Quoting: easbarbaElden Ring is running fine with great FPS on AMD/Mesa but all enemies but bosses/sellers are invisible.

I will just wait it out.

That's a feature, to make it even more challenging...

Quoting: ArtenCouple of my natives games are unsuported. Surviveing mars for example. It run on my OS, so what is different? Only one think on my mind is gamescope...

They're working on better support for Surviving Mars e.g.

When this happens, the embargo on all coverage also ends. Valve said they sent out a Steam Deck to "roughly 100 media outlets" (including yours truly).

:heart:

Quoting: denyasis

Quoting: EikeI would agree, but why is Outlast, which I played through natively, appearing on my "unsupported" list?

Native (and even "Platinum on ProtonDB/AppDB") does not equate verified for the Deck.

That wasn't the question. Like, not at all.
There's not only Verified and Unsupported, but also Playable - which Outlast for sure was for me.

Quoting: denyasisI doubt many games were made with a 7"-9" screen and controller only support in mind. In fact, I'd imagine some simply will never work by design, regardless of Linux compatibility.

Playable games with readibility problems and such fall into the category Playable, not Unsupported.

Specifically, I was asking about the game Outlast, which is also on consoles, including Switch version, so we can be sure it can work with controllers and on a small screen good enough to be, well "Playable".

Quoting: SalvatosPSA: You can hover a game and click the "Steam Deck Compatibility" button to see loosely why it has the current status.

Thanks!
This shows "Valve is working on support of this game for Steam Deck".
Makes a lot more sense.

BTW, checkmydeck has the info when hovering over the right column:

Quoting: jordicomaUnsupported? This has more sense than on spanish "No compatibles" (no compatible), as many of these games works on my linux, even some are native.

"Unsupported" does not mean "does not work."

They're literally saying it means "currently don't function on Steam Deck", on the page Liam linked.

Maybe unsupported only means that you do not have any support from the publisher ?
I agree not compatible is terrible.
The problem is that in this list, you have both : not compatibles, and compatibles but unsupported.

Unsupported reasons generally the following:

1. "Valve is still working on adding support for this game on Steam Deck" - When you see this it usually refers to Proton features being worked on. In most cases this refers to mfplat support. There's a good chance these will work eventually.

2. "This game's anti-cheat is not configured to support Steam Deck" - Not Valve's problem, fire ze missiles at the dev/publisher.

3. "This game is unsupported on Steam Deck due to use of an unsupported anti-cheat" - Don't expect these to work any time soon.

4. "Steam Deck does not support VR games" - I mean, you can in theory get VR working on the deck, but the experience will be terrible.

5. Games that fail to start at all. Tried to find an actual example of this, but gave up.

I would agree, but why is Outlast, which I played through natively, appearing on my "unsupported" list?

Quoting: TheRiddickGiven that feral games get removed off steam once license expires... I wouldn't be buying from them anyway.

They're not removed. You can still download them, you just can't buy them anymore. So it makes full sense to buy them before. I got some games that got "removed", and... why should I care?!?

There's no official GOG support for SteamDeck. But since the device has an open architecture, as we understand, you can install Windows and as such also run GOG games.

... or run your native Linux games from GOG on it?!?

Quoting: EikeDo we already no if "recommended_runtime: proton-stable" would result in ordinary Linux PCs using Proton by default as well?

We don't know for sure that they won't do that in the future, but there's no compelling reason to. That kind of decision for normal PCs would be down to the developer.

I think I would do that as Valve. Give the best default experience, allow to override.
(Ok, they would need two levels of override, devs/publishers and users. Might complicate things.)

Yet another very interesting thing, also for Windows only gamers! "requires_internet_for_singleplayer"!

Not enough to stop a game getting Verified, but it does show up as a warning in the store.

Yeah, I meant, many people, including me, including many non-Deck and non-Linux gamers, are annoyed by that stuff, so it's a useful information for many people.

Quoting: CatKillerAlso of interest is that HL2 gets the recommended_runtime: native attribute, unlike Portal 2 (currently).

Where can I look up such information?

Steamdb has it listed in the big information table.

Steam Deck Compatibility section at the bottom of this: https://steamdb.info/app/220/info/ [External Link]

Thanks!

*edit* Interestingly, the first game I looked up (Life is Strange 2) does not have a "recommened_runtime" set...
