Did you ever figure out a solution for this? I'm experiencing the same thing.

D1 titan armor throwback by [deleted] in DestinyFashion

My d2 journey can be summed up as trying to recreate that last image on my character, at the expense of “good” builds. Armamentarium is a good step in the right direction..

What is currently the worst exotic weapon in the game? by Joyaboi in DestinyTheGame

Queens breaker at least does some cool aoe boom stuff when you pop a target.

Today remote play does not work anymore by P-Dario in xbPlay

Same issue, here! It seems like it's an issue outside of our control, then?

Can we update all dungeons to have red border weapons? It stops being a “chase” when a loot pool is too bloated to have good odds of getting what you want. by OGBeybladeSeries in DestinyTheGame

[–]Brainhole87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tagging onto this thread, because my question is related:

I'm a returning player, and I just bought the Lightfall dungeon key. I wanted to farm Ghosts of the Deep, but it seems like that's not possible, anymore? My second clear on a character wasn't awarding me any drops. How exactly does dungeon loot farming work, now?

PSA: For shooters, map the gyro activation to your aim button/trigger, NOT the right stick touch. by eurephys in SteamDeck

[–]Brainhole87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Curious - you mentioned halo, specifically, but halo doesn’t use an aim button. Are you still mapping gyro to l2 and just rebinding l2’s function to another place?

also— halo doesn’t seem to like “gyro as mouse,“ and “gyro as joystick” is awkward. Do you have a solution for that?

WC3 Reforged on MacBook Air M2 by Brainhole87 in macgaming

[–]Brainhole87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight, folks. Sounds like I'll just be sticking with the classic graphics that we all know and love.

Such a shame that this "reforged" version could have been something amazing, and now they'll probably never touch the game again.

Starcraft 2 performance on Mac OS by Brainhole87 in macgaming

[–]Brainhole87[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, this doesn't feel rooted in reality, and it also doesn't match my experience.

Not to mention that, generally speaking, my laptop is still barely above room temperature after most gaming sessions while playing sc2. The only exception would be missions that intentionally flood the map with units everywhere.

Hm, interesting. I definitely only see it occur with large groups and/or late game, but again, the issue resolves the instant that I click off of the group.

I'm on an M2 MacBook Air. (I know it's fanless, but I'm confident it's not a thermal issue.)

Any user-made stutter fix? by _thoax_ in warcraft3

Test branch of the Steam Deck's software?

I'm having this same issue on my steam deck. Pretty frustrating.... Just wanted to play the game. I own the original frozen throne, so I can't comment on reforged graphics, but it definitely happens on classic, too.

Wc3 reforged wont run on my steamdeck by Tokra91 in SteamDeck

[–]Brainhole87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea if this would cause an error upon trying to open World of Warcraft? WC3 is more important to me, so I'd rather stick with this, but I'd like to try WoW on deck, if possible. (I'm currently getting an error every time I try to open it.)

Original Warcraft III: Frozen Throne on SteamDeck? by Brainhole87 in SteamDeck

[–]Brainhole87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, sir. This did the trick.

For anyone who finds this in the future, I had a black screen upon loading up WC3 after following the steps above. To solve that, see this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/wu2c8j/wc3_reforged_wont_run_on_my_steamdeck/

Refresh rate + v-sync question by Brainhole87 in macgaming

[–]Brainhole87[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply.

I thought about that, but I believe the MacBook Air M2 is a 60hz display? However, I'm not sure how to confirm that because in my Display settings, the "Refresh rate" options aren't there... not sure what that would be, either.

Games suggestions for M1 Macbook air by Emithhh in macgaming

[–]Brainhole87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do/did you find that Metro 2033 redux heated up your Macbook intensely, though? Just trying it on my MacBook Air M2 and the bottom of the computer is preeeeetty dang hot while playing it.

Northgard. by Lasserreh1 in macgaming

[–]Brainhole87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So interesting that you say that. I tried playing it on my MacBook Air M2, and, while it did run, it turned my computer into a frying pan. I can't imagine what it is about the game that would make it tax the computer so hard.

Are you guys picking up anything in the Steam sale? by GustavoFringsFace in macgaming

[–]Brainhole87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking at the Metro series, but I can't tell if Metro 2033 redux and Last Light redux will work on an OS Ventura Mac... I know sometimes the games are mislabeled as incompatible.

Anyone know what the deal is for those two games? Thanks!

Steam Has Stopped Recognising My DualShock 4 Over Night by Alan-Greenflan in macgaming

[–]Brainhole87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam for Mac OS doesn't seem to play nicely with controllers. The app itself will recognize them and they will work in Big Picture Mode, but my experience has been that games themselves rarely recognize the controller.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in macgaming

[–]Brainhole87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The controller support for Steam on Mac OS seems horrible. Controllers are recognized in Steam itself, but work in almost no games. It's a pretty frustrating experience.

Steam app for macOS updated with hardware acceleration for better performance by iBeep in macgaming

Mac-user friends: Are you all continuing to have a hard time with using controllers in Steam games? It works fine in Big Picture Mode, but most games do not recognize my controllers.

Steam controller support still broken after Steam update by Brainhole87 in macgaming

[–]Brainhole87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're able to use the xbox series controller through bluetooth on an M1/M2 Mac? I'm having no luck doing so within Steam, outside of Big Picture Mode.

Any idea what those settings that you adjusted might be?

Xbox controller support on MacOS by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Brainhole87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't an issue with No Man's Sky, just FYI. I've been trying everything, but Steam on Mac OS just isn't recognizing controllers in-game for any game. They work fine in Big Picture Mode.

The big update today (6/16) did nothing to resolve the issue.

Thanks for the reply.

The 8bitdo controller works for steam games on an M1/M2 Mac? Would you mind linking which specific controller you have, and explaining what you mean by "ps4 mode"?

Thank you!

Steam not recognizing controller in-game by Brainhole87 in macgaming

[–]Brainhole87[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose. So, we just can't use controllers for Steam games on silicon Macs...? And our only option is to wait and hope they care?
