Rapidly swapping loadouts apparently could crash lobbies, sending everyone back to orbit.

The & is the html escape code for an ampersand (&) symbol, which is used to separate query params in a url – it appears like this has been re-encoded so the single & in the URL becomes & by something breaking the link. If you change all of the &s to $ it works. it’s not really an “amp” link in the “Google Amp” meaning.

Also after posting this comment, it appears to be Lenny’s url encoding, I think I’ve fixed it but if not, remove the amp; from the 3 sections of the url you see it and it’ll work

Maybe, but unless we’re in there, it’s hard to say for sure. Battleye supports it but given the clusterfuck that is the Tiger engine, they might be using an old or heavily modified version. Especially given how easily cheaters are getting past it atm, I would not assume they’re keeping up to date on it without some evidence.

Stadia limits the player’s control of the system substantially and might not have even needed the anticheat, or the same anticheat, given it’s closer to a console in terms of user’s ability to run programs alongside the game to modify memory.

The Deck is designed for SteamOS and SteamOS is pretty much designed for the Deck. They’re chocolate and peanut butter.

I feel Valve’s Windows support is not great – it’s a custom APU for them so you’re getting your drivers through Valve, not directly from AMD’s Adrenalin. The APU drivers are from March, I’m not sure if we’ve seen any Linux improvements since then on the APU side but months without GPU driver updates to address game compat issues doesn’t encourage me.

They don’t officially support dual booting AFAICT, and given the size of modern games + Windows, I wouldn’t want to dual boot on any of the offered SSDs tbh.

If you’ve got a deck and really want a Windows-only game, it works. But given the easy availability of the Ally, and the upcoming non-extreme Ally, I can’t imagine recommending anyone who wants to primarily play a Windows-only game get a Deck.

I’ve done it so it’s definitely possible, though I can’t remember if I used Steam link or Moonlight to do it. It was also pre-Lightfall, so they definitely could’ve changed it.

estiny has some anti-overlay stuff enabled that limits what can pop up on top of it, which might also be affecting some form of streaming?

Unless something has changed very recently, Destiny 2 does not work under Proton because the Anti-cheat isn’t compatible. Windows is an option, but I’d really recommend a dedicated Windows handheld for that instead of the Deck.

I haven’t tried Windows on the Deck itself, but based on 6800u performance, you’re looking at maybe getting a solid 30fps on lowest settings. Destiny 2 is not a very well optimized game atm, and even the Ally at 20w can have trouble holding good performance in Neomuna or the Tower.

All just my opinion/feelings on this shit.

The problems have been building since last year. Plunder and Seraph were less stable and more buggy. Plunder was kinda panned as a bad season by some, but between a Showcase promising us features we’d been wanting for years (in-game Loadouts, in-game LFG, a renewed focus on the ritual playlists, probably more I’m forgetting) and Seraph’s awesome story and (imo) fun missions, some hype came back for a lot of us.

Lightfall itself was a mixed bag, but they eventually made progress on the stability issues (credit where it’s due, shit is a lot more stable for me). It had story issues, but they weren’t WORSE than previous story issues imo, just a regression. It wasn’t a GREAT place, but if they fixed stability it would be ok.

Then the SotG comes out, which says (loosely translated) “Stop asking us to make more PVP/Gambit maps, we’re never gonna do it like you want because it wouldn’t make us enough money. Also no more free armor, because y’all didn’t appreciate our basic ass armor sets as much as the ones that make you into a fucking t-rex, just pay up piggies”

If they had not said anything, it would’ve been better than posting a “We, a company purchased for billions of dollars, can’t do the #1 thing our fanbase is asking for because it wouldn’t make us enough money”.

There is some good news in there, I guess. Favoriting shaders is the kinda basic QoL stuff we should’ve seen years ago when they redid shaders, but better late than never.

As long as tools to unclip the shell aren’t consider specialized, I think almost all existing handhelds are gonna meet the actual requirements here - they just have to be user replaceable, not use swappable, without the use of specialized tools or thermal energy. If you can unscrew it, disconnect the old battery and connect the new one, it complies. It’s really only an issue in waterproof devices, where they have to glue everything to seal it.

No. Steamos is only really great on deck because of the whole making the hardware and software thing. If other people use it it loses that and you end up with a computer with a less compatible OS.

Looks cool, and I’ll definitely check it out once the initial user bug is fixed :)

Looks like the mount definitions require the :ro (or maybe :rq?) at the end unlike regular docker volumes, that was the issue.

What’s required to map a folder into one of the containers (i.e. retroarch)? I’ve attempted to edit config.toml to include it, but the main wolf container immediately crashes on boot due to interrupt code 11. There’s no other error messages, just a binary stack trace.

The folder exists. I’ve tried directly mounting the host path as well as mounting it into Wolf-Wolf-1 and using the local path, but nothing works. Even perfectly mirrored paths don’t work. Wolf appears to be running as root so I don’t think it’s a permissions error? I can certainly access the folders. They are a locally mounted NFS, but I’ve used this with dozens of containers without issue.
