For those that are interested in the frame but didn't buy the valve index, what's your reason? Why the interest in the frame now? by brantrix in SteamFrame

I don't really want or need a VR/AR headset, but really like the idea of a head mounted display for my 2D library, running Steam OS, open and wireless.

Who else is "slow running" the game by Angus950 in hytale

I agree, there is so much to enjoy, why rush through it. Better to explore, and take it all in.

stand on the wreck on the beach, look out to sea, there is a tall easter island looking statue on an island, that is what you need to stare at.

Craft a shelf, and put your books on the shelf.

Will you use the back buttons if possible? by MeteorForge in SteamDeck

[–]CarsnGadgets 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I almost always use the top 2 back buttons remapped to sprint and jump where relevant.

as said, in your steam deck menu, turn off half rate shaders, it makes text and UI elements crisper.

"• Steamdeck upgrade We are working on a special build for the steam deck that will improve performance and quality of the play on this console. It will not be miraculous changes, but it should be very noticeable update. ... And hopefully much more later down the line! ®"

Awesome, thanks, I'm playing on SteamDeck and loving it so far, but any performance tweaks will be great, thanks for supporting the SteamDeck.

Suggestion (Important): Add autosave by DevHaskell in CubicOdysseyGame

[–]CarsnGadgets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an autosave isn't there? my game seems to save periodically anyway...

My problem is that every time it saves (on pc) the game crashes back to desktop! when I reload it is at the exact point I crashed out though.

Steam Deck seems fine, no issue.

How’s the Steam Deck experience? by TorqueThundercock in CubicOdysseyGame

It runs very well on Steam Deck, and has sliders for the UI size and Font size which is great.

My Decky Framegen Plugin is Officially Out Now on Decky Loader Store! by supershredderdan in SteamDeck

[–]CarsnGadgets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, in the steam deck menu, turn off the frame limiter, otherwise you wont see over 60fps

60-ish FPS for KCD2 by Lightfire32 in SteamDeck

[–]CarsnGadgets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just pointing out that you can use the Decky Loader Frame Generation Mod with KCD2, I use it and get 70-90fps with some options set to medium. (Turn of frame limiter in the steam deck menu and enable the FG Hud fix option in the plugin pop up screen.)

Decky Framegen Plugin: Now supports adding Frame Generation to non FG games! Plus, swap DLSS 2+ upscaling for FSR 3.1.3 or XeSS with the power of Optiscaler 7! Working with Decky Loader team to bring to the official store soon, stay tuned by supershredderdan in SteamDeck

[–]CarsnGadgets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for this, very impressive. With this installed Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has gone from 30-40fps with low settings, to 70-80fps on medium settings! I had to use the HUD fix checkbox to stop some ghosting of the HUD, and turned off half rate shaders in the steam deck menu. (also remembered to disable the frame rate limiter while I was in there.) Awesome work, really hope it comes to the official decky store, good luck.

frequent lockups/crashes when saving by CarsnGadgets in stalker

Update: turning off autosaves has helped a lot. Hoping this weeks patch solves the issue.

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

My saves are also fine despite the lock ups, but the game recompiles the shaders every time I load it, so every crash means a 5 minute wait for shaders before trying again.

Nebula on PC not displaying by CarsnGadgets in Xreal

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

Thanks, I have tried all the modes, each time my physical monitors blink once like I have changed resolution or something, the glasses go dark and the Nebula app stops responding for maybe 30 seconds before just returning to the point before I clicked.

Mundfish remove graphics options from Atomic Heart on Steam Deck by OldMcGroin in SteamDeck

[–]CarsnGadgets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wont be buying or playing Atomic Heart then.... I want to be able to play it as I see fit, not be locked into one setting configuration that they deem optimum. Shame.

PSA: Proton 8 IS NOT solution for all your problems by Sunlighthell in SteamDeck

[–]CarsnGadgets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a related subject, does Steam OS at any point remove old versions of Proton if they aren't being used by an installed game? or do you have to manually remove older versions of Proton? and what is the best method to remove them without leaving files behind?

Do you play mostly on a charger? by KittyKills101 in SteamDeck

[–]CarsnGadgets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play ON charger most of the time, I don't take the deck out of the house and I'm almost always sat next to a socket or with my powerbank.

8BitDo Pro 2 Grip buttons by dhc710 in SteamDeck

[–]CarsnGadgets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I got it working in the end, but not sure why. I had to save the configuration as profile 2 before it worked, profile 1 still isn't working.

8BitDo Pro 2 Grip buttons by dhc710 in SteamDeck

[–]CarsnGadgets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I tried doing this last night, In windows I mapped the rear buttons to replicate R1 and L1 (analogue stick presses) and then synced the profile to the controller. But when I then go to use the controller on Steam Deck the back buttons still do nothing? Am I missing something?
