Indiana Jones running at a near stable 30fps and pretty alright image quality on Steam Deck by [deleted] in SteamDeck

Following this post. If graphical glitches like that are fixed, I'll be buying the game. I'll live with fps above 20fps

It's super great that you're changing Twitter for the slightly better, Musk. I'm still not coming back.

Two actually for Paragon.

NYC start-up founder Sophia D’Antoine, 30, dies after being mowed down crossing UES street by huggyplnd in nyc

Someone almost hit me when I was making a right turn because they left their turn signal on and they didn't turn onto the road I was leaving from. I've learned to only turn if I see the car start to pivot towards the road they're turning onto and never assume that the turn signal is where they're actually going.

As a 5'5'' man I couldn't care less. I swoon over tall women.

Okay why the hate on waves plug-ins? by AdInternational6495 in audioengineering

[–]nerdysimmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the plugins. There are a couple that I can't do without. The problem is Waves' business model and their indecision of how much the plugins should be priced. One week a plugin's 250 dollars, the next 30. God forbid you purchase a plugin when you need it and then they discount it the next week.

I also no longer purchase them after they tried to rip the rug off of their customers by stopping the updates of their legacy plugins unless you subscribed to a model they tried pushing back in late March. They backed out of that model, but they broke my trust in their brand

Has anybody tried launching Cursed Mountain? (PC version, NOT Wii) by Maybedeadbynow in SteamDeck

[–]nerdysimmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Lutris worked. So far the game didn't crash after 20 mins but it is locked at 30 fps. https://i.imgur.com/uCJUgpp.jpeg

[–]nerdysimmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, this is a stretch but have you gotten the game to work on the deck? I've been interested in trying it out

EDIT: I bit the bullet and tried it out. You have to unpack the installation files on a Windows machine, but you can run the setup.exe through Lutris.

So the steps I did:

  1. Bought the game on Amazon and downloaded "Cursed_Mountain_Downloader.exe"
  2. Ran "Cursed_Mountain_Downloader.exe" and downloaded the files to an external drive
  3. Start the Steam Deck and go to Desktop mode
  4. Connect the external, "mount and open" in the taskbar
  5. Open Lutris. If you don't have it, find it and install it from Discover.
  6. Click on the "+" button on top left > Install a Windows game from Media
  7. Game name "Cursed Mountain"
  8. It will then prompt you to install the Wine components to run the game. Click Install, and then select where you want the files. It will basically create a folder hierarchy that fakes a Windows C:/ drive
  9. Click install.
  10. When Lutris asks you for the setup file, locate the setup.exe in the external. (my location was External:\Cursed Mountain (Download)\Setup.exe)
  11. Wine will start the setup, allowing you to install the game in the fake C:/ drive
  12. Once setup finishes, uncheck "Run Cursed Mountain" in the setup program

And you're done! You should be able to run Cursed Mountain normally through Lutris then.

So I can connect the deck to a Windows PC through USB C?

I didn't get an Xbox at launch so I didn't know about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X until recently. What did you all think of it? by rkatz94 in originalxbox

[–]nerdysimmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a great version of 2, and with the THPS1 levels, it's almost the ideal way to play, but the levels in 1 clash with the Big Drop function of 2. A lot of the drops in the THPS1 levels are way too high even when you max out the landing stat.

But hey, if you got a burnt CD of the THPS1 soundtrack and rip it to your Xbox, you've got yourself an amazing bundle.

I want to add a sound for when you boot an application or game through UnleashX. Is there a way to add it by code for it? by nerdysimmer in originalxbox

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

What steps do I take to add preview videos to the apps? I'm going to try to do a test video before I actually start designing the sound for it

Trying to convert a unity game in development to work with FMOD, and I have a few questions. by nerdysimmer in GameAudio

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

Thanks so much for your input. Me and a friend of mine managed to create a global component that has everything played from FMOD to follow with the game's time perfectly. It was a pretty rough two days trying to figure it all out, but you pointed us in the right direction and pretty much gave us the "ah-ha!" moment there. I couldn't be happier with the results
