      For sure some people are experiencing issues. I do not want to discount those. However, with the original LCD Steam Deck, my update has gone perfectly fine and I am actually seeing more battery life when under lower loads. I say this to givw hope that in a week or two it'll be perfect once these issues are fixed.

      Some of the under the hood enhancements seem to have affected non-Steam software unfortunately. I've been playing modded Minecraft via Prism Launcher, and I now get various crashes upon game exit due to how temporary files are attempting to be used. At least, that's what I can glean from the log files. 🙂

    People always say if I want a PC handheld with more power then there are plenty of options, but to me there aren't. I cannot play most of the games I enjoy on my steam deck without the trackpads, and nobody else seems interested in including them. Hopefully that'll change soon (I think I saw something about another one with trackpads but I don't think it's released yet). Fingers crossed.

      I have both the Legion Go and the steamdeck. The LGO was exactly the performance boost I was looking for. The track pad isn't nearly as good as steamdecks but it is more than serviceable. I've only had a few games I straight up couldn't run and mostly those are optimization issues (Jedi survivor), but between the performance boost plus AMD FMF I'm able to get stable frames in any game, currently playing TOTK at stable 30fps 🤙

    I think I'm a member of the "This'll do..." group of Steam Deck users. I have been incredibly happy with my Top-tier Gen1 SD, and as much as I'd love to have the better screen of the OLED (i have crummy eyesight), I've never felt that the LCD was a problem. I don't feel like I need a true Gen2 device, at least until VRR, and even then I might still need to look past it to whether or not the SD GEn2 gets ACTUAL hardware bumps. I also have some quality-of-life hardware updates (2TB SSD, clear-back with integrated APU heatsink) that I'm not really interested in migrating or replacing on a newer unit. I'm perfectly happy where I am, and with the wealth of content the Deck supports, I'm not getting any FOMO.

      my eyesight is good, but the LCD, however, destroys my eyes giving me severe eye fatigue while playing games such as subnautica for not longer than 1h of gameplay, while on my pc screen i can spend all the day playing and having 0 issues, the effect shows up on games where you have to be paying a lot of attention to details. a lot of people have described the same effects on several ocasions including games such as RDR2
      getting the oled steam deck may be an annoyance because it was announced like 2-3 months after i got my regular SD, so it is still pretty new.. i would higly prefer to replace the unit with a SD2 for several reasons tho.

  • @anthonyalexander5607

    I dont understand how someone has not brought to market a 90-100 Wh battery that fits the steam mold but includes a back plate with a small bump to double the size available. it would still be secure and would ideally double the battery life of most users. Everyone I know with a steam deck already pays 60-70 bucks for a solid external battery pack for that exact reason. the market is there its just waiting. There are several million potential customers that would make that leap today, particularly if its plug and play.

      I honestly believe that this would compromise the portability of the device as holding it in your hands would get uncomfortable much quicker due to the added weight. When it comes to handhelds every gram counts and Steam Deck is sitting in a very comfortable zone. Powerbanks already fill the niche of extra power on-the-go. Making a battery like you're suggesting would be a huge risk for any company.

This channel and others like it are still relevant to me, especially since I hope to use SteamOS eventually, and Steam as a launcher/retailer/controller modifier has become a game changer for handhelds, Steam Deck or not

    So croc being on consoles already kills the DRM free argument, but even beyond that, Steam absolutely supports DRM free games. It's up to the developer if they want to incorporate DRM on their release, Steam just makes it easy to do if the developer wants it.
    And the thing about GoG being totally DRM free, while true, is a bit misleading. While you can download an offline installer to archive till the end of time, which I highly recommend if you have the extra storage space laying around, games can still be delisted from the GoG store, so they can disappear. Not even GoG has perpetual rights to games on their store (except their own games of course) so it's only yours forever if you archived the installer somewhere safe.
    I'm not trying to argue for Steam or against GoG, I absolutely buy games on both stores. I just think the perception of GoG being superior because they talk big about their DRM free system is not fully understood. Croc could absolutely have been on both stores and been DRM free on both of them, reaching a potentially wider audience that way.

    • @fgregerfeaxcwfeffece

  • @TomRedknap
    @TomRedknap 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Suggestion as a guide for a future video:
    This update allows an OLED Deck to turn on a TV via waking up via controller (I know you already said this in this video).
    BUT there is a way to wake from sleep on the standard LED steam deck via controller. I tested it myself last night. It works and I think most LED deck owners would love to know about this if they use a official dock.
    By leveraging the xbox for windows 10 usb controller dongle plugged into the back of the dock, and installing XONE drivers via desktop mode to support it, you can wake an LED deck from sleep despite the LED deck "not having bluetooth wake" limitation.
    With the new dock update giving HDMI CEC support, this allows the same "wake deck and turn on TV" capability on an LED deck that you get as standard from this update with an OLED deck.

    If I had to guess, I'd say Steam Deck 2 would come in late 2025/early 2026.

  • @MadsterV
    @MadsterV วันที่ผ่านมา

    My only gripe with the Steam Deck is the docking: it's just a stand and you have to plug a cable on top. Best console dock so far is the WiiU/3DS, though I would like an on/off switch on that dock so I don't have to unplug it, ever.
    Having the option between USB and docking means more connectors so I get the choice to not do that, but you could instead have a detachable USB-to-dock adapter in a groove, so when the dock adapter is on it's flush at the bottom (with guide holes) and when you remove the adapter, it's a small hole and the USB plug goes at the bottom. This allows for custom docks with custom adapters, in case anyone wants to try new ideas! (magnetic, anyone?)
    You'd have to sell separate adapters in case you misplace it, of course.
    Oh, why docking? HDMI+mouse+keyboard. The Deck is my second gaming PC.

      Absolutely. I'm glad they're thinking of their hardware from the perspective of a platform provider. Generational hardware revisions mean you have increased consumer confidence that their purchase will be a worthwhile investment that will be supported for a meaningful amount of time and increased incentive for developers to optimize for that hardware.
      Also, I think the revitalization of the steam machine concept as standardized generational hardware competitively prices against consoles would go a long way toward keeping PC gaming accessible at a time when discreet GPU's can cost as much as a used car.

    I think they should just release a more or less drop in replacement every like 3-5 years taking advantage of efficiency improvements in hardware. That seems to be about the cycle now where you get significant performance increases while at the same time reducing power requirements. Also memory gets cheaper. So double the RAM at some point.

    all the older gamers i know are either rocking 5+ year old hardware or just built a new PC after not building one for 5-7 years.

    I think the update screwed up my boot animation. It goes "dun dun" like the original default did, before it loads the boot animation. I removed the boot animation and set it back to default, and now it goes "dun dun" pauses for a second, then goes "dun dun" AGAIN then the zoom sound. So how do I fix this? I only want it to do the normal "dun dun..zzzooommm" and not "dun dun....... dun dun..zzzooommmmm"

    I really do think a 4 core Zen5 and 12 RDNA 3.5/4CUs would be a generational uplift as long as it gets a 192 bit memory bus. This is a custom chip after all, why not give it the bandwidth, and RAM capacity everyone has been wanting.
    With a 192 bit memory bus they could use the much cooler running DDR5 4800 run everything in 1:1 and still get more bandwith than a 9700G with DDR5 9000 pumping 20w just into memory
    And, i hear that part of the spec for DDR5 is shutting off some channels when not in use, so maybe you get a 30w mode when docked that uses all 3 channels/192 bit, but when handheld balanced modeit drops down to 15w 128 bit, and then eco mode down to 5w and 64 bit.
    I do wonder if using 3D packaging Valve, AMD, and TSMC can make a low powered 3D stacked APU
    Instead of a small cache chiplet, on top of a small compute chiplet, make a monolithic compute chipliet with CPU and GPU cores, then stack that on top of IO paired with LOTS of cache, say 512MB of L4 cache shared between CPU and GPU 32MB of L3 for the CPU, and 192MB of L3 for the GPU then the APU wouldnt have to go out to RAM as often saving power, the question is, how much power, would it be enough to get the same performance as a 192 bit memory bus with just 128bit? Would it allow for a 4000MT/s 192 bit memory bus that just sips power compared to the current 128 bit 5500MT/s
    OR is the whole think going to use as much power as a 256 bit memory bus, without the benefits

    I wish they would make the steam deck support VR.

Some of them are over $2000 and I am a console gamer and now a PC user with the steam deck so those prices are really expensive for me and a really good graphics card being $500 that’s the same price as much as a PS5 or Xbox series X, but I do understand that you can do more stuff with a PC versus a gaming console

    Still no racing wheel support, but at least the arch and kernel versions are more recent.

The constant stream of Windows updates and the way they break so many devices is wasting time I'd rather spend playing a racing game.

Still, plenty of games you can still play on the deck, but personally I might be swayed by an Ally 2 (X)

The BIOS is the culprit. Reverted with deck bios manager and it works as before. Valve said i could pay 200€ for them to look at it. f7a132 bios is a dud, the f7a121 works though. Now i have blocked all updates because it would just autoupdate and give the same problem again. Hope the next Bios update fix this, untill then no updates on mine.

    Something on the steam deck that is very annoying and I don’t know if this was a bug or intended, but I saw on TH-cam that you can go on desktop mode install your games on steam and then turn the display off and it will continue to download, but the only thing with that Mine even though I have it plugged up to the power adapter when the screen goes black, it disconnects from the Internet and if I was downloading the game, that’s annoying because it stops and then it messes up and I have the OLED so I won’t be able to download games with my screen off because I won’t be playing games when it’s downloading and I also heard from TH-cam that OLED screens if they’re left on too long, they can get Berlin if the screen is not moving with a picture or something
