you seem to have the wrong idea when you buy ubisoft games you down own them ubisoft does they are just lending to you their services wich they can delete the game out of your library at any time they feel like it
@@Lestibournes I’ve obviously pirated on both windows and Steamdeck but If a game isnt available on steam or I already have it on gog/epic I’ll just buy it on steam because it’s so much more annoying. And that’s with authentic games, with pirated games on steam you also gotta fine the right one as you can’t really use repacks and they aren’t designed for linux
@@LestibournesPretty easy same process as pirating on windows except you have to run the installer using proton/wine. I use a software called Bottles to run the installer install it then choose the exe to start the game and add it to steam, after that you don't have to touch the desktop again
You're not gonna regret it! I love mine and I never thought I'd get into any type of PC gaming but it being a portable handheld pretty much made it perfect for me.
I ordered my steam deck 4 weeks ago - apparently it's gonna take 6 weeks to get here but I'm still really excited to enjoy a bunch of games from my steam library and other PC libraries like epic that I haven't played + I'll easily be able to play some Minecraft modpacks with my partner rather than being stuck on Minecraft bedrock edition 😅
I just refund games with launchers, or always online garbage if they're not mp only. Already have enough annoying games with garbage launchers and don't need more. Then again I've been avoiding modern AAA and haven't run into most of these issues very often
I don’t understand having anti cheat on sports games with offline modes. EA needs to fix this. No reason why I shouldn’t be able to play the new fifa or madden on my steam deck offline
Yeah, there's no call for banning paying customers for asking legitimate questions about that status of their purchase. That alone is proof enough to me that these people have no business running a company.
The launcher problem is why I don't like to download games from Ubisoft and EA, unless there are work arounds to bypass them. Screw playing Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered! I'll just play the original with a proper unofficial remaster mod. And I'm not going to bother with any Trackmania game that goes beyond the Mania Planet entries, either.
I saw that this issue was tied to a check for a file that comes with the DLC. EAC throws a fit if you don't have it. Someone stated you can just make the file and place it in your game folder. Saw it in a thread on discussion boards. But I have no idea if that will cause any other side-effects. I just purchased the DLC. Lost some money for the steam summer sale but I'll live... Lol
Launchers and always online is 100% on the devs not Valve and having some requirement for all this extra things you ask for just to be able to sell on the stream deck will just mean devs will put less effort into things for steam deck not more, Honestly as it is Valve is doing the best they can, and it will be less friction if mechanics for the deck was put in place to make launchers easier than trying to get devs to update games from sometimes 10 years ago when they may not be making much if anything off those games any more.
I’d love to play black ops 2 zombies in a hotel that has crap WiFi, because I did that last week and it constantly booted me out even just trying to play solo
dont even waste your time playing online at hotels, libraries are your best bet but first you need to get the usb c ethernet adapter for stronger internet connection to reduce lag
Eh Im happy with my LCD Deck no need for a 1200p upgrade or an OLED deck either if i want rich colors ill just dock my deck and enjoy on the road im just busy enjoying my break times and lunch playing away to worry about color reproduction and blackest blacks not saying its not nice but wholly unnecessary for me. (I have to tell my self this to stop the itch to get a OLED Deck Im trying to wait it out till the next iteration humor me!)
I know that you mean. I've got an older LCD model and as nice as the oled would be it's not a big enough upgrade to be worth paying for (to me at least). If I was buying one now I'd certainly pay the extra though (I'm also making myself feel better)
Launchers for individual game settings never really bothered me. It’s when the publishers force you to install their stores like uplay, EA play, and rockstar that I really find annoying.
Ubisoft Connect is terrible. Being required to put in a username and password every time I want to play splinter cell blacklist has instinctually made me start researching how to pirate ubisoft games. Ubisoft sucks but I still want to play their older games back when they made decent games but that experience sucks right now. Love it when Ubisoft Connect crashes and forces my game to close. Then I have to do the whole process over again. Uuuuuuuuuuugghhh
anyone noticed deckmtp is broken now? any alternatives? only thing i hate about the steamdeck. no usb transfer.. pretty much every handheld should have usb transfer.
I simply don’t play games that require launchers or has an always online requirement. Hard Pass. DeckHD? Vapor ware. Banned on Discord? File a chargeback on your credit card.
All I can say is that there are a bunch of games I refuse to buy because of stupid game launchers. There's a lot of games hassle free, for me to be bothered buy this companies bs
@@majorgnu you cant launch non-launcher games from other launchers. (eg ea launcher for ea owned games) steam lets you add non-steam games. closed launchers are proprietary, meaning they only allow games you own on their platform to be played through it. hence, proprietary. there isn't really another word for that. exclusive doesn't work. un-editable isn't a thing. non-personalized isn't either.
@@majorgnu proprietary also refers to the limits publishers put on their games distribution. you know.. exactly how ea and ubisoft have closed down launchers..
Is anybody still having an issue on the steam deck where all Bethesda games including fallout four and Skyrim have no launchers at all and won’t let you use one and so they’re just stuck at whatever settings they were at
I have a very good gaming PC and could play Elden Ring with Raytracing, but I just played the entirer DLC on the Steam Deck. I had no problems withe die FPS dropps and I had the best time of my life.
Launchers are so annoying, especially Rockstar Games Launcher. Downloaded a quack exe for my Steam version of GTA IV just so I can skip it, having to login and get confirmation email just for a singleplayer game is pointless.
Steam deck are on sale right now. Only the 64 and 512 lcd are %15 off, for someone who doesn't have a deck would u guys recommend getting an lcd deck still?
Yea bro I'm on the site right now 64 gb Brand new and 512 brand new are %15 off and I can still buy one doesn't say sold out yet lol. I was like hell nahhhh lol
@@Celsun667 Ohhh, in the UK they're sold out. As I've got the OLED I'd say get that one as the benefite are worth the price bump, but if you wanna get the LCD for cheap it's still a great Deal.
They won’t fix Elden ring post release. They still haven’t fixed the micro stutter on the pc port, nor 60+ fps.. nor ultra wide. From Soft is a bad Pc game company. They make good games, very bad ports
Valve: Hey can you guys like please not use these third party launchers Consumers: Yeah we wont stand for this Rockstar: GTA 6 releases next year with our launcher Consumers: --Download--
It's also the fact that Activision never would have changed anything if no one complained they don't understand how gaming works stop giving credit where they don't deserve it they could have done it years ago but they chose not to and they still do on regular hardware which is bogus stop purchasing games and they'll stop doing this practice
The launcher is is because of the way the dev built the game they would need to build one that detects your on "Big Picture" mode and switch to a more friendly UI, this is jkust one of the many reason why building native games honestly Valve should make it that Proton is the main SDK for vale store games and make devs build all games to support proton, as val;ve could make proton a full universal system so that Steam no longer cares about the OS your on, its clear the current direction of proton makes dev's able to ignore it fully.
I hate having to go online to start some games, specially games like SF6. Big part of why I even got the steam deck was to be able to practice fighting games on the go, and SF6 having that makes me not even want to open the game
It's not valve's fault at all. Sadly it's all the publishers. Valve can't tell publishers not to have launchers or always online requirement for a system that isn't the focus for these publishers. It'll be nice if the publishers did get rid of it though
I was hoping too as well, the OLED sale would likely be at least a year after it came out (so November) but I couldn’t wait and ordered my OLED yesterday
If I complain about the ScreenHD and get banned from a discord server I will risk my account and break discords community guidelines and get my entire account banned. My voice must be heard. Yes a account ban over a screen. Worth the risk. Luckily I'm not one of the ScreenHD owners.
thats.. not how discord works. you can't have your account banned because you were banned from a server, and complaining about a screen isn't against community guidelines. idk maybe i'm misunderstanding what you're saying but i'm 99% sure you can't get your account banned like that
The og steamdeck can gain a lot from a good overclock. It beats the crap out of my roommates oled model. My cpu, GPU and ram is over clocked. Runs well, no issues
@@joogled1839 I think the ram is clocked higher on the OLED model and a couple of improvements. That's why he said his fps was a lil higher. I'm just stating you can go beyond that with the original steamdeck if that's a selling point.
I 100% recommend overclocking. Games that run at 45-50fps will run at a solid 60 usually but you'll lose so much battery life that it's really not as portable. Also I've repasted mine and bought a better back plate. Repaste it at least before you oc or it will overheat
Launchers are the worst, any console game has the support to not need it but that seems to have not come over to PC. It’s the worst thing as an ex-console kid. Steam is the only exception-but isn’t like the equivalent of PSHome/XboxOS?
fun part is i know of 2 NFS Hot Pursuit games.. nfs 3, back in the mid~late 90s and the newer around 2010 or so one, nfs 3 had no launcher, the game just loads up and runs, no chain-loading off a launcher.. so referencing hotpursuit and a launcher actually confused me a bit, as i default to the older nfs 3 hotpursuit
Hate launchers. It's always been this way. No-cd cracks back then, now repacks; you're always a "potential pirate" to these corpos. I pay for it, buy the best version, and wait for pirates. Sucks to wait, but it's worth it for me since I only care about single player games.
Oh gawd. Please no. The truth. THE TRUTH. I can't come to terms with it... Am I... Am I.... Old? 😭 Well... At least *my* mom's favorite band is guns and roses
There is a big difference between people being “just fine” with how a game runs on the deck and people just making do with how it runs on deck lol If a game runs poor on deck but is still popular that does not mean all those people are happy with the performance, they would all take more if they could get it.
I would love to buy the Deck HD screen but too worried about breaking my deck. Since I have PWM sensitivity that leads to migraines this is the only way I'll ever get a better screen. I bet steam deck 2 will oled and no lcd, but if valve is a better company than sony, samsung or google then they will have either option
The launcher problem is why even though I'm a new steam deck owner and love it, the deck will never replace my Nintendo Switch. The Switch just works when you want it.
If they were moving their warehouse which will cause delays. Why would they need to ban people for asking? Clearly they scammed people and ran away with the money.
Rebooting works for me. It often gets in a broken state but so far rebooting has worked. I'll name my kid Gaben if valve officially integrates discord into the deck.
I've had my hd screen for most of a year now and the use case you may have missed is remote play. My deck is great for playing games with lots of dialogue text, remotely playing demanding games that it has no business running, and remote playing my ps5 through chiaki is absolutely worth the effort for me. 😊
Why do you have to hold the steam button to use your track pad? My track pad just works as a mouse by default in launchers and then switches to whatever i have set for the game itself when the game launches. Try setting up your track pad to work as a mouse in desktop mode, and i believe that makes it work automatically as a mouse in launchers. Idk, i kinda prefer the launcher and mouse interaction
Sometimes you have to use KBM input and then map those buttons to keybindings. What I do is download one of the community configurations and then modify the controls that way. However I could be completely unhelpful to you in your situation. But I hope maybe it was helpful? 🤞
RedLauncher aka The Witcher 3 is also Garbage… you cant login via Launcher on Steamdeck cause the Login is via Browser which doesn’t start in Game-Mode…. I just want to sync my Savegame between PC and Deck…. 😢
I heard a rumor that someone was working to get the OLED screen from the deck working on the LCD... they were making a small control board, have you heard this??
@@fantom0369 The display itself is on ifixit, it's like $100.... So if a controller is like $50, I would do it.... Would love to hear or see more info on this.
Won’t have that problem if you buy from Best Buy with warranty. Then you don’t have to deal with asus. I might pick up the rog ally x and sell the deck Oled. I’d love to have access to my gog and epic games and gamepass natively without trying to do a bunch of work around. Plus it’s still a win for steam because I buy majority of games through steam but epic gives a lot of good free games that I don’t want to re purchase on on steam and gamepass day one release is dope. Love my steam deck but I think the ally x is worth the premium. Plus the 16:10 is annoying. Most games don’t utilize in my use case. Still a great device.
@@kaiichinose9590 if the 16:10 is annoying, play 16:9. the screen is only 800p, which is perfect for that screen size. i do agree tohugh, gamepass is missing from the steam deck. that's the ONLY thing that i want added software-wise at this point. not everyone has bestbuy though. i don't have bestbuy here or really anyone that wants to sell these high class handhelds. the ally x has been met with mixed reception by channels like rgc though, so i wouldn't buy..
I don’t see the point of the HD screen I don’t want a high resolution screen regardless I want a device with long battery life and regardless a lower resolution will increase the life 1280x800 has been great imo Docked I run at 900p usually if I can
Yeah I have a GPD Win Mini (Ryzen 6840U) and its display is a 1080p panel that runs at 120Hz; Even at 30 watts it struggles to run anything at full res higher than 60fps. I run the panel at 60hz anyway as a result.
This is exactly what is wrong with all the steam deck competitors , 4k 244Hz on a handheld is a waste of money and you will never be able to use it for anything but NES emulation. Oled screens are a fantastic choice for a handheld, going for a better looking screen instead of a higher resolution that you can't see or even run was a great choice by valve
The launchers I've come across? They're literally a NON issue for me. A few seconds of annoyance to play my game. Woo. Touch the display to hit OK. Online REQUIREMENTS? They've ALWAYS been irritating whether it be for people on a trip of some sort with a laptop or for people with a shite internet connection... OR companies who INSIST their game CAN'T be played offline and their servers take a shit and nobody can play. Or companies who insist their game can't be played offline... but people who pirated the game are doing just fine.
valve could be the leader in pc handheld industry if they could just go all out guns blazing making the steam deck lot more powerful, bigger screen, more hz preferably 144hz with vrr, bigger battery life and a portable gpu but instead they're like nintendo just making mediocre pc handheld systems. they already got the best os out them all but fall short in the hardware department
Bad take. Valve is already the leader in the handheld industry. Every x86 handheld is playing games from Steam. Valve is smart not to iterate on hardware until they're ready.
144hz with vrr sounds awful, the battery will take a straight nosedive into 1hr play times at that point... Also, drains more power to have a screen that can do that. Bigger screen? Disagree. The Steamdeck is already the largest real handheld, increasing the size would reduce the amount of "Handheld" owners. The only thing that should really be focused on, is 1. more power, 2. better battery life, 3. better temps. That should be the only priority, and that comes before everything else.
@@fw.sacsha8235he is smoking very hard things BC that shit is gonna feel like 150° C and Last for around 20 minutes. Or You can take 2 Cars battery and be able to play 3 hours. Downsides? At this moment, better buy a PC gamer, and stream the Game.
There are. I think it happened within the last month. Sucks I know! It didn't run well before that anyway though. I had owned it prior to the news, and ya I believe it would have taken some serious tweaking (says proton db). If my memory serves me right here.
The launcher problem is 100% a sloppy developer problem and the best Valve can do is work around it and make them as easy to interact with as possible.
sloppy publisher
EA app is the worst, everytime I install it with Nonsteamlauncher it never works and says the Launcher needs to Restart.
Vavle probably has opened communication with these other stuidos abut launchers. But the launchers aren't there because of a technical decision but because of business decisions made 3 levels removed from the platform it actually runs on.

I 100% recommend overclocking. Games that run at 45-50fps will run at a solid 60 usually but you'll lose so much battery life that it's really not as portable. Also I've repasted mine and bought a better back plate. Repaste it at least before you oc or it will overheat
Hope you enjoyed that maroon 5 concert
Launchers are the worst, any console game has the support to not need it but that seems to have not come over to PC. It’s the worst thing as an ex-console kid. Steam is the only exception-but isn’t like the equivalent of PSHome/XboxOS?
Hey Jimmy are you going to get the Rog Ally x or not interested in the price tag
He shouldn’t. ASUS is a trash company. Look at all the horrible customer service reviews for that device (and any other device they make).
fun part is i know of 2 NFS Hot Pursuit games.. nfs 3, back in the mid~late 90s and the newer around 2010 or so one, nfs 3 had no launcher, the game just loads up and runs, no chain-loading off a launcher.. so referencing hotpursuit and a launcher actually confused me a bit, as i default to the older nfs 3 hotpursuit

Hate launchers. It's always been this way. No-cd cracks back then, now repacks; you're always a "potential pirate" to these corpos. I pay for it, buy the best version, and wait for pirates. Sucks to wait, but it's worth it for me since I only care about single player games.
im so old that Jimmy's mom fav band is maroon 5...lol
Oh gawd. Please no. The truth. THE TRUTH. I can't come to terms with it... Am I... Am I.... Old? 😭
Well... At least *my* mom's favorite band is guns and roses
@@Jaguar21010 thats my dad favorite band LOL
There is a big difference between people being “just fine” with how a game runs on the deck and people just making do with how it runs on deck lol
If a game runs poor on deck but is still popular that does not mean all those people are happy with the performance, they would all take more if they could get it.
I would love to buy the Deck HD screen but too worried about breaking my deck. Since I have PWM sensitivity that leads to migraines this is the only way I'll ever get a better screen. I bet steam deck 2 will oled and no lcd, but if valve is a better company than sony, samsung or google then they will have either option
The launcher problem is why even though I'm a new steam deck owner and love it, the deck will never replace my Nintendo Switch. The Switch just works when you want it.
If they were moving their warehouse which will cause delays. Why would they need to ban people for asking? Clearly they scammed people and ran away with the money.
You deserve more views bro.
Any idea what's going on with deckcord? It hasn't worked for me for awhile now.
Rebooting works for me. It often gets in a broken state but so far rebooting has worked. I'll name my kid Gaben if valve officially integrates discord into the deck.
I've had my hd screen for most of a year now and the use case you may have missed is remote play. My deck is great for playing games with lots of dialogue text, remotely playing demanding games that it has no business running, and remote playing my ps5 through chiaki is absolutely worth the effort for me. 😊
100% that is fishy. If you take my money you better ship the product. That’s why I don’t like LRG
Lets see what nintendo is going to do
Hope they get rid of crap like the EA and Rockstar overlay, they're so freaking annoying.
Touch wood, no issues what so ever with my SD Oled and I've had it almost 7 months now
Why do you have to hold the steam button to use your track pad? My track pad just works as a mouse by default in launchers and then switches to whatever i have set for the game itself when the game launches. Try setting up your track pad to work as a mouse in desktop mode, and i believe that makes it work automatically as a mouse in launchers. Idk, i kinda prefer the launcher and mouse interaction
Because some of us have it for the number line or other hot keys
looks like the DeckHD is just another rug pull
I want to know why some games you can't map some buttons, like the ones on the back of the steam deck
Sometimes you have to use KBM input and then map those buttons to keybindings. What I do is download one of the community configurations and then modify the controls that way. However I could be completely unhelpful to you in your situation. But I hope maybe it was helpful? 🤞
RedLauncher aka The Witcher 3 is also Garbage… you cant login via Launcher on Steamdeck cause the Login is via Browser which doesn’t start in Game-Mode…. I just want to sync my Savegame between PC and Deck…. 😢
Doesn't steam cloud save work without launcher?
GOG Edition,sadly Steam don’t sell it at the Store.
DeckHD, hahaaah!!!
I always thought it was a scam.
I heard a rumor that someone was working to get the OLED screen from the deck working on the LCD... they were making a small control board, have you heard this??
I heard this rumor too but I expect it to be expensive if it happens
@@fantom0369 The display itself is on ifixit, it's like $100.... So if a controller is like $50, I would do it.... Would love to hear or see more info on this.
maroon 5 is amazing honestly
Damn sold my oled 3 weeks ago to get the new rog ally
Gambler eh? Hope the bet pays off and you never need service from asus..
epic fail dude.. asus has been horrible recently.
@@joogled1839 the steam deck is a bit underpowered for me taste compared to the competition.
Won’t have that problem if you buy from Best Buy with warranty. Then you don’t have to deal with asus. I might pick up the rog ally x and sell the deck Oled. I’d love to have access to my gog and epic games and gamepass natively without trying to do a bunch of work around. Plus it’s still a win for steam because I buy majority of games through steam but epic gives a lot of good free games that I don’t want to re purchase on on steam and gamepass day one release is dope. Love my steam deck but I think the ally x is worth the premium. Plus the 16:10 is annoying. Most games don’t utilize in my use case. Still a great device.
@@kaiichinose9590 if the 16:10 is annoying, play 16:9. the screen is only 800p, which is perfect for that screen size. i do agree tohugh, gamepass is missing from the steam deck. that's the ONLY thing that i want added software-wise at this point. not everyone has bestbuy though. i don't have bestbuy here or really anyone that wants to sell these high class handhelds. the ally x has been met with mixed reception by channels like rgc though, so i wouldn't buy..
I don’t see the point of the HD screen
I don’t want a high resolution screen regardless
I want a device with long battery life and regardless a lower resolution will increase the life
1280x800 has been great imo
Docked I run at 900p usually if I can
Yeah I have a GPD Win Mini (Ryzen 6840U) and its display is a 1080p panel that runs at 120Hz; Even at 30 watts it struggles to run anything at full res higher than 60fps. I run the panel at 60hz anyway as a result.
@@gunstorm05 i also find that at the size of the steamdeck and switch screen, 1080p isnt so different from 720p at forearm length
This is exactly what is wrong with all the steam deck competitors , 4k 244Hz on a handheld is a waste of money and you will never be able to use it for anything but NES emulation.
Oled screens are a fantastic choice for a handheld, going for a better looking screen instead of a higher resolution that you can't see or even run was a great choice by valve
Grid doesn't work goes back to start
Moved warehouse my arse…
Plottiwst. You don't own any of the games you buy Digital
You dont own phsysical disks too. Its a myth.
Yeah. If you can't hold it you don't have it.
The launchers I've come across? They're literally a NON issue for me. A few seconds of annoyance to play my game. Woo. Touch the display to hit OK.
Online REQUIREMENTS? They've ALWAYS been irritating whether it be for people on a trip of some sort with a laptop or for people with a shite internet connection... OR companies who INSIST their game CAN'T be played offline and their servers take a shit and nobody can play.
Or companies who insist their game can't be played offline... but people who pirated the game are doing just fine.
ubisoft requires you to type in a password EVERY TIME you launch a game.
I’ll just get ROG Ally X when it comes out.
Have fun!
ew
i hope the battery is actually usable. an hour on average is pretty bad. and i hope asus fixes their warranty service.
Before you purchase, you should look at their customer service and the horrific stuff they just done to void your warranty.
First
valve could be the leader in pc handheld industry if they could just go all out guns blazing making the steam deck lot more powerful, bigger screen, more hz preferably 144hz with vrr, bigger battery life and a portable gpu but instead they're like nintendo just making mediocre pc handheld systems. they already got the best os out them all but fall short in the hardware department
Bad take. Valve is already the leader in the handheld industry. Every x86 handheld is playing games from Steam. Valve is smart not to iterate on hardware until they're ready.
144hz with vrr sounds awful, the battery will take a straight nosedive into 1hr play times at that point... Also, drains more power to have a screen that can do that. Bigger screen? Disagree. The Steamdeck is already the largest real handheld, increasing the size would reduce the amount of "Handheld" owners. The only thing that should really be focused on, is 1. more power, 2. better battery life, 3. better temps.
That should be the only priority, and that comes before everything else.
@@fw.sacsha8235he is smoking very hard things BC that shit is gonna feel like 150° C and Last for around 20 minutes.
Or You can take 2 Cars battery and be able to play 3 hours.
Downsides?
At this moment, better buy a PC gamer, and stream the Game.
@fw.sacsha8235 legion go seems to be doing just fine
you are asking for laptop, limitation are good thing for better optimised games
Battlefield 5 doesn’t work on my steam deck? Whyyyyyy there are no videos about that
There are. I think it happened within the last month. Sucks I know! It didn't run well before that anyway though. I had owned it prior to the news, and ya I believe it would have taken some serious tweaking (says proton db). If my memory serves me right here.
Can I add you on vamp surv
