Quoting: Philadelphus

Quoting: shadow1w2Glitch wise, how bout the battery levels?
Mine still randomly shuts off at 30% or more and requires retraining, especially if I let it idle in sleep for too long like a day.
Maybe I just need to clean install my os and start fresh.
Battery itself is still operating at full or near full capacity it's just irritating.

Gyro and overall analog configurations wise, I'd like to see more advanced control options.
A lot of these modes dont match what I want and I'd like to set it up raw one to one input sometimes.
For a game that aims where you hold for example or flight games.
Also I might be the only one who wants to tie two flight sticks into one virtual pad.
If only there was a plugin system for crazy stuff.

Hmm, a bad battery cell, perhaps? The Macbook I had for my PhD started doing something similar after a few years: it reported full battery capacity, but would randomly shut off if the battery got down below ~40% or so. From something I read that was suggested as the reason. Basically the battery thinks it's alright but doesn't have the capacity it thinks it does.

Sounds like issue with capacity controller on the battery itself.

Quoting: JarmerI *almost* never buy anything in ea, but this dev is the rare exception. Just bought it and downloading now! They are so talented, and very much looking forward to where this goes. Plus: native linux!

+1 on that, I did back them up on the kickstarter after playing Star Traders and saw how complex their game mechanics are. I didn't get to the EA yet, but plan to soon.

Hm, I didn't saw any of those battery glitches. I'm running latest Steam OS on it. I sometimes had to restart it after being in sleep and recharging for long time, but this didn't happened to me for few months now.

I also see the battery discharging itself normally, no issue with it operating at full or near full capacity.

Maybe reporting those issues would be a good idea.

That is really great, because I knew that some games (Metro Exodus in my case) just don't handle gyro as mouse that great. It actually switches to keyboard + mouse, so the gyro is not usable together with strafing using left stick. This should solve the issue :-)

I don't understand why they just don't go with the same model as Unreal Engine has (maybe they have a new one now, I didn't check for some time) and if the game makes some amount of money, they need to pay from each sold copy. The installs amount seems really strange as a metric.

What a ride, I remember using Steam even on Windows and that's plenty of years ago.

Happy birthday Steam! I hope you will support Linux in future as you do now!

I'm playing almost entirely on Steam Deck, so I got used to Gamepad controls.

I noticed that this even influence how I'm choosing the games to play. If it's difficult to play it on Steam Deck controls, I just try it and go to another one. But I don't mind playing turn-based strategies on Steam Deck, the mouse emulation is usually enough to be able to play. :-)

Quoting: ridgeUltimately, a Steam exclusive sucks as much as an Epic exclusive.

I never heard about Steam doing exclusives, it's on developer/distributor to decide where they want to sell. In case of Epic they are forcing the developers/distributors to not sell anywhere else.

I'm now playing Warhammer 40k: Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters on Steam Deck, it is marked as unsupported (because of graphics settings), but with little tweaking it's completely playable.

I don't like Epic for how they view Linux and give no support (actually they do opposite). So I will not support them till they change this behavior (I already have plenty of games from GOG or Steam and not enough time to play them).

The exclusivity is also bad thing, but good move to give more to devs for some time. I wonder if the exclusivity is for 6 months or more.
