It's so bad when you tab over and it drops all the frames. The Steam Deck interface is laggy as is, just gimme some normal ass jay pegs.

Bungie outright bans you if you attempt to run on Steam OS iirc.
On the Heroic Launcher, there are a few games that are just grayed out on EGS. I forget the exact reason, but they basically say "not allowed or not able to play on Deck". It doesn't even let you try downloading them.Seems like EA specifically went out of their way to block EA Sports WRC on steam deck. Via reddit:
Given reports I don't think it would run well and it's apparently bypassable but I've never seen a game actually do that before
Star Wars Battlefront 2, Squadrons, and Sims 4 if I remember right.
I'm curious if I downloaded EGS manually that I could download them that way, I just don't get why they're not allowed.
Battlefront 2 and Squadron both have single player modes, so it doesn't even seem like just an anti-cheat issue, and I'm pretty sure Sims 4 works fine through Steam.
Those 3 are all EA games that run through the EA launcher on Epic. I've not looked into it, but I imagine the issue is due to Heroic not being able to pass through a secondary launcher - I believe it's the same deal for Ubisoft games too.
Gotcha, that makes sense.
I would love it if Heroic Launcher eventually got updated with Origin and Ubisoft launchers. I've gotten both of them to work on their own, but it would be nice to have them all in the Heroic launcher just to make it easier.
The recent investigation findings are kind of amazing to me, a person who doesn't know anything about Wine or Linux. I didn't even know there was a function that attempts to convert/hash a filename into a DOS equivalent. Hopefully this results in something.
Wonder if it might explain why the bug doesn't appear in the other Yakuza remasters; just dumb luck that the filename hashes didn't conflict. lol
Anyone been able to get the freshly released decompiled Perfect Dark PC port running on Deck?

Can someone give me a better explanation of the shader pre-caching update? Like do they get overwritten or ever deleted?
I feel like every time I boot the deck it's doing something. Just now marvel midnight suns is downloading a 1.5gb file. Cult of the lamb was 187mb

Create an .m3u playlist and the game will switch discs automatically when needed.
It's way beyond my level of understanding, but hopefully it leads to a fix! There's (apparently) also an issue that Shinada gets stuck in his baseball outfit at some point, which is mentioned on that page and several times on ProtonDB as well. Perhaps it stems from a similar coding peculiarity.
Hey pals, is there any kind of simple solution for when a game on Steam doesn't have "Cloud Saves," as a listed feature? Booted something up recently and was surprised to see my save data didn't carry over automatically on Deck like it does with everything else.
I use Syncthing for this. Basically you designate a folder on your desktop and a folder on your Deck and say "keep these identical". Has worked great for emulator saves.
Ooh — is there a quick way to find my save file on PC? Not super familiar with navigating whatever directories Steam sets up
If it doesn't, just add .m3u as a supported file extension to the GameCube glob parser in Steam Rom Manager. I might have had to do that. Definitely worth it, though, and very easy to do.
That's assuming you're importing games individually through Steam Rom Manager. If using ES-DE, the .m3u should also work, but I don't have experience with that.
can usually google "<game name> steam save" to find the path. Usually two or three possible places they could be.
It varies game to game. I usually just google "[name of game] save location" and there will probably be a reddit thread or something.
Ah thanks folks! Unfortunately it's for an unreleased, embargoed game so I guess I gotta wait it out lmao
PCGamingWiki is a great resource for questions like this, and for configuration questions in general
You can probably figure it out with process of elimination. It's generally one of like three spots, just look up other game locations.
Also, regarding Syncthing, make sure you install it as a startup process (there are guides online) on the Deck so it's always running in the background. On desktop I have to launch it every time I want to sync the save, although there's probably a way to make it run all the time in the background.
Nice!

So it looks like a solution has indeed been found for Yakuza 5's issues, but the fix needs to be implemented in Proton (Wine?). I wonder what the timeline for that will be. We're so close to greatness!
This is so exciting!
It looks like there's a PR open to Wine already: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/4244
Just got Microsoft's xCloud service going on my deck. It's a bit of a process but it's cool being able to jump between my gamepass games on the X and the Deck.

This is amazing news. Love that people have been working away to try and resolve the isssue, 5 on Steam Deck will be amazing then they iron out those issues!
Don't think this will get merged anytime soon. Changing the hash function will break stuff in wine so it would need some messy work around to keep the old hash function around for some things and it will likely cause lots of issues for other things. Maybe a Proton specific fix for the Yakuza games makes more sense, like loading a different DLL by default
Fwiw, you can now also play a lot of PC gamepass games via GeForce Now. I tried it briefly with Starfield on Deck and it was both a better streaming experience and better by way of running on a 4080 instead of an Xbox.Just got Microsoft's xCloud service going on my deck.

I had a feeling those comments in the Wine merge request weren't good. I'm glad the cause of the issue is identified though. That's some progress at least after a long time of it being in stasis.
Been really enjoying Patch Quest if anyone is looking for a new lil pick up. It's a light bullet hell style game with a nice look and uses a monster-catching mechanic to switch up your abilities. Still on sale on Steam for a few more hours!

Started playthrough of Phantom Liberty this time with street kid V, played for a month on desktop exclusivelly for a first time since gettting SD but now I'm back to comfy playing on couch with SD, though it is struggling to hold 30 FPS in Dogtown unfortunately without FSR, which looks abysmal on Deck.
I'm actually planning to start my first, for real playthrough soon. Will probably do it via GeForce Now - it looks insane on the tiny Deck screen that way.
Radiant Silvergun just (finally) released on Steam after being delayed indefinitely from it's initial August 18 release. Works great out of the box on Deck. Classic lo res look vs. high res, 60fps, but looks like no 16:10 support (that I saw on my quick boot up anyway). Classic display format gives you a bit of a wider screen though. + Cloud support. Looks like it's locked to 720p, hopefully that either gets patched or modded soon, though it doesn't matter too much for the deck experience.
Amazing to have it officially on Steam.

Seems like Baldur's Gate 3 now has FSR2 on the Deck. I haven't tested it yet but I'm super excited to get back to it after I shelved it for a bit waiting for improvements during Act 2.
FSR 2 on Witcher 3, even at Ultra Performance, has been really really good for me. Whatever artifacts there are, I'd have to squint to see on the screen. Worth it for the locked 40 FPS.
And on a 4K TV with FSR 2 at 1080p, 40 FPS VRR, HDR... looks great. Living room distance prevents scrutiny of any loss of detail, so I'm basically getting what I consider to be a more than decent console experience.
Maybe I'll finally buy Baldur's Gate now.

Really? I didn't see it in the recent patch notes...
EDIT: Seen some people mention this is now a thing, yeah. Also on PCs that aren't the Steam Deck. Seems like an odd thing to forget to mention

Still hate how the steam deck is confused as hell about its battery life if you don't play it for a few days. Could show 86%. You play for a few mins and it shuts down. You plug it in. It's actually 1%.
