Yeah!

The more complex ones I’ve seen are Mass Effect and anything on the Resident Evil engine.

Anything with mod dependencies (like REframework) has some issues. I just kept having issues with crashing when trying to mod a skin for Diana in PRAGMATA and setting up a currency multiplier haha.

But I think this was related to my incorrect/unstable settings. As I kept seeing the game crash after the first and before second boss fight.

Most of the ones I’ve seen are the standard

“Drop this .pak in a ~mods folder” type mods.

But I only have a few mods. A texture to replace the buster sword with the metal Chocobo from Kingdom Hearts, a restore Tifa’s outfit to the OG version type mod (this removed the black undershirt thing), and one to get more materia in stores.

I should clarify I only got 100% exploration and beat the enhanced bosses in Unknown Signal for Pragmata. I could usually get the “important” rewards from the trials but gave up on some of them pretty quickly.

I hope they announce a sequel soon, but would be perfectly happy if it was a one-off game.

I’ve got some performance mod for E33 and it seems pretty solid. Only issue I’ve seen so far is that the hair all turns white in the character select menu. Manor might look funky too tbh. But I was getting a very stable 30 FPS in the prologue with solid looking graphics.

I also beat act 1 on Xbox about a year ago, but also haven’t touched my Xbox since I got a Deck… so I’m excited to play the prologue and act 1 again.

Just finished up Pragmata! Great game. 100%ed it in about 20 hours. Sadly didn’t get my settings dialed in until about hour 13 hahaha.

I was torn between Expedition 33 and FF7 Remake + Rebirth. And I think I’m heavily leaning towards FF7.

I haven’t played the originals, and really only know about

Aerith.

So I’m excited to start it!

I grabbed a couple if mods (Less Grunting, Metal Chocobo for Buster Sword swap, and a DSR disabling mod).

If you recommend any others, let me know!

Haven’t done multiplayer, but out of the box I was getting stable 30 FPS during the offline training

Disabling Steam Overlay fixed it. Thanks!

I’ll try some additional ones.

But nothing in particular for the games I have been trying to launch.

I’ve tried both 1 and 3, but will def try 2 as well.

>Alternatively you can add them as a non-steam game and run them through steam

This is what I was trying to do.

I have them all set up and installed on a Games folder in either my SD card or SSD (depending on the game).

I add to Steam for the .exe and run via Proton Experimental or Hotfix or 11.

Via Desktop, the game launches, shaders cache, etc. but the screen is frozen on a gray or black or white blank screen — if I tab out or use the system key, I can see the game running fine in the background.

I spent the entire weekend playing with these instead of gaming. 😭

Decky Plugins, I’d wager.

Sadly I don’t have anything stronger, unless you count an Xbox Series S.

The only gaming PC I have access to is a low/mid range one that was built circa 2016 and runs Wuthering Waves (my benchmark game) pretty on par with my Deck, ignoring resolution changes.

The try/die/repeat thing is what got me hooked on Elden Ring for a while. Maybe I’ll enjoy Hades more this time. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

I actually don’t have super strong opinions on Hades. Maybe it’s just because I have played gacha games with roguelike features, but it’s kind of frustrating to me to not be able to pick my build and properly level up or anything like that.

I’ll revisit Hades 1 this weekend and see if my opinion has changed, however.

Good stuff. I don’t have Hades 2, but I assume Hades has comparable performance. I’ll give it another try this weekend.

Hey, fair enough. I’m not too much of a quality snob. I just really don’t like stuttering. Bugs the heck out of me haha.

Oh no. A new thing to install on my deck. This looks like so much fun.

I have both LFD2 and HL2. But not half life 1. How uh… Important is HL1?

Oh and both portal games, but I’ve beaten those a half dozen times.
