Oh no doubt, Steam Link is super easy to use. Once quality catches up it seriously might become the Stream Deck by default at home.

Does Sunshine/Moonlight still blow Steam Remote Play out of the water or does this bring them up to par?

Additionally, this isn’t new IP like Cybeypunk was, you’re not designing in-game systems from the ground up or hashing out the gameplay loop…you’re just improving on an already existing formula that is well received. The main challenge is the new engine, but as you’ve said they will also get a lot of problems solved with UE too. I think it’ll be fine in the end.

They botched it on a lot of fronts. Them not getting a nom makes sense to me.

Real talk inventory and weight limits are 99% time completely useless mechanics that detract from gameplay.

All you have to do is switch to the stable update, toggle off wifi, reboot and then reboot again. If they didn’t patch yet then it’ll get stuck in verification regardless of the update channel. Go try it.

It happened in Prod update channel so not sure why you’re arguing about Beta
- Comment on Stuck on Verifying Installation after most recent Beta update...basically bricked my deck 1 year ago:
For fucks sake it bricked the prod update too under the same circumstances , so now what? What is the genius response now? Or does it EXTRA HIGHLIGHT that they aren’t even using the beta environment to sus out bugs correctly, because no way this should’ve gone untested in the lower environments even before this…its happened multiple times now, maybe MAYBE you should include the same circumstances in your pipeline tests but what the fuck would I know?

Do you think a beta update channel for a consumer device should not be treated with the same care as prod, do you think it is in a hardware manufacturer best interest to even allow the possibility of a mass RMA event with an untested update? And seeing as how this ALSO affected the main production release as well, it seems as though yes their SDET practices aren’t the best and probably should be revamped. This also isn’t the first time this has happened.
Beta is not for experimentation for a hardware company and no business is going to pushing a public beta channel with a bricking update on released hardware.
But yeah, talk to me about your opinion of beta and we can see if my entire career’s experience at fortune 100 company in software engineering can be invalidated simply because har har beta doesn’t mean prod trust me bro.

Yeah I don’t mind tinkering, work in dev so get extra annoyed when things like this happen in production, no way soft bricking should even be in the realm of acceptable possibilities for an update. Shit happens though I guess 🤷

More likely to RMA than go that route. Valve should’ve QA’d their updates so should cost em some money if they’re gonna push untested stuff to prod. If you gotta wipe and start over, best to do it with a fresh deck.

Just FYI this seems to be occurring with lots of decks after the most recent Beta update…may want to roll stable for a bit or avoid rebooting till a new update is out.

Nah had tried that, unfortunately both partitions lead to the same Verifying Installation screen…
