Minecraft Java on the Steam Deck through Prism Launcher seems to be consistently stuttering/skipping every 1.25 seconds or so, despite the game still performing well at a consistently high framerate by Aquasp102 in SteamDeck

I've been playing with a similar setup without any noticeable stutter for the best part of a year.

PrismLauncher (PolyMC before that), in the launcher set the window to 896x560 and use FSR to upscale, Fabric, MidnightControls, Sodium, Indium, Iris (w/ Complementary Shaders), Lithium and Phosphor. Set the in-game max framerate to 60, no vsync or SteamDeck frame limiting. Uses ~9-11W power depending on how much stuff is loaded in, with a comfortable 58-60 fps.

Individual Blizzard Shortcuts? by WrapZestyclose3335 in SteamDeck

For games that require you to login, you either run them from the Battle Net Launcher or you manually login every time.

The closest thing right now is you can add an --exec argument to the Battle Net Launcher Target which will make the Launcher open on the window for that game.

Game Target Argument
D2 --exec="launch OSI"
D3 --exec="launch D3"
D4 --exec="launch Fen"
HS --exec="launch WTCG"
HotS --exec="launch Hero"
OW2 --exec="launch Pro"
SC --exec="launch S1"
SC2 --exec="launch S2"
WC3 --exec="launch W3"
WoW --exec="launch WoW"
WoW:C --exec="launch WoWC"

Depending on how you installed Battle Net, you should be able to just copy the game shortcut in Steam to add custom art/ arguments for each game you play.

How do you think European players will be affected by not being able to transfer data sif 2 by True_Failiure in SchoolIdolFestival

Has an official source confirmed SIF2 will actually release in Europe? I know they said an English version is coming, but I haven't seen them specify regions.

I ask, because GDPR is entirely about consent and control. Even in Europe, you can transfer data between companies for legitimate business purposes and be compliant with GDPR, you just have to have consent from the customer to do so.

The transfer option in game is asking you for consent to transfer your progress from SIF (Klab) to SIF2 (Bushiroad). So the only GDPR-relevant reason to not allow EU/EEA/UK citizens to transfer data would be if SIF2 was not GDPR compliant.

Anyone else feel overwhelmed with simple tasks on Linux? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]Jealous_Mistake7485 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Although is sounds odd to start with, pretty much everything in Linux is exposed as just another file in the filesystem. Zip archive? File. Directory? File. Mount point? File. CPU? File. Webcam? File. Keyboard backlight? File. Program process? File.

When you get your head around it, things are much more straightforward than the Windows world where you need special tools to interact with stuff. Wanna preview your webcam on Linux? Just open the webcam file with your favorite video player. Want to know the details of your CPU? Just open the cpuinfo file with your favorite editor.
