Your LB key is broke too :')? Hell, even when the battery was cheaper, it was always out of stock. I still don't think I've ever gotten a restock email for the stupid battery and boy howdy does it need to be replaced...

Unlikely to happen now that it's even more expensive though sadly. Maybe I just save for an OLED instead.

A lot of people here saying to upgrade the SSD but I don't know. I got a shit ton more storage for the same price by going with SD cards, and I'm able to easily play games like Helldivers, GTA, big giant games that supposedly "Need" an ssd and I've not noticed any difference at all.

I played before the full Linux build, and I even used to do it with Ps5 controller on my 55' TV.

The game worked great honestly, it did crash once or twice, and it did slow waaaaaay down when getting into fights with 20+ people, but that was always due to my own mods and what not. Definitely not native experience.

All that to say, it worked very well before they made a deck/Linux specific version so I'd imagine that it works darn near flawlessly now.

It's really not a shit game, can't speak about the port to the switch but on pc it's a very expansive and fun game.

Don't worry, I'm doing my part being one of the 0.1% on bazzite o7

Is that what's happening?! I just thought it was being a pain in the ass when I would try to put it to sleep. I know my battery is fucked, an I should really open it up, replace a few things an clean it up haha.

What's this about waking in Bluetooth though??? Been wanting that forever but I thought it was an oled only thing

Probably better off just selling and going with an windows handheld, just of course make sure to look into whether or not the device will actually work with pc gamepass and how well it handles most games

What about it is inconsistent?

Why is streaming not an option? I've had pc gamepassfor months. You can create a shortcut in game mode to an edge browser which brings you directly to the home page for games, and then all controls natively work.

I've not had any issues with streaming so far, and even got to play starfield for a little while (i believe that was on game pass? Or I steamed it from my pc idrk).

Granted this only works so well for me because I have decent internet, but unless I wasplaying cod I'd be tempted to try with my 4g phone and Hotspot it.

Now that is seriously good to know! Espevially if you've got slow internet like me.

I splurged originally though haha, I have a 512gb Q3 deck, getting a 2tb or 1tb drive isn't a huge incentive since I just have a bunch of 512gb sd cards, but if I open it up id rather just do it all at once ya know

Man id absolutely love to do this, full screen/shell/battery replacement and maybe even a 1tb nvme drive.

But goodness any time I see the clear shells all I can think of is how they look like a toy/switch afterwards haha

I've also noticed this, I try to keep mine at 60% due to bad battery health and keeping it basically docked 95% of the time. Not once have I seen it actually stick to 60%.

I still have the original LCD Q4 version.

Must be regional then. I noticed that my shell isn't completely flat after seeing your post and now I'm obviously very concerned.

I've reached out to Steam Support atleast, hopefully they can directly sell me one, or point me somewhere that I'm not buying one off Amazon but this should likely be replaced asap...

When did you get your steam deck? Mines an original Q3 an curious if this is something common for our 2 year old devices?

Okay but how did you order a replacement??? Every time I've checked Ifixit they've been out of stock and I've signed up for an email telling me when they're in stock... Its been like a month...m

30fps isn't even that bad.

Whack, bottles it is!

Do you have your own copy of GTAIV also installed? I'll give Bottles a try, but Lutris was only struggling because the mod was unable to find GTAIV

I'm in the same boat with around 80%... Original 512gb and it's spent the last few years entirely plugged in. Eventually I'll have to use the more battery health as an excuse to upgrade to the OLED.

Have you looked at any of the OLED screen upgrades for the deck?

How were you able to get it to find gtaiv in the first place?!

Did you try it with lutris or heroiclauncher? I just grabbed it myself and will install it tomorrow. I'll follow your tricks.

As for the graphics corrupting, is that with the required changes that the F.A.Q. has? Or your own attempts?

Edit: Bottles seems to be the way to go. Game loads right up after installing
