A few ideas:

  • You may want to try disabling steam input for the game, and just using the game's built in controller support. Go to the game's page in your steam library, hit the gear, go to properties>controller, and then pick disable steam input. Then try the game and see if it works any better.

  • On PC if the game supports a walk keybind, with steam input enabled you could bind that to a back button, and then hold it down to walk.

  • You said you tweaked deadzones, but was that in the game's settings or in the steam input settings? You may want to try editing the other one (ie lowering the deadzone size in steam controller settings, adjusting the deadzone size/type in game, and adjusting the stick response curve in game)

  • You can also check community control profiles, the top ones may have a work around to fix it, or there's probably one that's simulating mouse/keyboard that would bypass this issue completely.

NonSteamLaunchers may be the easiest way, but it's no longer on the decky store due to some drama stuff. Instead you download the zip file, unzip it, and then place the whole folder into ~/homebrew/plugins. Restart steam and it should show up.

Otherwise I've used bottles on desktop to install it. Unfortunately Lutris installs are becoming increasingly unreliable in my experience.

It is rendering at a lower setting, and then using fsr/etc to upscale. It's basically necessary to run the game at all.

However the shaky frame rate issues are probably more an optimization issue, and will be hard (or impossible) to get rid of.

Thanks, posted this from my phone and didn't even notice the title issues.

 

Note: Steam Deck OLED may be out-of-stock intermittently in some regions due to memory and storage shortages. Steam Deck LCD 256GB is no longer in production, and once sold out will no longer be available.

Not a surprise, pretty much everyone assumed this was the reason.

Was looking at moving over, but among other things their mobile client is paid, and poorly reviewed. My main discord community is 1100 members, it's already going to be hard to get most of them to jump to another platform without it costing all of them for phone access.

It apparently used to say it on Valve's official FAQ for the steam deck, but it's since been rewritten to only mention the bios method. I found a 4 year old reddit post where they directly quoted the older version of the page.

I also confirmed on my Steam Deck that it works, I was able to get the double blue led flash (which confirms you've entered battery storage mode on the OLED) by plugging the deck in, turning it off, holding vol+ and QAM for 10 seconds, and then unplugging the Deck (while still holding the buttons)

He said it was the quick access button (QAM), which is the ". . ." button, not the select button. You can also see him pressing it in the video with his right thumb.

Also I finally found it, that button combo puts the Deck in battery storage mode.

Remnant 2 is acceptable, I played through it with a friend some months back. Can't use any framegen with it (even lsfg) or the input lag is horrible, and the framerate is never stable, but it was able to hold a shaky 30 for basically my whole playthrough, while looking decent.

Huh, is that a new shortcut, or did they get confused about the UEFI reset shortcut:

Hold down Volume Down+Power+⋯ ("Three Dots" button under the right touchpad) to reset the UEFI settings to their defaults (keep the two buttons other than Power held after the first blink of the LED: the LED will blink during the operation and stop once done, then release the buttons).

I've never heard of volume up+... as a functional shortcut before.

EDIT I found what it is, that button combo (followed by unplugging the Deck) forcibly puts the Deck into Battery Storage mode without being able to access the BIOS.

He then plugged it back in, exciting battery storage mode and booting the deck.

That's not a short, by definition.

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Thing is, you also called it "shorting" the battery. Usually a short is an unintended, unsustainable low resistance path.

While your body may technically close the circuit, calling it a short makes it sound like an actual electricution risk. That combined with the unclear "no issue" usage made it pretty confusing, I thought you had no idea what you were talking about until I saw your reply.

What clients ate people using for Matrix? The ones I've tried are usable but not user friendly enough for me to be able to move my whole community over.

 

Seems useful at times, I had a game start up in Chinese recently, and had to use Google translate from my phone camera to figure out how to change it back to English.

 

Article discusses the effect of rising hardware prices on the deck.

Some highlights:

How much worse has the pricing situation gotten for Valve since November? Superdata Research founder and SuperJoost newsletter author Joost van Dreunen suggested that the 512GB Steam Machine model would probably run $50 to $75 more than he expected when the Steam Machine was announced, and to expect a price “potentially $100+ above target” for the high-end 2TB model. That would mean a $599 to $629 price at the low-end and $849 to $899 for the high-end model, in his estimation.

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter agreed that, even with the additional component costs, Valve would likely “try to get it out at $599 or so for the 512GB version,” A starting price higher than that would mean “abysmal” sales, he added. “I think $700 is a death sentence and $1,000 is unsellable.”

I'd recommend reading the article though, it has a lot more of value than just those quotes. It goes on to talk about how the price increases will likely hurt valve more than traditional console makers, and how these increases will affect sales.

 

The Steam Machine and Steam Frame are probably delayed, but they still intend to release them in the first half of this year.

They said they planned to have a concrete launch window and pricing by now, but hardware pricing/shortages have made that hard to pin down.

 

To be honest, I expected RAM prices would push back the release date. But AMD would know more about than I would.

 

Also 36% of devs use generative AI, and 52% of companies use generative AI

 

It's really cool to see the shift towards Linux lately.

Options like heroic and mini galaxy are great for GoG support on Linux/Deck, but I'm really happy to see it getting official support too.

 

The plugin brings the excellent CopyParty, which is a file server program. After toggling it on from the Decky plugin, you can go to the provided IP address on any of your devices, enter the password, and access the Deck's files. You can manage files, upload or download files, and more. File transfer speeds are fast and resumable.

Here's the GitHub for the plugin, although for right now it's pretty bare on a description. For details one what all it can do, I'd recommend checking out the CopyParty link up above.
