Until today I had Arc Raiders running on my Steam Deck using the settings most have suggested. I launch it using Proton 10.0-3 and it has been working beautifully. Arc Raiders updated today and since that has happened it has gone back to the AMD error and black screen. I've tried launching from Proton Experimental with no success as well. any suggestions or has anyone else experienced this today?

Curious for all Deck users here, how do you see the Steam Machine working with your Deck in your home setup? Do you see it more as a console or a gaming PC?

For example:

  1. Will you use the Steam Machine as a living room console plugged to your TV, and eventually streaming to your Deck while you're elsewhere?
  2. Or will you use the Machine as a gaming PC at your desk, with plugged mouse and keyboard?

Really curious about your plans to be honest. I'm trying to understand whether or not buying it makes sense when you can "just" dock your Deck. But I'm also planning on ditching my XBox Serie S... but the Deck doesn't have official Netflix/Youtube apps so it wouldn't be as friendly for the gf. Any thoughts on your future setup?

Just got my steam yesterday and I was wondering if you can play Netflix and Crunchyroll on the steam deck?

Previously Enjoyed Games: Hades, Slay the Spire, Monster Train, Into the Breach, FTL, XCOM 2, Darkest Dungeon, Slay the Spire-likes in general.

Preferred Genres: Turn-based tactics and strategy, deckbuilders, roguelites/roguelikes, games where the focus is on interesting decisions rather than reflexes. I’m especially into anything that works well in shorter “runs” but can still be played for hours.

Budget: No strict limit, but I tend to lean towards reasonably priced / indie games or stuff that often goes on sale rather than full-price AAAs.

Other Notes: I’ll be spending basically a whole day tomorrow on planes and in airports, so I’m looking for games that: • Work fully offline • Have readable UI on the Deck • Are comfortable on a controller-only setup • Don’t destroy the battery too quickly

I’ve recently been playing a bunch of tactical / deckbuilding stuff on my Deck - including a small project I’m tinkering with myself called Ashes of Morgravia -so I’m kind of in that mindset right now. I’ll probably throw in a pic of my Deck running it, but I’m mainly looking for other people’s recommendations in a similar space.

Looking for: • Tactical / strategy games that feel great on Steam Deck • Deckbuilder + tactics hybrids • Or any “just one more run” games that can carry me through a long travel day

Thanks in advance!

After seeing the steam machine i think i might cop so i have my games at home and on the go! I'm new to PC gaming so this would be a perfect setup for me but would my save files transfer over though?

The most exciting thing to me out of today’s hardware announcement was how VALVE has apparently made a translation layer on the new VR device to run games & software on their ARM powered device.

This to me means that we now have a Linux OS that is ARM compatible.

We also have a translation layer akin to proton (FEX?) that is apparently capable at playing these games on an ARM device.

Anybody who got on the MacBooks ever since M1 came about knows how amazing ARM can be, a device that can be powerful while being extremely efficient. This is the future.

This is also why the AppleTV device is interesting, Apple has an ARM based device with Apple Arcade support targeting living rooms. At the same time getting AAA games developed for iPhone chipsets, the same chipsets used in their TV devices.

I think there’s a good chance that a steam deck sequel could be ARM based. I don’t know how long this could be with most of the public expecting a Steam Deck 2 by 2027/8. But it’s possible, and I’m probably more excited and connecting dots that aren’t there.

However, ever since I got the steam deck all I’ve really wanted it to be was more efficient. But I thought ARM for gaming was still a long way off. But here we are.

Thoughts?

From what I understand, the GabeCube comes with a dedicated WIFI 6 antenna for SteamController 2. But the SteamDeck also comes with wifi6.

Is it likely that, with an update, you could connect your current SteamDeck through the controller puck without needing to stream through your main wifi?

edit: I absolutely fumbled this post. It's the SteamFrame adapter that does wifi6, not the puck. I really meant to ask if you could use the SteamDeck with that like the headset.

“Obviously the Steam Deck's not our focus today, but the same things we've said in the past where we're really interested to work on what's next for Steam Deck… the thing we're making sure of is that it's a worthwhile enough performance upgrade to make sense as a standalone product,” Griffais explained.

“We're not interested in getting to a point where it's 20 or 30 or even 50% more performance at the same battery life. We want something a little bit more demarcated than that. So we've been working back from silicon advancements and architectural improvements, and I think we have a pretty good idea of what the next version of Steam Deck is going to be, but right now there's no offerings in that landscape, in the SoC [System on a Chip] landscape, that we think would truly be a next-gen performance Steam Deck.”

Griffais' comments might come as a disappointment to some given the capabilities of the aging Steam Deck. The handheld launched in February 2022, with the OLED model coming out November 2023. Steam Deck will soon be four years old, and while there is a long list of Steam Deck-verified games to play, it does struggle to run some modern PC games well. Indeed, in September 2023, Pierre-Loup Griffais told The Verge that the next Steam Deck was at least a couple of years away, which had some hoping for the next version in time for the holidays this year. Clearly, that won't happen.

Now the question is I always wanted to get a Steam Deck but hold off because it's like 4 years old now so it's it still worth?
