Shadows of Doubt Adds New Steam Deck Preset and Better Font Sizes in Experimental Patch
Shadows of Doubt got a new experimental patch that adds a new Steam Deck preset, makes font sizes larger, and more!
![Shadows of Doubt Adds New Steam Deck Preset and Better Font Sizes in Experimental Patch - Steam Deck HQ](https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/30ce3945-2a8e-4d0c-8bd5-fac8749d706f.webp?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
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 automated installer
This ambitious Fallout 4 mod is now available. Here's how to play Fallout: London on Valve's Steam Deck handheld, thanks to our 1-click-installer.

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.
Sober is a new way to play Roblox on Linux from the Vinegar team
While Roblox does still remain blocked on Linux with Wine, as usual the community finds a way. The Vinegar team recently revealed Sober, a currently closed-source specialized runtime for the Android version of Roblox.
![Sober is a new way to play Roblox on Linux from the Vinegar team](https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/33ce517d-82a5-4d89-8a2a-da9477242fec.webp?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
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.

Fix For Jackbox Megapicker Corrupting Steam Decks Released - Steam Deck HQ
The Jackbox Megapicker launcher has been corrupting Steam Decks, but a new hotfix was released that temporarily fixes this.

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.

God of War Ragnarok Has Been Announced for PC with FSR 3.1
The rumors have come true: God of War Ragnarok is coming to PC, and we hope it will be playable on the Steam Deck.
![God of War Ragnarok Has Been Announced for PC with FSR 3.1 - Steam Deck HQ](https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/177b25c4-d2ab-4b3f-9d0a-525c9c1c4d6d.webp?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
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.

Ghost of Tsushima single-player only on Steam Deck due to PlayStation Network features
Well, here's a bit of a nuisance. Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT is launching on May 16th and the developers have explained how it will work on Steam Deck but it's a mixture of good and bad news.
![Ghost of Tsushima single-player only on Steam Deck due to PlayStation Network features](https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/6266eacf-d0df-4789-92ad-099ecb1b73d5.webp?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
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.
Apex Legends Upheaval update live with EOS Anti-Cheat (temporarily) breaking it on Steam Deck / Linux, upgrade to proton experimental to fix
Respawn and EA have today released a major update for the popular battle royale shooter Apex Legends, which gives it an anti-cheat upgrade. Sadly it's causing issues for Steam Deck / Linux players.
![Apex Legends Upheaval update live with EOS Anti-Cheat breaking it on Steam Deck / Linux](https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/d63e9f01-cbba-4d7b-9d16-365fd5a08c49.webp?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
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
Hades II gets Steam Deck Verified and a surprise Early Access release
If you're a game developer I hope you weren't planning to launch soon, as Hades II just sneakily dropped into Early Access on Steam. It's also Steam Deck Verified right away!

Fallout 4 Loses Graphical Options on Steam Deck From "Next-Gen" Update
Fallout 4's next-gen update is out now, but unfortunately, it seems to get rid of the graphical options on the Steam Deck.
![Fallout 4 Loses Graphical Options on Steam Deck From "Next-Gen" Update - Steam Deck HQ](https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/926b58b6-815f-4a5a-9588-3d3adf8c8be5.webp?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
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%
