How do you use the built in microphones? [Update]
  • I have this issue as well :( I have PTT in Helldivers 2 bound to one of the back buttons, when I hit it the >)) mic icon lights up on the HUD, but no one can ever hear me. Hopefully the community can provide a fix, or some more clarification from Valve would be nice also

  • Why are SMS messages so expensive?
  • All of that is true, and makes perfect sense. It all depends on where you live, of course.

  • You guys need to try out streaming from PC and/or PS5 to Steam Deck. Technically everything runs on the SD in this scenario. I'm playing FF7 Rebirth on the SD via my PS5 right now, and it is glorious. Helldivers 2 via the gaming rig is also pretty sweet.

    Steam's built in Remote Play and Chiaki4Deck are the best!

  • If you like deckbuilders, roguelikes, or roguelike deckbuilders, try Breachway!
  • That is so cool! I had actually forgotten about this game, until I saw it in this article that includes a bunch of other recommendations that are in these genres:

    I’ve been watching this game as I enjoy this genre, and it has spaceships! Anyway, there is a demo up now, and as suspected it is great on Deck!

    I use the Keyboard and Mouse Steam input template, but touchscreen kinda works better. Give it a whirl and see what you think! Title is a link right to the store page.

    The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion
  • Been playing Helldivers 2, really fun game!
    Question about it: It offers a curved HUD option in the settings, which is really neat in the YT vids I’ve seen, especially since I have a curved monitor. I’d love to enable this, but it doesn’t work at all for me. Does it for anyone else?

  • Got Chiaki4Deck up and running, well worth it!
  • Thats Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth!

  • Got Chiaki4Deck up and running, well worth it!
  • My PS5 is wired, and my SD is the only device on the 6GHz WiFi I have up. So, imperceptible! I can count a handful of times I noticed input lag or stutter, that’s it. It’s basically cloud gaming, but sitting upstairs from the server.

  • Got Chiaki4Deck up and running, well worth it!

    Been doing quite a bit of in-home streaming from PC to Steam Deck lately, and decided to give Chiaki4Deck a try for PS5 to Steam Deck in-home streaming. Works like a charm; great graphics (including HDR), touchpad and haptics support, and QoL stuff like sleeping your PS5 when exiting the Steam Deck’s stream session.

    Here is the guide I used: https://streetpea.github.io/chiaki4deck/setup/configuration/

    Valve fixes Remote Play on Steam Deck
  • Basically the same situation here fellow Helldiver, thank you for the confirmation. Now lets get back to the front lines!!

  • Valve fixes Remote Play on Steam Deck
  • Just curious, when you do this in HD2, how do you use the mic?

  • 5 years later Valve finally gives Windows compatibility tool Proton a logo
  • Valve is a very small company of dedicated engineers and developers. Im sure the folks making things work were busy, and the company just needed a marketing person to come in. Did I get the snark level right? XD Jokes aside, neat logo!

  • Remote Play broken on Steam Deck with the February stable update
  • Can verify as a heavy Remote Play user that the update indeed breaks it entirely. Luckily, Sunlight/Moonlight still works just fine.

  • I too just discovered YouTube.

  • [Discussion] New month of a new year, new games. What are you playing on your deck? - January 2024
  • Sure, valid question. I tend to set up all my in progress games for streaming, as I spend a good chunk of time playing within my home network. I get to enjoy the games with the horsepower and high settings of my main rig, and incredible battery life on the SD.

  • [Discussion] New month of a new year, new games. What are you playing on your deck? - January 2024
  • I want to play an RTS and have Halo Wars in my library, so I’m trying to get that running over Sunshine/Moonlight and knock it off my backlog.

  • Station 2 Station. I dont think its Deck Verified yet, but it runs great. Its so easy to turn off brain, chill to the music, and lay down some train tracks and bridges while the time just disappears. If you want, you can tryhard it, which is also fun, depending on the mood.

  • How do I adjust the screen color while streaming from PC?

    I’m playing Station to Station, Cyberpunk, and Miles Morales currently. I’ve noticed when I stream from my main rig to the Deck the colors are drastically different from both what the game looks like natively on the SD and my rig’s own monitor. I’m curious as to what gives, and how/where to fix it.

    -PC has a RTX 3060, current WHQL drivers -Steam Deck OLED 512GB on Stable channel -Colors are tilted towards too much red, orange, and brown in all 3 games. But only while streaming, playing off the Deck natively it looks more…natural?

    EDIT: Preview 3.5.8 contains a fix to the issue.

    Why bother even having kickoffs?

    bleacherreport.com NFL Rule Change Results in Record-Low Kickoff Returns in Week 1 of 2023 Season

    NFL kickoff returns are increasingly becoming a thing of the past. Just 20.5 percent of kickoffs were returned in Week 1 action, which is the lowest rate on…

    NFL Rule Change Results in Record-Low Kickoff Returns in Week 1 of 2023 Season

    Why bother even having kickoffs if every kick is just going to sail out the endzone with no possibility of a return, or trying to pin the opposition deep? It was bad week 1, and bad again here in week 2.

    Just start out from the 25 and be done with kickoffs/returns entirely, instead of this farce. “Stopgap” excuse be damned.

    www.espn.com Wolff: Massa case may set 'precedent' for 2021

    Mercedes boss Toto Wolff is interested in Felipe Massa's attempt to have the 2008 F1 title overturned, believing it may set a precedent that could also change the 2021 result.

    Wolff: Massa case may set 'precedent' for 2021

    Excerpt: "Asked if the 2021 result could also be reopened if Massa is in any way successful with his legal challenge, Wolff said: "And the FIA commented on the 2021 race with a clear statement.

    "So that's why we're looking at it with interest.""

    Why do I keep getting logged out?

    I’m not a robot obviously. It’s just copy+paste from various means to get back in, but it is highly annoying.

    Hungaroring hot lap for the upcoming race

    I know the race isnt until next weekend, but I'm ready to ride. Im going to take out the Lotus Exos 125. Ive never driven this track before, so it should be a good time. I did the BMW M3 GT2 as training wheels and set 2:15. What y’all got?

    Let’s ride the M3 GT2 for a while then swap up to the Lotus Exos 125. Everybody in Assetto Corsa has these, but post a screenshot if you really send it please!

    Sim racing on Silverstone!

    This is a great track, flows well, but its quite bumpy. Im riding it in a GT2 car right now (training wheels, so to speak) and I set 2:25.103. One of my buds did 2:15.9, so Im about to tune up and run it again. What times are you guys putting in?

    P.S. We are using Assetto Corsa

    Austrian GP is up next (Red Bull Ring), sim times?

    I typically run the upcoming races in my sim rig during the week ahead when I have time, on Assetto Corsa. Anybody else in their sim or running around it on controller or Steam Deck? I'd like to see the times you all are getting in for comparison.

    You'll need to post the car you're rocking, time of day, and weather conditions if you don't mind please. Thanks in advance!
