven't bought a new game from GOG since I got my steamdeck, so I'm nervous.
