The game is verified to launch at 10fps haha If you change some settings it can be a little better but should not be verified for sure. Changing from "quality" default graphics to "performance". Should absolutely have been the default Steam deck settings BEFORE it was verified, as an absolute bare m

Another USB C port would be awesome. And better hardware of course, so I can also play new AAA games. And not really related to the deck it self but the steam shop kinda sucks on the deck.

For all Steam Deck users: RE2 doesnt work 🥺 Needs some tweaking to run just like Dino Crisis 2. RE3 runs good but controls need to be configured to be able to play.

At this point I literally do not care if a game is Steam Deck Verified. It means absolutely nothing Edit: i'll just add: my Deck has always been primarily a Slay the Spire/Slay the Spire 2 machine so its not an issue for me

Is anyone surprised? Verified has meant nothing for years. Valve saying they're going to make the restrictions even MORE lax for the Steam Machine honestly has me very concerned what they're gonna let publishers get away with, after watching what they've "verified" for the Deck.

As someone who developes decky plugins, it's a garbage platform for stability. No documentation, API calls are randomly depreciated in a release with no warning, and the decky store is completely a shit show with no actual concern for compatibility for steam versions. Like the slightest capitalizati

Yeah, pretty much. Partially related, but the way they implemented the integration with Epic Online Services increased the power consumption significantly. On Steam Deck it went from 7 to 12 W. The worst of all, they also planted a weird bug where if you try to use your active item and press the tri

I would caution you against getting a Steam Deck just to play OW, as it runs the PC version of the game. The PC version has specific restrictions for controller users: You’ll always be grouped into KBM pool, even if using a controller. Aim Assist is permanently disabled for Competitive modes on cont

Yeah. It sucks big time. Bungie is very hostile to Proton for some reason. Put out a whole blog post at one point for Destiny just to say no support ever for Steam deck.

For me I'll go against the crowd and say yes. Generally I'd say my steam deck is just too weak to play most games imo. Id have spent a lot more for something with a more powerful chip but I get why they went that way since efficiency is equally important. My M5 MacBook pro with the help of crossover
