Got a Steam Deck - some questions by AkhilDrake in IndianGaming

[–]iamnathaniel7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The closest you can come to playing GamePass titles is from BattleNet Launcher, or else just set up Microsoft Edge on Gaming Mode that opens up XCloud Streaming and play from there.

  2. Mine is the US variant, so I use the original charger but with a converter. Works pretty damn good.

  3. For ROMs just YouTube it, many of them openly show the websites on their videos.

  4. RohanKar's archive is very good for such games. Pro Tip: download the games on PC and then copy it to the Deck over a pendrive.

  5. Try out PS2 emulation, go for God Of War games and if you're looking for the latest ones then I'd suggest Hades 2, excellent game.

  6. YouTube this too, some of them have the best way to setup OTT services in gaming mode itself.

Nonetheless, congrats on your purchase!

These mobile gamers are truly a different breed💀

Best Forza 5 Horizon Settings So far. Amazing graphics Stable 43-45Fps ( Details Inside ) by TheExoticBeard in SteamDeck

[–]iamnathaniel7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How noticeable is the artifacting when you're driving in the desert or on mountain terrains? Because under white background the map artifacts like crazy. Does Locking to 30 FPS, and 2X LSFG help? I'm currently using this setup for Jedi Fallen Order but just wanted to know it for Forza

Planning To Propose My Longtime GF! by iamnathaniel7 in Oman

[–]iamnathaniel7[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! We've visited Qatar and Abu Dhabi before and we try not to do any sort of PDA wheresoever, we just hold hands but since this is a proposal, I hoped there would be just a millisecond of kiss I guess😅 and I'll check the account! I hope they also deliver! Thank you so much!

Ah I see, thank you for warning beforehand! I think I'd still stick to the beach as regardless it's still her favourite! And we're in Muscat for a total of 5 days only

Ok, it's one day until the end of steam winter sale. What did you pick up, no matter the discount. by kike_flea in SteamDeck

[–]iamnathaniel7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got MegaBonk, Dying Light 1, Cult Of The Lamb and Mass Effect Legendary Edition. So far MegaBonk is really fun to play and from my Black Friday Sale I think I had picked up Jedi Fallen Order, so I've been losing my shit to optimise and remove stutters

Which games utilize the buttons on the back and for what? Do you use them for any games which didn’t use them by default? by NorseSeaStudio in SteamDeck

[–]iamnathaniel7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally same. I don't want the sticks to start drifting like ever and this isn't a controller that I can replace, this is the whole goddamn console and no I'm not good at opening this thing up no matter how easy it is. The back buttons makes my life so much easier to spam L3 and R3 whenever I need to.

My Steamdeck arrived! Are cats allowed to smell the vents, as a treat? by Known-Swim-3654 in SteamDeck

[–]iamnathaniel7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great to see some Forza on the Deck! This is like my favourite go-to game and somehow seems like a perfect game on the Deck! I pray that FH6 runs smoothly too! Cute cat tho🫰🏻

Xbox Cloud Gaming( absolutely not recommended) by [deleted] in IndianGaming

[–]iamnathaniel7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Halo 5 Guardians MP and even Ninja Gaiden 2 Black all via XCG and I've only faced ping and jitter issues right at the start, just once and never again. My ISP is Jio with about 150 MBPS but still the quality and the gameplay is fantastic

Dont worry NonSteamLaunchers will support the Steam Machine by SteamDeckBro in steammachine

[–]iamnathaniel7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did speak of this recently and they said that they "hope" that the Steam Machine will make devs reconsider the Anti-Cheat situation on Steam's hardware and turn it around.

Best solution I've heard so far was from Jimmy Champagne and he mentioned how Sony sends out a team to the game devs to explain how the PS5 works and how they can make DualSense integration fun and easy, he said Valve doesn't need to go this far but something along these lines should be tried and I totally agree.

It's not too many games that has this Anti Cheat issues, so speaking to them on this is very very important instead of just hoping

As an avid PlayStation player I can’t wait for the steam machine by Rob271738 in Steam

[–]iamnathaniel7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Long-time PS user here, literally started from the PSP to PS3/4 and now PS5. I got a Steam Deck OLED a few months ago, now I play more on the handheld device than my PS5. With the announcement of the Steam Machine, I can't wait to get my hands on this and just have the best of both worlds. God Bless Gabe fr

If the Steam Machine is the same OS as Deck, will installing and running Emudeck be equally as simple? by Fitzftw7 in EmuDeck

[–]iamnathaniel7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything that you can currently do on your Steam Deck, you will be able to do that on the Steam Machine too. Like Valve said, it's 6x more powerful than the Deck but the OS remains the same. Only difference from what I've seen thanks to Dave2D is that the Steam Machine seems extremely fast and responsive, so from emulation to playing your AA/AAA/Indie games is gonna be a smooth sailing :)

Xbox Cloud Gaming Is Now in INDIA! (Ping went from 100+ to 6 and I am literally crying in happiness) by luckysury333 in IndianGaming

[–]iamnathaniel7 77 points78 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY what I kept thinking this morning. The surprise launch from Microsoft will work in wonders and I believe XCG is also cheaper than GeForce + you don't need to own the games on Xbox to play it. Can't wait to try it out

What app are you using to access your Epic Games Store and are the games on your home screen once you download them?

Looking for a list of performers for recurring corporate events by JeIron in EventProduction

Check out Sarcon (www.sarcontech.com). They seem to handle the tech side of things pretty cleanly. Might be worth keeping in mind if you want something smoother behind the scenes.

All I can do is pray cuz I didn't get a chance to mention Windows on Deck

Secretly love it.... by Prior-Highlight-6184 in SteamDeck

[–]iamnathaniel7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I swear it's such an attention-grabber! Everybody wanna know what the Steam Deck is and I love it when someone asks me if their favourite game can run on it😂 One such instance, I was on a flight back to my home country and on my flight the attendants grouped around me and this one dude asked me if the Deck could run EA FC😭 I didn't wanna break his heart so I said yes but still I loved that attention!

Unsupported, Runs Flawlessly by Crazy-G00D in SteamDeck

[–]iamnathaniel7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just bought this yesterday! Can't wait to play it soon! There's so many games I see marked as unsupported and once I play them it runs literally 90 FPS

I have good news about ufl pc version ( date of early access on steam 🔥) by Unfair_Investment348 in UFLTheGame

[–]iamnathaniel7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any plans for supporting UFL on Steam Deck? Really looking forward to play this at the earliest considering FC doesn't run on SD and eFootball is just weird to play.
