I ended up getting it to take advantage of the discount xD. The discount was also the same with or without the keyboard, so didn't get it as to not paying so much now, hoping they will eventually sell it separately.

This really tickles my fancy... but I need a better excuse to purchase it. Maybe I should shell my T480s?

How easy would it be to install other distros on it? The available selection is not really up my alley :/

Quoting: ArehandoroLast night I tried the game on the Deck, connected to the TV, and until FSR 2.2 comes out I will still play on my desktop. There was a weird granular effect that made the experience rather annoying. It was also quite late and having to adapt to the controller was not a fun thing to do.

I've noticed that on my desktop, where things randomly become sort of grainy, like a bit of old style film... I actually kind of liked the effect, so kept playing haha.

When reading that the best way to play it on AMD is to use Vulkan, and one would think that's the case for Linux especially... but still it has big graphical issues with Vulkan... kind of sad. Still an annoyingly fun game. Still need to figure out where the Enlarge / Reduce spell is for my Duergar...

Interesting! I did not see that issue on desktop. The original Mass Effect had that grainy effect, and was lovely. The effect on the Deck was magnified by 10 at least xD

Quoting: GuestI have had so many mechanical, UI, quest, and dialogue bugs

This. As much as I love the game, the bugs are extremely annoying. One really has to save every few minutes, just so one can reload if one runs into a game-breaking issue...

Huh, the only bugs I've ran into so far with 6-ish hours of play, is graphical black boxes that kept appearing (this is on my desktop with 7900 XT).

Granted, I lost an hour-ish of play because I ran into a room where a bunch of traps blew me up... and hadn't saved, since newer games tend to autosave every five steps... I need to get back into the habit of saving all the time again.

Pretty much my experience, too. Also with the traps xD

Quoting: ArehandoroSomething that annoys me, though, how can I disable the version number to show on screen all the time? Couldn't find the toggle in the menus.

There was a small hotfix for the game itself yesterday and though I didn't play much, it seemed a little more stable on DX11 as in I had no crashes there (Vulkan still a mess and now I can't even get to the main menu with it) and is pulling almost 100 watts less on my desktop.

Roll checks seem to be VERY high since that update. I haven't failed a single one since. The game version doesn't appear on screen now :)

Oh nice, I hope that did remove the number. As for dice rolls, maybe you're seeing the effects of the default karmic dice setting :P

I turned that off since it works against you too by applying to combat/NPCs as well. I'd rather deal with actual rolls than the game trying to weigh it in or out of favor.

Good point. I'll have a look :)

The first and most important thing: right now it appears you're going to want Proton Experimental set on it. You can install it from your Steam Library, and then go into the game's Properties -> Compatibility -> Tick the box and select Proton Experimental from the drop-down that appears. Otherwise, you're likely to see a bunch of crashing issues.

Even then the game crashes so often, especially alt tabbing. It has about a 50/50 chance of crashing on startup. Yes, using DX11 mode, but it doesn't seem any more stable than Vulkan for me. Add the Syncing bug that prevents any saving/loading which lost me several hours of progress and I'm frustrated. This is why I usually wait a while instead of buying games day one but this one made me weak in that regard >>

I have played over 8h already, using Vulkan, and I haven't had a single crash, or any issues at all, yet. Using AMD for CPU (5600x) and GPU (rx 5700), on Proton Experimental and with good performance at 1440p with everything on High and Ultra. The launcher didn't give me any issues yet, but can be safely skipped with --skip-launcher

The only thing I haven't tried is multiplayer, so can't say anything about performance/issues there.

Something that annoys me, though, how can I disable the version number to show on screen all the time? Couldn't find the toggle in the menus.

As for the game itself... so far, I'm really loving it :D

Edit: Not saying this doesn't happen to people, just my experience.

Edit 2: Actually, I had a similar experience with Cyberpunk. Whilst everyone would have crashes and glitches, I barely experienced any of them.

Edit 3: I checked the FPS, and it's between 50-60 in the wilderness, and 60-70 in interiors.
