The Steam Deck is my first PC and I've had many issues over these months I've had it and you guys have helped me solve every one of them.

I am now able to give advice about Linux and the Steam Deck thanks to you. I have helped multiple people with issues they have had now and that's awesome.

So if any of you have any issues, leave a comment and I'll try to help as much as I can. Once again, thank you

Map L1 and R1 bumpers to L4 and L5, then map the stick clicks to L5 and R5 back buttons. I can't believe it took me a couple of months to work out a use for those buttons!

Before switching, I had to operate both the bumper and the trigger with one index finger. Now my index never leaves the trigger, and my middle finger operates the bumper using L4 and R4.

The stick clicks never felt good, on any controller. Feels like they take damage from enthusiastic clicks. They work a lot better with back buttons using the ring fingers.

I'm sure many know and do this already, but for those that don't, maybe this will level up the deck experience.

Edit: messed up the button numbers. Fixed

Never played a Darksiders game before. Decided to try Darksiders 2 (Deathfinitive Edition remaster) and it's amazing. Perfect comfort couch game with solid combat and great dungeon crawling / puzzle solving. Runs at solid 60 fps.

Will definitely pick up the other titles including Darksiders Genesis as well.

I was just thinking about that. Being the Deck a portable computer, it would be great if people started to organize LAN parties just like 20 years ago. I’m 28 and loved to go out with my dad and see him and his friends play Diablo 2, Age of Empires, StarCraft 2 and later Warcraft and Counter Strike in the first years of the 2000s. Am I being nostalgic? You might bet it. But I’d love to see such moments being lived again

Before the update I started a new game on gta v in single player. Last time I played this game was in 2013/2014 on the ps3. Well, it was good before the update with a decent 45 fps after the update this old game can’t reach more than 32 fps and it’s completely unstable. I’m so disappointed… it ruined my experience wtf happened ? Do we lost performance forever ?

I can now suffer everywhere! Thanks to the steam deck I’ll be able to die to the same boss multiple times during my lunch break at work or outside, it’s amazing. So far I have tried dark souls 3 and Sekiro and both run at 55-60 fps without any tinkering.

Hello Everyone!

Here are the potential new rules we've come up with after our first community survey's results that will be going into effect after November 1st.

If you have any concerns, questions or opinions about these changes, please voice them below and we might change some things.

Onto the potential "r/SteamDeck 2024 November Patch Notes":

To make the overall post quality higher in r/SteamDeck we will be more strict about how posts can be made. These changes are based on the first community survey results.

Stricter rules:

  • Posts about a game, an accessory, a setup powered by a Steam Deck or hardware mods must have additional details to bring something worth discussing about or bring value to others.
    • For games: Include the name in title and Steam Deck experience (performance, controls etc...)
    • For accessories, setups, hardware mods: Write down your experience and parts you've used so you can help others (no need to ask for part names again in comments or inspire others to do more research etc...)

Removals:

  • "Should I get a Steam Deck", "Should I wait for a sale", "LCD or OLED" and other similar questions:
    • Automatically removed by Automod with helpful resources attached to make deciding easier / to answer some questions
  • Poorly made images / videos (wrong orientation, barely visible details etc...)
  • Shipping related questions (excluding stolen Deck or other unusual happenings)

Limitations:

  • "What are you playing this day / weekend?" will be limited to a weekly megathread.
  • "Generic pictures" and New Steam Deck posts will be ONLY ALLOWED ON WEEKENDS
    • We've decided to not completely remove picture posts as there are still some people who enjoy them and they also help the subreddit feel alive when there aren't really new things happening in the Steam Deck world.

Rule clarifications / revamps:

  • Promotional Rules for Developers, Content Creators, and Manufacturers
    • Paid Items: All promotional posts related to paid items, including hardware modifications, accessories, software (games, plugins, etc.), must receive prior approval from the moderation team. We encourage transforming these promotions into events, such as AMAs (Ask Me Anything), to foster interaction with the community.
    • Content Creators (Videos, Articles, etc.): If you're a content creator, please reach out to us via modmail to seek "verification." This process helps us assess the quality of your content and it's value to the community, ensuring it doesn't come across as spammy.
      • Verified Creators: If approved, you may post 2-4 times per month.
      • Non-Verified Creators: If not verified, you are allowed to post 1-2 times per month. Regardless of verification status, we'll provide you with a unique user flair to help you stand out within the community.
    • Free Software Updates: Posts related to free software (FOSS/OSS) updates focused on Linux gaming or the Steam Deck can be shared without any prior approval to keep the community informed about important developments.
    • Engagement Encouragement: When posting promotional content, we encourage you to engage with the community by responding to comments and questions and by being in the comments. This helps create a more interactive and supportive environment.
    • Transparency in Promotions: All promotional posts must clearly disclose any affiliations or sponsorships. Transparency builds trust within the community and helps users make informed decisions about the products and content being promoted.
  • Some older rules will be rewritten to be easier to understand and irrelevant rules will be removed:
    • Removed:
      • Shipping megathread rule (replaced with "What are you playing this week?")
    • Rewritten:
      • Photo rules into seperate rules (see above)
      • Self-promotion rules (see above)
      • Giveaway/Buying/Selling rules

Other changes:

  • New post flairs (Setup, Accessories, New Deck, Storytime, Article, Hardware Mod, Gaming On Deck)
  • Minimum karma requirement for commenting and posting to reduce spam
  • New reporting and removal reasons
  • To minimize redundancy, links (e.g., to articles or videos) may only be posted once a month to avoid multiple threads on the same content

We hope with these changes the subreddit can highlight more high-effort, discussion worthy and technical posts that both new and old community members can enjoy together!

(I hope you all like the formatting but these "patch notes" won't be a regular thing so keep that in mind, just thought it would be fitting in a gaming community :D)

All we ever see is Instagram like photos of Steam Deck and nothing else. There's minimal discussion around other aspects of the Deck, game help, game function help, game settings help, nope almost nothing of that, but;

"Am I doing this right?"

"Finally gave in and pulled the trigger, got my delivery today"

"The courier just came in today"

"Can't wait to get it on so and so day"

It's a bit repetitive honestly.
