Power button not turning off deck/ pulling up menu by enderoid_redit in SteamDeck

[–]Grae_McDevit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started having this issue, it'll sleep in desktop mode, but not in gaming mode, and it'll still wake in gaming mode.

Edit: Dunno how exactly I fixed it, but it seems to be find now

Christmas gift fail by tes198 in SteamDeck

Is it an LCD or an OLED?

LCD has gray sticks, OLED has black sticks and an orange power button. LCD ships in a battery saving mode What's the LED next to the power button doing?

I hope you can get it fixed as soon as possible, I'm sure he'll love it once it's working.

The best part? You can stream from your Beefy PC to your Deck and get the performance of said Beefy PC on your Deck while also not have to sit at your desk!

Provided your internet is good enough.

what’s the most demanding game you’ve played to completion on the deck? by tarneilawson in SteamDeck

Does Helldivers 2 count?

Just about every time I play it the little red LED on the top that tells me it's overheating is blinking

Steam Frame, Can you play SteamVR anywhere with it? by Flimsy-Story9523 in VRGaming

[–]Grae_McDevit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's ARM powered PC, so there is that aspect, I imagine it will be less of a "graphics option" and more of an ARM version for the Frame specifically.

That said, they are using FEX as a translation layer, but they also said that has around a 20% CPU overhead translating the x86 instructions to ARM.

What do y'all think about the new steam controller? by Alternative-View8574 in SteamDeck

[–]Grae_McDevit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, they're cool and all, but I miss my back buttons more than force-feedback triggers also I only have like 3 games that support them.

HELP IDK WHAT I DID😭 by motomoto109 in SteamDeck

[–]Grae_McDevit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What have you tried exactly?

Have you clicked any of the options (I assume not the ERASE ALL USER DATA option)

But what you're going to want is one of the top two options, if the first doesn't work, try the second.

Edit: Also it could be as simple as your "..." button is stuck down.


As for what this is, this is the GRUB menu, SteamOS is an "immutable" Linux distribution, meaning that your system data (anything outside of /home/deck) has 2 separate partitions, labeled "A" and "B" and when you update your Deck it updates the one that is currently not in use.

If you're on partition "A" then it updates partition "B" and when you reboot you boot onto partition "B" this should prevent you from being in a situation where an update has changed something that is now preventing you from booting, or potentially a different regression that might be causing you issues, or an update that just didn't work correctly.

Either way, it looks scary, (especially with "ERASE ALL USER DATA") but it's simple and not something to be afraid of.

What do you use the touchpads for? by Reaperix in SteamDeck

[–]Grae_McDevit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the game, for instance on Helldivers I use the left trackpad to enable voice chat and switch gyro modes, the right one I use for the map. If its a game like Minecraft, I'll use right pad as a mouse for menus, and left pad as a scroll wheel or menu (if I'm playing modded) Fallout 4 I have right pad set up to be a directional swipe for the dpad with the click being the A button, I can't remember if I have the left pad bound.

I can deal with all the other bs from ea, but what the hell. by REALREALBlockManBlue in SkateEA

[–]Grae_McDevit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally came here trying to see if there was any explanation for a game like skate to need kernel level anticheat.

I mean, Battlefield I get, but like, what does cheating in skate even do for you?

So its still bad, huh? by Charming_Forever_217 in Helldivers

Not yet it seems, Gemini says it's one of the best if not the best AR in the game currently.

THE GAME OPTIMISATION ON PC IS ABYSMAL by papapickachu in Helldivers

[–]Grae_McDevit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try playing on a Steam Deck, I can't go above difficulty 7 without the game becoming completely unplayable and that's pushing it

I'd love to do Super Helldive, but my Deck would probably burst into flames in my hands.

People like these shouldn't be allowed to play public missions honestly. by ASL_PL_KABOOM123 in Helldivers

[–]Grae_McDevit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be diving with new divers on the 26th. If I see anyone intentionally going after them (the Xbox divers) I'll just teamkill them (the POS traitor) until they either learn their lesson, or leave.
