D2R is flawed everywhere because it does not have a pure offline mode. Not even on the Switch.

Looking forward to a mod deleting this post and linking to the megathread like they did with the last post like this. It would be fine if the megathread actually included this basic info but nope.

In Austin. No delivery date yet.

I’ve been trying to reproduce the 200/1040 issue and could use some help. While I see the clock speed behavior in some games (not all, only less demanding games) I can’t get it to create an actual problem (i.e. stutters or audio glitches).

Can someone please post the specific game and settings they’re seeing this issue with? This includes your TDP setting, framerate cap, and if you have screen tearing enabled or not.

Hi.

You have 0 reason to believe me when I say this, but here goes: At least one person at Valve is aware of the issue and is thinking through what might be causing it.

I will update here if I know more.

The Steam Deck OLED I ordered last week.

Austin. Got a tracking number but it’s not initialized. Order was at 12:24.

You didn’t order your deck on July 17th 2021. You reserved it.

As someone who did the same, this wait somehow feels worse.

Please contact Valve support.

The PlayStation Portal is a more complete product at launch for what it claims to be. That was not true for the Deck.

The Deck OLED got a 9 from them.

Also review scores don’t matter.

A couple things for everyone in this thread:

1. Steam Remote Play for HDR games probably doesn’t work yet. I know that using the Deck as the host definitely doesn’t stream HDR content, it tone maps it down to SDR. It’s unclear when that will change.

2. Moonlight currently cannot do HDR on the steam deck. They are waiting for the next release for ffmpeg before they can add this functionality.

Waiter, but I have grip tape on the top and bottom (avoiding the vents) so my fingers can be away from the screen.

I too choose this guy’s birthday

Very nice. I got my OG Deck almost on my birthday. It was supposed to be delivered that day but then FedEx delayed it by a day

Use the Sunshine and Moonlight combo if you want the lowest latency and best image quality. It’s a hair more work than remote play but it’s well worth it IMO.

PC connected via wifi is going to lead to larger latency. No way around that unfortunately.

Always have been

And you’d remember correctly 99.99% of the time.

Good design isn’t about the 99.99%. It’s about the 0.01%.

Step 1: take a screenshot of a completely black background

Step 2: open that screenshot when you’re downloading games

(I do agree though that this should be officially supported, but there’s more that goes into it. For example: what if you forget that just the screen is off and throw a running deck into a case and then into a backpack? So it wouldn’t be a simple feature. It would need to have mitigations built in, like turning the screen back on if the gyro detects movement or something).

From a screen standpoint this doesn’t matter that much. The screen does look a LOT better on 3.5 than it did before but if you have a reasonably modern phone at hand you can just do a comparison of its screen with the Deck IRL.

Good way to know if OLED is an upgrade that’s worth it for you.

I asked and was told that a higher refresh rate doesn’t consume any significant amount of extra power by itself. The power consumed by generating the frame is much higher than drawing it.

So running 40/40 and 40/80 should be basically the same in terms of power use.
