Steam Deck Verified has issues, Grand Theft Auto V edition
13 Mar 2022 at 6:02 am UTC Likes: 3

Quoting: Liam Dawe
Quoting: MohandevirJust read a comment from a Windows user that Vampire Survivors has the same issue on Windows desktop. It seems it's not Deck specific.

Have you contacted the devs?
The developer didn't verify it, Valve did.
Yeah... Sorry. Proton support is on Valve.

What I had in mind is the fact that performance wise, it seems similar on all OS. It may be why it still got the Steam Deck Verified tag, since the problem doesn't seem to be isolated to the Steam Deck.

Just my two cents.

Windows drivers roll out for Steam Deck but Valve won't support it

Even if I wanted, I wouldn't be able to install Windows. There is so much useless stuff that MS is force feeding us, on that OS... Made by Microsoft, for Microsoft.

"All you have to do is edit the registry here, disable that, edit that thing, return in the registry, download and install drivers". And all the while reboot, reboot, reboot! :sick:

I have to put 30-45 mins just to hack and configure through the OS to make it run like I want and I didn't include the initial update process... "I'm to old for that sh&t!" :wink:

"When it comes to Linux, 10 mins, fully updated and Steam is fired...

And they say Linux is a rabbit hole... :huh:

That's when I realized that Windows wasn't for me anymore.

Quoting: dindonValve is providing an official way to install Windows as well as put SteamOS back. The dual-boot wizard seems to also be in the work. Hopefully Windows users will also get the new SteamOS interface on Windows as a Big Picture mode replacement. That's plenty of support.
any steam client can run the new interface its just a matter of tweak a few config files, people already figured out how.
Yeah, I tried it. It's not yet ready to be a replacement to the actual BPM, imo. It's windowed only and the resolution at 1080p is meh (720p stretched)... It also felt sluggish. It's still a beta for good reasons. I will wait for an official BPM update. This said, the Deck UI is pretty nice.

I hope they stick with that and don't cave to any pressure. Keep devel and support focused on SteamOS and FOSS so we all benefit in the long run.
I hope Microsoft doesn't a$k Valve to reconsider
In exchange for Gamepass support on SteamOS?

Quoting: spacemonkeyI am curious about the performance difference. But no matter the results, I will never ever install Windows.
If they think the autonomy is an issue with SteamOS, considering AMD FSR baked in and tweaks at kernel level to optimize it, they are in for a major let down, imo. They will get the worst of both world, on that aspect.

Lol! It brings back fond memories of my original NES!
