Not to downplay the rest, but oh my god, that 'hold to turbo' macro is genius. Here I am mapping it to back paddle buttons like a sucker.

Steam Input also offers a small feature that a lot of people probably missed and I don't blame them. It's Anti-Deadzone Buffer. The issue it solves is that a lot of old games like the ones for PS2 have artificial deadzone around 20% of the whole stick movement. That is especially noticeable in racing games, but with anti-deadzone buffer you can basically remove that deadzone entirely. Absolute game changer for me! Try it for yourself and you will be amazed.

@delfrickintree775

definitely a great feature. it made resident evil revelations playable because the default deadzones are horrible

The steam input updates are awesome. Only thing missing is being able to use it as an actual controller for PC.

Too bad they no longer sell the Steam Controller. Although it isn't perfect; it's great as a keyboard/mouse replacement using Steam Input, but it kinda sucks as a regular controller as it is quite awkward (especially with smaller hands) to use the A/B/X/Y buttons on it. They're just too far left/down from the natural resting place of your thumb, since that's where they put the large circular touchpad.

Hi Bill, I just want to let you know, I know most of this stuff, but I keep listening while I'm doing the dishes because the blend of your voice with the background music is so relaxing. Thank you.

36:34 correction, Its not what time it is, It is how much time you have left before the battery runs out (approximately)

the VRAM/UMA Frame Buffer setting is the "Minimum" allocated on boot, linux and the steam deck can dynamically allocate more if it needs it and more ram is available, you dont need to mess with that unless you have a specific game where the ram is being eaten by the cpu/game leaving too little for your gfx allocation. Typically only windoze users need to worry about that setting.

Damn the Sd card thing is nice in the killswitch

Hi Nerdnest. Theres has been a wifi adapter issue circulating since day 1 release of the oled model where the wifi adapter goes into power saving mode after waking from sleep/off. This causes issues for ppl whos trying to remote play with the device. Only known ”fix” is to toggle wifi off/on, and then you can remote play reliably. Is this an issue you or any ppl on your pod have encountered? I heard that wifi issues could stem from what AP you’re using. Do you mind sharing what AP you are using? :)

Cryoutils is not working as expected on 3.6. Valve switched to zram and disables the swapfile. The utility needs some re-work now as Valve now trashes the swappiness and swapfile on 3.6 and restarts zram regardless of setting a swapfile and swappiness on subsequent reboots.

I have a small 3 in 2 out powered USB switcher that I have connected to both my steamdeck dock and my pc. Although I also run the dock through a capture card so I can split a single ultra wide monitor between multiple tasks so I'm not your typical use case lol

People should check out tomtoc armor G-12... seems like a fairly new superslim hardcase for the Steam Deck... Unlike killswitch and similar protections the Armor G12 allow your steam deck to be "naked" when you play. but protected when in a bag. It's not particularly attractive design-wise, but it's basically been the accessory I have been wanting ever since the Steam Deck released!

I didn't know that about quick setting the steam inputs.

Got my oled about 4 weeks ago now and I love it. The ONLY issue I have with it is when I apply a little force to the top right corner of the deck it sounds crunchy, when I press down on the right stick it kinda sounds like a squeak along with the face buttons but it’s only on the left side. Although I could care less it can get annoying during space flights in no mans sky. Other than that, the deck is awesome.

Still have mine [LCD] to this day 🔥. I wonder if tbe OLED model is the one that players are able to have HDR mode on/off, etc. 🤔

I started getting this more and more as I tinkered with the Deck. Meaning using add ons like Decky Loader and other non stock software. I basically solved it by Factory resetting and reimaging SteamOS and keeping it pretty much stock. Sure I miss those add ons, but the stability is worth it. I found anything that requires the Sudo password to install led me to issues down the road. I guess because it writes and rewrites to places it normally can’t without the password. Worked for me.

Hotbar menu = Minecraft Java! Soooo good. At least for me, my hotbar in MC is always the same - tools from 1-6, 7-8 active blocks, 9 food, 0 torches, so I can reliably configure a hotbar with icons and everything for Minecraft and it's so fuggin convenient.

With the kill options, anything super-quick equivalent to alt+f4 (windows) or ctrl+esc (linux)? I may or may not save scum on deaths in the mines in Stardew Valley...

Ай бұрын

Cryo Utlities is a bunch of scripts that rearrange memory and swap files to be more efficient. It also moves your shaders to be in the same disk as where your games are installed if you happen to have some on your SSD and some on an SD card. Helps you see a reasonable performance boost in a lot of games. There are a few instances where it actually makes performance a bit worse, like RDR2, but it has for the most part made my experience better.

@dewinter1411

Cryo Utilities and other software that requires a Sudo password and the running of scripts to install, has always led me to issues later on. I reset and reimaged the deck and haven’t reinstalled those things and haven’t had any issues. Cryo is useful but the way it moves stuff around and changes things led to some strange file errors and other issues.

@drew1921 tbf, for most modern games this number is mostly irrelevant, because the games are now addressing system RAM when they run out of VRAM and since the system RAM and VRAM on a Steam Deck are using the exact same chips it doesn't cause any performance drops. It's mostly for the older titles that may give you an error if they don't detect enough VRAM.
