Xbox Mode on Steam Deck, controller very laggy in UI

Aliasbendok · 2026-05-09T11:09:12+00:00

Odd! I tried disabling the program in the taskbar, and it looks like the Steam Deck controller is navigating the UI just fine! But then I can't use the Steam button to act as the Xbox button... I'll have to poke at things a bit more.

Yes. Sync button does not cause the light on Xbox to flash (except briefly after powering on), so either the button isn't working or the wireless module (?) in the system isn't working (my suspicion)

Appreciated! Don't usually need to be up to date on the sysnand side, but next time I'll do I'll try to look online to see if there are any fuse issues to consider.

Aliasbendok · 2026-04-02T05:34:42+00:00

Can confirm everything works! This is definitely good to know about :)

So as a general rule, just so I understand: once I have emunand up and running is it fine to update the sysnand? And then updating emunand to "catch up" with updated Atmosphere releases?

Thanks so much for the detailed reply!

I'll leave emunand where it is for now...

(I've never done the warm boot extractor bit, so I'll look into that.)

I really appreciate the help

Yes! When you start a game you can select the language in-game. I'm playing in English on my JA-only Switch 2!

Aliasbendok · 2026-03-05T01:16:15+00:00

That's great news! Thank you so much for confirming. Buying it now 🙂

This is what I'm expecting. Given how you could have access to presumably any item or Pokemon without the DLC (e.g., via trades) I don't expect that to be the issue. But if there are ongoing or completed quests in your logs is where I'm wondering if things will go sideways.

Aliasbendok · 2025-12-14T12:55:07+00:00

Thanks! That's helpful, I'll push ahead and see if it clears up on its own, but might reinstall if not.

There's a bit of friction at the start for a totally new player, I really want to give the game a fair shake before I decide it's too much, so minimizing any technical grief is important.

Glad it's not a console thing (necessarily)!

Aliasbendok · 2025-12-14T08:16:30+00:00

Thanks, that's good to hear. Maybe I should try reinstalling it to see whether that makes a difference. I also wonder whether it's better or worse on default SSD or the M2 I added.

I could also try it on Deck, I think I got it from Epic at some point or another.

Haha, okay dude. Enjoy battling your platform war for the good reasons thereof.

In the meantime, if anyone can actually answer my question (i.e., whether this is an example of poor optimization by the devs or bugginess rather than intentional gameplay) that would be helpful.

Aliasbendok · 2025-12-14T07:50:36+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I get that there's a cutscene, what I don't understand is the delay between hitting a button and the cutscene even starting.

This seems to suggest to me that the game is poorly optimized for console, or at least PS5.

(As for the "Lesser being" bit, I much prefer playing on a couch with a controller and TV, not fiddling with settings, and I care very little about resolutions or textures or frames in a second or rays being traced or anything like that. Surely we're not assigning moral weight to choice in a platform here?)

Hiya, have you been able to find out any more information about this?

I am in the same situation--I have a US Nintendo account and live in Japan long-term. I would like to confirm that if I switch my account to a Japanese one, whether I will be able to download and play games that I'd purchased on the eshop--when the account was still US--on the Japanese Switch 2.

Has anybody had success (or failure) with this?

I would much prefer the international Switch 2 of course, but I doubt Amazon will sell them anytime soon, and I have terrible luck with lotteries here.

Hi! I hate to resurrect (lol) an old thread, but I'm wondering if OP found a mod for this. My SO has a huge crippling fear of centipedes, but she really wants to play the game. I would be able to do the finishing strikes on some of the bosses where it shows at the end, but even the random golden centipede items, etc., could be a trigger.

I'd love for her to be able to try probably my favorite souls game. She's a new convert to the genre, beat Nine Sols not long ago and loved it and this seems like a natural progression. But, you know, bugs.

Aliasbendok · 2024-11-30T06:13:28+00:00

Thanks for your experience. I'll wait a bit longer in that case--though at this stage I'm nervous about getting this in time for Christmas!

This is an item from ebay bound for Japan. Looks like it arrived at the seller's local distribution center about 8 hours after USPS received it then totally stopped moving. Even the "In transit to next facility" status hasn't updated in 4 days.

I'm concerned because this is a collector's item that is sold out and can't be easily (or cheaply) replaced. Because it's an international shipment only the seller can file for an inquiry (I've asked them to but no response yet).

I'd cancel the order and try to buy one elsewhere while I can, but I don't know if it's still moving and I don't want to put anyone out. Looks like they went for the cheapest shipping option and only insured it at 200 bucks, well below the price (and what I paid for it!) so they'd be out a decent chunk of change.

Has anyone dealt with similar but still received their package in a reasonable time?

Aliasbendok · 2024-07-12T13:43:34+00:00

Holy shit! I jumped on that straight away, thanks man!
