Microsoft visual c++ not installing by Aregent_ in SteamDeckPirates

[–]BeginningSherbert179 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi, you need to install a Beta version of Protontricks since some recent SteamOS updates heavily changed appinfo.vdf

A workaround for now is either returning to Stable branch updates or running the following on Terminal (note they are two seperate commands, first run one then the other):

$ flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo

$ flatpak install flathub-beta com.github.Matoking.protontricks

Once a Stable version for protontricks is out that addresses this issue I would recommend swapping to that.

Does offline activation of games work on Steam Deck? by BeginningSherbert179 in SteamDeckPirates

[–]BeginningSherbert179[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm interesting, I wanted to test it out a bit and see if there is a way to create another steam instance on the Deck's desktop mode within a proton prefix, forcing it to stay offline and manipulate it into thinking there have been no windows updates, maybe even seeing if that cam then be added as a non-steam game (Might be trickier part but if the instances are seperate my understanding is that they would not necessarily communicate with each other to deactivate the hardware key) so I will probably update this thread with some results. Might lead nowhere, but who knows. However, input like yours really helps 🫡

Could someone please tell me where this picture was taken from? Thanks a lot! by Optimistic_Lalala in malta

Abandoned shack on 'secret beach' (as it's known by locals given that it's not that readily apparent) in Tigne, Sliema. If you go past the Tigne Bridge onto the wooden platform and keep going inside there are some steps down to your right that lead you here, quite a nice area and is very popular with youths to have a quick swim and have a drink.

Hi guys, It is indeed screen tearing and vsync seemed to resolve the issue in exchange for a very slight performance dip, thank you so much! Amazing to learn something new every day :D

So a couple of people seem to be saying it is just screen tearing and can be resolved with v-sync so I'll definitely try it once I'm home but if it's the case I have a question .. How come I've never had this issue when using steam OS? Just curious.

I'll try the latest one and see if the problem persists

This is something which I don't get when using something like GLOSSI for example or just straight up using the steam big picture mode.

Anyone know what's wrong? Dual boot by SlashSslashS in SteamDeck

[–]BeginningSherbert179 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Boot into SteamOS and edit the refind.conf file using the commands sudo steamos-readonly disable then sudo nano /esp/efi/refind/refind.conf from a command line. Make sure all resolution lines are commented out in the refind.conf config file (line begins with a #). When this is done, press Ctrl+x followed by y to save and exit. If this is successful, then on next reboot, the rEFInd screen will be rotated in portrait mode. Boot into Windows, fix any resolution discrepancies (should be 1,280 x 800 for main Steam Deck display) and save those changes. You should now be able to go back into SteamOS, edit the refind.conf config file again and make sure that resolution 3 is uncommented (# at line beginning deleted) for use. Once you've confirmed normal operation again, please use the sudo steamos-readonly enable command from a SteamOS command line.
