I bought mine from uPerfect. Excellent quality. I wouldn’t look beyond their brand. They are awesome.

You need to search for the fix. Done it myself once. I believe there are executables for this. EA messed up their launcher when the remade it a while back. One of the things that need fixing is getting the correct font on your device. It’s pretty fucked up.

Lucky you.

Sure! Seems my screen isn’t up for sale anymore. This is the closest I could find without diving too deep: https://a.co/d/01D6h52

Portable, built in battery, plug into the deck with USB-C and you even get touch. Chose if the screen should charge the Deck while plugged in or not. Mostly just plug it with hdmi though and play Mario Kart and Kirby with my son. Has Samsung Dex-support so with one of those phones plugged in you get a laptop like experience. Truly a great buy. Can’t recommend enough.

Do some research though. Make sure you get a screen with touch and battery to get the most out of the screen (touch isn’t good enough to play mobile games but good enough to navigate menus, use YouTube, etc). Stay in the range of 14-16" for it to be portable. And check that your phone is compatible with the screen you buy. Also check the ms so the game experience is good.

Now you can play 4p Mario Kart on mount everest.

Very, very good. Pricing seems okay as well. Glad the specs are the same so games will work on both versions. Saving straight performance upgrades for the next version seems like the right move.

Very interested in upgrading but I can’t justify it to my wallet. I love my Steam Deck as is and often use a portable external screen with it anyhow.

Mesh routers are nothing to recommend lightly. Most are a complete headache to set up.

Depends. I need Parsec as host. Or something equivalent. And I couldn’t find it. So I’m stuck where I am.

This went south, east, north and west at the same time. Calm down people :)

Linux gaming is a little hit or miss. Some games have a performance boost. Some are about the same. And some games perform worse. This is the reality. And this is what should be expected.

Your post is still true for your specific hardware and this specific game, with these specific drivers, but let’s not go crazy here. Linux is good, yes. Fantastic even, on the Steam Deck. On PC most people are better off sticking with Windows, especially if you play a couple of competitive multiplayer titles. Or if you want to stream games from one device to another in house. Or if you have limited time and just want shit to work. Linux is getting closer, but the out of the box experience need to become way better and I don’t doubt it will sooner rather than later.

Worked for me. Saves weere still there after my internal ssd swap. Had my saves on sd card. Fresh install of emudeck found old saves.

How are the possibilities to change the on screen keyboard?

It’s not. Or I wanna see your breakfast in the morning.

The only thing I had issue with was the cable to the battery. For the longest time it felt like I had zero progress removing it. I even started doubting I did it right, then it started moving. Take your time. Also the shielding didn’t fit my ssd. So I had to carefully open it up and wrap it arround. I still never felt I was outside of my comfort zone. And I never do this type of thing. Just take it slow.

Mine didn’t have any issues when I swapped.

Is it now? I don’t hear anything. Gimme an official Xbox Game Pass app tho! Sure it’s easy enough to work arround but official apps are guud!

Talking about a handheld and neck issues kind of go hand in hand. It’s been an issue since the first handheld. I’m afraid Valve won’t be able to patch anatomy.

I came here to say this. Which is weird.

I would also argue the new portable from said company emulates incredibly well on most titles.

I bought an external travel monitor just recently. 15-16", 10800 mah battery, 1080p. Very thin. Plug it into the usb c and the screen even have touch. I can now play on a bigger screen without the need of a tv or even a power socket. Pair this with a dock, a small keyboard and wireless mouse and you basically have that laptop for when you need it. Brings cost up somewhat for sure. But now you can use it as handheld, on a screen, or on the tv.

So the same as 98% of users. But losing w/e games you had on there, if not installed directly from Steam, might be a frustrating endeavour. Just wanted to give a heads up. If you didn’t really need it, that’s ok and a thanks is alright. Have a good day.
