Quoting: PixelDropSweet, mine got moved from Q4 to Q3 too. I'm a 64GB model since I'm okay with slower load times off SD cards.

I did not diging my self, but on "on deck" podcast they mentioned problem with shader cache. Every game have it on main storage, so internal SSD can be full even when you does not use it for games. It can be solved with symlink to SD card...

Quoting: RandomizedKirbyTree47I don't see why the game library is an obstacle to selling Steam Decks in brick-and-mortar retailers. A bigger issue might be that game stores could be reluctant to stock a console that doesn't allow you to buy games from those same retailers.

It's allowed, box game with steam key are think, bux mostly they are colectibles...

Quoting: tfkWhy is OneShot native but unsupported?

On ProtonDB is mentioned problem with bundled library librt.so.1. Solution is easy, you just need remove it, so game is forced to use one from system. I thing this is probable reason for unsuported.

Quoting: Craggles086Is there any way of playing Counter Strike solo?

Would love a single player campaign mode.

Only thing I had against it.

Counter-Strike: Condition Zero has single player campaign.

Quoting: GuestI'm not sure I get why they might be sold out already. Wouldn't people buy a replacement battery if the existing one....needed replacing? If they already need replacing, that's seriously poor quality.

And if people are buying them pre-emptively, then again that's not a good sign of quality. To me it's a huge "stay away from this hardware" warning sign. I don't actually think the hardware is quite that terrible though, so I'm left confused.

They get it right now, probably with very limited quantity.Some repair shops maybe want to get it just because they can and so iFixit is sold out even with small demand.
I assume that Valve think there is no need for more replacement battery and prioritize new units and ifixit just get some leftovers.
Reason why battery is now and not with initial release is probably just because they don't have enough of them.
Or maybe you can be right, but sold out right now mean nothing.

Quoting: CreakI find the score pretty harsh actually compared to other devices...

• iPhone 13 Pro: 6/10
• Xbox Series X: 7/10
• PS5: 7/10
• PS4: 8/10
• Switch: 8/10

So the Steam Deck is as repairable as the Xbox Series X and the PS5, less than the Switch or a PS4, but a bit more than an iPhone 13 Pro.

I think it's pretty obvious that it isn't right. How do you get parts for all these devices? I tried for a PS4 and it is not easy at all, you got to ship parts directly from China and you're not even sure it's going to be compatible! And look at how difficult it is just to get into an iPhone! And the Steam Deck gets barely better than an iPhone! On the other hand, Valve has been open from the start to the idea of opening and repairing the Steam Deck, they sent the blueprints so anybody can print whatever they want, and they even offer parts now.

I must say, I'm a bit disappointed by iFixit here, it doesn't seem fair to me.

I don't think they use accessibility of parts as input.

Some missing parts are so random... so why they are missing? My guess is supply issues, with priority for new units...

Couple 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...

I think Valve hate logistics with parts :grin: So they outsource it. Valve is happy, iFixit is happy, customers are happy.
And nintendo ... hate it because we can see how it can be done :-D
