- Comment on Resolution for output to monitor? 1 day ago:
You can set game resolution to 720p, and then use the Deck’s FSR to upscale to 1080p without much of a performance hit.
- Comment on Steam Machine update, Valve now says all three new products will ship this year (Updated) 3 days ago:
They’re probably going to have an option to buy it bundled with the Steam Machine for a discount, if the release it early then people who buy it as a stand-alone would feel like they missed out on that deal.
- Comment on Steam Machine update, Valve now says all three new products will ship this year (Updated) 4 days ago:
Not a lot of good options at this point:
-
Wait for RAM to come back down to hit a more competitive price point. Could take years, during which the hardware performance is aging and losing competitive edge.
-
Release this year at a higher price point, and risk the price killing adoption rates, potentially dooming the hardware.
At least with option #2 we will get the steam controller sooner, since it’s price probably won’t be negatively impacted by RAM.

- Comment on [Discussion] What are you playing on your Deck? - March 2026 1 week ago:
I’ve mostly been playing Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza on Hawaii. It’s been a great time so far, easily the silliest Yakuza game I’ve played. I prefer the turn based combat of the newer mainline games to the beat-em-up combat of this one and the originals, but I’m still having a great time with it.
Been playing Monster Hunter Wilds with a friend, and as you know, Deck performance is pretty rough. However I was able to get it to run acceptably enough.
Finally been replaying an older game I had called “A Robot Named Fight”. It’s basically Super Metroid, but as a rogue-like. It’s a lot of fun, really captures a lot of the fun of those games while having every run feel different.

- Comment on Impossible to walk slowly in Uncharted 4 using steamdeck controls. 2 weeks ago:
A few ideas:
-
You may want to try disabling steam input for the game, and just using the game’s built in controller support. Go to the game’s page in your steam library, hit the gear, go to properties>controller, and then pick disable steam input. Then try the game and see if it works any better.
-
On PC if the game supports a walk keybind, with steam input enabled you could bind that to a back button, and then hold it down to walk.
-
You said you tweaked deadzones, but was that in the game’s settings or in the steam input settings? You may want to try editing the other one (ie lowering the deadzone size in steam controller settings, adjusting the deadzone size/type in game, and adjusting the stick response curve in game)

- Comment on It's 2026, how are you playing Battle.net games these days? 2 weeks ago:
NonSteamLaunchers may be the easiest way, but it’s no longer on the decky store due to some drama stuff. Instead you download the zip file, unzip it, and then place the whole folder into ~/homebrew/plugins. Restart steam and it should show up.
Otherwise I’ve used bottles on desktop to install it. Unfortunately Lutris installs are becoming increasingly unreliable in my experience.
- Comment on Setup 3 weeks ago:
It is rendering at a lower setting, and then using fsr/etc to upscale. It’s basically necessary to run the game at all.
However the shaky frame rate issues are probably more an optimization issue, and will be hard (or impossible) to get rid of.

Thanks, posted this from my phone and didn’t even notice the title issues.

- Comment on Here's how I fixed my Steam Deck when it stopped turning on. 3 weeks ago:
It apparently used to say it on Valve’s official FAQ for the steam deck, but it’s since been rewritten to only mention the bios method. I found a 4 year old reddit post where they directly quoted the older version of the page.
I also confirmed on my Steam Deck that it works, I was able to get the double blue led flash (which confirms you’ve entered battery storage mode on the OLED) by plugging the deck in, turning it off, holding vol+ and QAM for 10 seconds, and then unplugging the Deck (while still holding the buttons)
- Comment on Here's how I fixed my Steam Deck when it stopped turning on. 3 weeks ago:
He said it was the quick access button (QAM), which is the “. . .” button, not the select button. You can also see him pressing it in the video with his right thumb.
- Comment on Setup 3 weeks ago:
Remnant 2 is acceptable, I played through it with a friend some months back. Can’t use any framegen with it (even lsfg) or the input lag is horrible, and the framerate is never stable, but it was able to hold a shaky 30 for basically my whole playthrough, while looking decent.
- Comment on Here's how I fixed my Steam Deck when it stopped turning on. 3 weeks ago:
Huh, is that a new shortcut, or did they get confused about the UEFI reset shortcut:
Hold down Volume Down+Power+⋯ (“Three Dots” button under the right touchpad) to reset the UEFI settings to their defaults (keep the two buttons other than Power held after the first blink of the LED: the LED will blink during the operation and stop once done, then release the buttons).
I’ve never heard of volume up+… as a functional shortcut before.

- Comment on A New Decky Loader Plugin Can Translate Whatever Is On Screen 3 weeks ago:
I’ve also run into games on steam that specifically failed to identify my language on Linux. I can generally tell what options I need to pick to change a language back to English, but some langauges like Chinese and Korean are difficult to to navigate.
- Comment on A New Decky Loader Plugin Can Translate Whatever Is On Screen 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s definitely more for a specific groups of people, such as those who play old untranslated emulated titles and such.

- Comment on Why $700 could be a "death sentence" for the Steam Machine 4 weeks ago:
People are looking at the price of the steam decks and non-pro versions of consoles.
- Comment on Why $700 could be a "death sentence" for the Steam Machine 4 weeks ago:
The m.2 SSD is easily accessible, it comes with a 2230 m.2 (same size as the Steam Deck), but has room to install a full size 2280 m.2. There’s also a high speed microSD slot for even easier space upgrades, and microSDs with games can be swapped directly between the Deck and Machine.
For RAM, it uses laptop DDR5. It is user upgradable, but isn’t as easy to access as the m.2 drive is.
- Comment on Why $700 could be a "death sentence" for the Steam Machine 4 weeks ago:
They were supposedly able to take a loss on the original Steam Decks, at least the lower priced 64GB models. There’s also an argument to be made that this device is primarily competing with consoles, where Steam doesn’t have a monopoly. Steam also allows games from other stores to be run on their unlocked device, it’s not their fault that Epic decided not to make an offical linux launcher.
But I’m not a lawyer, and I’m sure Epic will try to start anti-trust investigations over anything they can.

- Comment on AMD say the Steam Machine is "on track" for an early 2026 release 4 weeks ago:
Valve just announced they’re still targeting a release in the first half of 2026, but they don’t know when and it’s uncertain due to component pricing.
There’s a dedicated post about it in this community that went up a couple hours ago.

- Comment on AMD say the Steam Machine is "on track" for an early 2026 release 5 weeks ago:
Usually when you think of something being anti-competitive, it’s because it’s bad for consumers. But you can also be anti-competitive by doing things that are appealing to consumers in the short term (like selling a product at a loss) but help ensure market domination for the longer term.
Valve’s position here is tricky, the steam machine would have a small marketshare compared to consoles, but as a PC it could be considered furthering Valve’s PC game “monopoly”.
- Comment on AMD say the Steam Machine is "on track" for an early 2026 release 5 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure they’re going to wait to release the controller alongside the Steam Machine.
Unfortunately that would mean that if RAM/etc prices cause a Machine delay, we’ll probably see the controller get delayed as well.
- Comment on I think I've just bricked my steam deck 5 weeks ago:
That button combo is supposed to reset UEFI settings, and possibly APU/Power Logic. I’ve heard of valve support recommending it before, and it’s reference on the Steam Deck Arch Wiki page.
