Shadows of Doubt is amazing, but hasn't run very well on the deck. Inside areas run great, but travelling outside between buildings has had pretty severe fps drops even though the deck's hardware isn't being maxed out.

However this new experimental patch helps a lot. The deck power consumption jumps up a lot when outside, but the fps manages to mostly hold 30fps now which is a huge improvement. The recent patches have also brought a lot of controller support improvements, making it a viable way to play the game.

Fallout London requires downgrading your game version before installing the mod. The people who run Overkill.wtf (who cover handheld news and have a weekly email newsletter) made an installation script to simplify the installation.

Roblox was broken on Deck and linux by the addition of a new anti-cheat. The way the Sober app gets around the anti-cheat is by instead running the android app. This apparently has some significant performance improvements over the usual PC app as well, with people reporting up to twice the performance on the same hardware.

I know people are pretty dismissive of roblox (myself included), but it's hugely popular and it's always good to have the option.

The Jackbox Megapicker was corrupting SteamOS and forcing people to reinstall the entire OS. It's been fixed with a hot fix for now, but probably safest to avoid it until they get this all sorted out.

Name of the game is cross-post's community, playing it on our device is against ToS therefore the hoops

If you wanna know the deets, ask me in DM

if you already know, don't yell on the internet about it (like I just did lol)

The company who's handling the port is the same company that ported the previous God of War. That one ran pretty well on the deck (other than a memory leak requiring a larger swap file in some cases), so I'm hoping this one will run acceptable with the addition of FSR.

This is a developer Q&A session with Steam Deck HQ. It specifically covers a lot of questions about what was involved in getting the game running well on Steam Deck.

There's a new beta for Caves of Qud, available by opting into the beta from the game's steam properties.

Noteworthy changes for Steam Deck users:

• 🚨ALL NEW INTERFACE🚨 Our transformational UI redesign is complete! Fully mouseable, fully gamepaddable, and much prettier, but all carefully designed to maintain the essence of what makes Qud Qud. More polish is coming, but everything functional is in.

• Support for Steam Cloud saves. Play between PCs or between Steam Deck and PC, at your leisure

There are a lot of other good changes too, full patch notes are here.. This patch will exit beta on June 6th.

According to the developer:

> You may notice that Steam marks the game as 'Unsupported' for Steam Deck. This is due to the Legends co-op multiplayer mode requiring Windows to access PlayStation Network integrated features.

They're rolling out a new in-game PlayStation overlay that requires PSN and windows to work, and multiplayer features won't be available without the two. It's possible that Valve will be able to fix the windows incompatibility issue, although there's no hope for the PSN requirement part being removed.

It switched from the standalone version of EAC to Epic Online Services anticheat instead, breaking steam deck support in the process.

However, EOS is normally supported on Steam Deck, so this is probably a temporary issue and will hopefully be resolved by either Valve or Respawn/Epic. We'll just have to wait and see.

Edit: this is reportedly now fixed on proton experimental

Fallout 4 just got updated with a "next-gen" update that got the game Steam Deck verified, fixed bugs, and added some new content.

However one of the ways they got the game verified was by disabling the game's launcher by default, the same launcher that is the only way to change graphical settings.

You can re-enable the launcher by changing your steam launch settings to SteamDeck=0 %command%
