I don't tend to rely as much on Valve's compatibility rating as I do ProtonDB's. Even though it takes extra steps.

DeckyLoader has a plugin to display a protonDB badge in the store, and tapping it is a shortcut to the game's protonDB page.

Very handy.

I rely on "not a multiplayer game, should work".

This is more directed at desktop linux, but some solutions around the current kernel anti-cheat systems that lock out linux would be great!

[-] SSUPII@sopuli.xyz 8 points 5 months ago

The problem with that is that is hard to experiment with too

Test devices get banned constantly, and the companies behind those systems really don't like other companies trying to poke around it

[-] Rayspekt@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Yes, I absolutely understand the challenge. It just sucks that corpos have that kind of leverage to keep people on windows. In an ideal world gamers would stop playing League after they go live with their stupid Vanguard BS, but in the end we get some rants on r*ddit and most people still continue playing.

I'm addicted, man. And I got my friends hooked on the stuff. All I can do is sit with the shame.

You could get into Dota too, I did after they first mentioned the idea of Vanguard coming to League a couple of years ago (also was kinda getting bored of lol.) Sure it's a very different and hard game, but after I started to understand it, I haven't looked back.

Never found a single game that doesn't work. Fantastic job.

Heavy Rain, the mouth sync problem straight up could not be solved on my Deck.

[-] Nutteman@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Sounds like an improvement to me. Heavy rain already has shit dialogue to the point of it being funny. Having lip sync issues would only enhance the experience imo

[-] rikudou 1 points 5 months ago

I get that you dislike the game, but how exactly does claiming it being broken is better in any way?

[-] Nutteman@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I said, "in my opinion". I like heavy rain in a "the room" kind of way. Obviously it sucks the game doesn't function properly for you and that shouldn't be the case.

Love to see it - it's really a fanatic device.

Mine died 9 months out of warranty, last week they told me over the phone that apparently the firmware got corrupted and they have to reprogram it, and it will cost $120 USD + tax + shipping (+ import fees of course). I haven't heard anything else yet. I sent it off for RMA back on May 7, so it's been a little while lol

[-] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 months ago

What were the symptoms? Firmware corrupted? As in BIOS/UEFI? Did this happen randomly?

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The symptoms were the internal display went black after an automatic firmware update (you can't disable firmware updates, they happen automatically) and never came on again, and then external display also went black after working only once. The device would power on, you would hear the fans running, but there was no display and no startup chime.
