Steam Deck update has fixes for performance issues in long sessions and Remote Play Together
23 Nov 2024 at 8:13 pm UTC

Okay… now I've hit a serious issue. After the update every the internal controller disconnects all the time. Only A/B and the D-pad react after some time and I have to press B repeatedly to eventually get back to the menu to be able to restart. The other choices is holding the power button for a few seconds to open the power menu.

The virtual keyboard and both Steam and … button stop working completely. The controller section of the settings menu displays no controller connected.

I'm not sure if switching to unstable helps; the last time I did that something in the Steam folder got messed up and I could no longer log on in Game mode.

Quoting: PhlebiacSeems like an odd thing to specify "four", unless that's a really common thing?
Looks like four seasons implies four DLCs in a season pass.

Devs of chill arcade freeriding game SNØ: Ultimate Freeriding use the Steam Deck as their performance target

I'm not sure if the random terrain is a good idea.

I've probably mentioned it too many times, but I like to play Grand Mountain Adventure. It has fixed scenarios, the camera isn't that close and there are objectives and (semi) hidden things to discover on the mountains. Some of the objectives are based on trick score, some on speed or navigation of complicated terrain. And you can always rewind time when something does not work as you want – a trial gets reset to the start while you can jump back in time in a finer granularity in free play.

SNØ (at least the demo) seems to be completely focused on tricks – I'm not sure if there is enough variation.

I've been haunted by the crash after hibernate issue in different forms for too long, so I'm not keen on any driver experiments.

Quoting: Liam DaweProbably as a result of the recent changes. Lots of games were hit by this.
Could you please tell them that there are people in Germany that think that the game looks interesting, but are blocked from the Steam page unless they fill in that form?

The worst thing about the real-release-premium is that there are enough people that choose to pay it, making it a guarantee that we will be seeing it even more in the future.

Quoting: JarmerDoes anyone have a link to the additional module with more buttons and how that would connect to this and how it would be used and what it looks like? I couldn't find it on their site.
I don't think there is even a mockup visible. In the news section, you can see an announcement with a picture of a pcb.

This has been my biggest disappointment of the week. When I saw the start of the title, I thought that it was a release announcement. I've been waiting for the game for a long time. :unsure:
