It’s not worth the price of admission. Games repeatedly don’t work. Hogwarts required I download windows c + + to play a triple title. Go to YouTube for a fix and it’s 20 plus moves and almost all comments say it didn’t work and they gave up. I’m doing this public service so another person who just wants to enjoy playing games on a $500 dollar piece of equipment.

    Literally just downloaded it and played it after seeing this no issue lol.

    Big skill issue sounds like.

    That’s very strange i tested Hogwarts 2 mounts ago and had no issues, installation went without any input from me and after downloading had to just set the graphics settings. The only thing that required a lot of fiddling on my side was emudeck…

    What? I played Hogwarts when it first came out and it worked fine. I mean, it ran like ass but it loaded up without issue.

    I’m using it to finally catch up on my backlog. So if you enjoy playing Fallout 4 on the couch (or wherever you want) the Deck is the way to go.

    If you want to play very recent AAA titles, idk man. I wouldn’t even trust my 500 bucks desktop PC to do that.

    OP is off his rocker from doing too much blow with Coolio and believing in UFOs.

    Definitely buy one if you want one, BUT remember it is quite a low spec device, running Linux and windows games through proton. Use Proton DB and help from the community ! Yet indeed, do not expect a full « console » approach, as even verified games might require tinkering. Edit : To be clear, I freaking love mine and consider it to be my main gaming device at this point.

    I’m playing hogwarts, even with mods. Lol.

    Maybe you should learn how to navigate your device instead of this BS

      I got my refund. I already owned the game thru epic and I play a 49 ultra wide.

      The steam deck version was for my wife’s bday.

      Microsoft c ++ required.

      Not doing extra shit for a hand held

    So install it with protontricks in a few minutes?

    It’s annoying though and they’ll probably patch it soon as it’s a Verified title.

    This is like saying don’t buy an Xbox because Starfield crashed a few times…

      Nope. Loser company makes loser product that required yt to run.

      Don’t make a product this complicated for video games. It’s a hand held and should act like one
