Quoting: CorbenFinally :D



Just took 8 years :woot:
Yeah, I dodged a major bullet on this one. Amid all the excitement with Steam Machines I had almost preordered The Witcher 3, and from gog.com no less, but somehow managed to hold off. As a reward, I got to buy the deluxe edition at -75% and soon(ish) I'll finally play it on Steam Deck.

Quoting: pbSounds pretty smart, the danger of bricking SD should be minimal.
Although not that great to the 64GB version users...
If they use OStree much like fedora silverblue then only the changes are written.
Only changes are downloaded, but both partitions need to be big enough to accommodate the full system.

Dying Light gets a cross-play update

How is the game on steam deck? Is it now possible to reassign controls? I played it years ago and it had only a few predefined controller schemes, but they were all awkward so I preferred playing with mouse+kb even on the couch. :unsure:

Quoting: GuestAwesome video.
Just something I noted some of the guys/gals, didn't know who Gaben even was, that people don't seem like "tech" people. Probably they are gonna use Steam Deck as it is and not switch the OS.
Apparently one of them was a wife of a guy who had gone skiing: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/t2fmg0/gaben_showed_up_at_my_house_and_delivered_my/hylsx25/ [External Link]

Valve adds official Steam Deck compatibility checker, 762 games Playable or Verified

Quoting: rustybroomhandleCould also be something like the game not supporting the Deck's weird aspect ratio.
I think these go into "playable", like Bejeweled 3: "This game doesn't support Steam Deck's native display resolution and may experience degraded performance"

I've been wondering for a while what #SteamDeckVerified_TestResult_SteamOSDoesNotSupport a.k.a. "Valve is still working on adding support for this game on Steam Deck" actually means. I've seen it with native games that work perfectly on SteamOS 2.0 + xbox360 controllers (like Ultimate Chicken Horse) as well as Proton games that have a platinum rating and comments saying it works out of the box (like TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2). All the while TY the Tasmanian Tiger (1) is in the verified group.

Valve gives SteamVR and Linux a little love in the latest update

Quoting: poisondIMHO standalone is just not there yet regarding hardware capabilities
Yes, that's why the device is not *here* yet. But I bet it's in the works. ;-)

I totally expect a standalone VR device from Valve, based on their experiences with Index and Deck, powered by SteamOS. :wub:
