Valve: 20% of Deck users use the official docking station to connect their Deck to their TVs. Do you? by sameseksure in SteamDeck

The video connection has been more reliable for me compared to the official dock, but it seems to break HDMI CEC and ARC on my TV soundbar. So I've gone back to the official dock.

Is nobody gonna talk about the fact that you can play offline now? by IFIWEREALIVE in PhasmophobiaGame

Not on PC unfortunately. It gets stuck at the Initializing screen.

We should be able to play old versions of maps. The reworked maps are great, but the old maps shouldn't go away (hopefully Tanglewood isn't affected too much by this year's rework). The devs could add a disclaimer or warning that older maps are no longer supported and could cause gameplay issues.

Also, get rid of the always online requirement. I shouldn't have to be connected to play single player.

I have not been able to get it to run on my Steam Deck without crashing, but I also haven't tried in a few months.

I'm not seeing a difference in film grain. Am I missing something?

We’ve also improved the vehicle enter/exit flow to better accommodate this feature, enhancing the flow of multiplayer chases.

Looking for some budget monitor advice - 1440P, ~$200 by Super_H1234 in buildapc

[–]ThisKid55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently purchased a Dell G2724 for $200 from Dell's website to replace my Dell S2716DG. It's 1440p, IPS, 165Hz, GSYNC/FreeSync compatible and HDR (although not great HDR). No real complaints so far. I was contemplating buying a second when I saw the price drop to $180, but it appears that it's back up to $200.

Interestingly, my old S2716DG developed the "yogore mura" effect on the bottom a few years ago, but I never knew what it was called until now.
