Proton Hotfix from Valve gets The Witcher 3 next-gen DX12 working on Steam Deck

Quoting: mahagrI tried. It took forever to load into the game. It crashed after a minute of gameplay. I gave up. I will wait...

Does anyone know how to enable raytracing and DLSS in the game? They were grayed out.
It still crashes immediately for me on my desktop, even with Proton Hotfix enabled.

We may get a Steam Controller 2, plus fun updates coming to Steam Deck

Quoting: DrNickI've got three original Steam Controllers as well. Managed to get a friend in the states to pick up two and ship them up to Canuckistan for me. Cost many Kopeks, but it was worth it. One controller is beginning to wear out, so hopefully this means the other two will last until the new revision comes out.

Personally I hope v2 is just the Deck controls without the screen.
I've got two, one for my family room and one for my bedroom. As someone who has hand issues and uses a trackball instead of a mouse, the steam controller has been great for me when it comes to certain games. If it had a right stick and a d-pad, it would've been perfect for every game, so I'm 100% on board for a controller with all the Steam Deck layout.

System76 tease the new Launch Heavy keyboard

Quoting: TermyI don't really get those 95% keyboards - i want full size for a reason, those 1-2 saved centimeters won't hurt me, less keys will though. Especially if we have QMK or other fully customizable solutions like here, where you can remap 'useless' keys.
And i really don't like the 'integrated' arrowkeys either...
Aaand (just to keep on rambling ;) ) i really got to love the knob on my Q6, so that is a sadly missing thing, too. ^^

Other than that: the more open keyboards, the better! And size matters, so go for everything countering that stupid TKL-Trend ;P
That's what I was thinking, albeit with fewer words. 😆 It's close but still not a full size keyboard.

Wow! If this GPU is even slightly competitive, the price blows Nvidia out of the water.

Valve fix new EA app in Proton Experimental for Linux and Steam Deck

Quoting: iWeaker4You
Quoting: LanzAmazing that EA quality control allowed it to ship while breaking Proton/Steam Deck.
Because it app is targeted for Windows, not Wine / Proton
And that concerns me a bit because we might always have a moving target with supporting Windows games, especially if Microsoft ever makes a big platform change. I can only hope that, as steam deck numbers continue to rise, more game companies will make supporting Linux a priority, even if it's not their top priority.

Great smaller and casual games for the Steam Deck

I hardly ever use my Steam Deck for big AAA games. That's what my desktop is for. With the big games, I want my ultrawide screen, sub-woofer for good bass and as much power as possible for high fps. With my Steam Deck, I can finally get around to going through my back catalog of indie games and emulate old games. I'm honestly loving it.

Quoting: TermyJust bought a GuliKit King Kong 2 controller, but as i still have some issues with it (apparently the first one to have those issues, as always...) i'll keep my xbox one controller in ;D
This is my first time hearing about it. What kind of issues do you have?

AMD to fully reveal next-gen AMD Radeon RDNA 3 in November

Quoting: SilverCodeI think that them putting "energy-efficient" in their announcement is a poke at the new nvidia cards. I'm just hoping they also poke fun at nvidia's price and don't try gouge the consumers.
Honestly, if they can do that, it's a huge win for them. Even if they have to shave profit a bit, they'll sell so many more GPUs. If they play their cards right, one day a mid-range AMD card will take the place of the GTX 1060 at the top of Steam's most-frequently-used GPU list.

UNCHARTED is great on Steam Deck! Here's how to fix it on Linux desktop

I was happy someone found a fix so quickly last night because my daughter wanted to watch me play. It worked well streaming it to my TV via Steam Link.
