If you can get the repack for these games it will work, as for the steam OLED and current new LCD steam decks are having problems running games effectively. If you got an old model hold it strong, having used the ROG ally unless one is based abroad it isn't worth having, too many issues with the hardware, great device but if you press buttons hand or got butter fingers and one isn't the type to let the console cool properly before putting in it's pouch then one might have issues later on, Asus has long time issue of not following up on updates for their devices.


If you have a steam deck and you don't play official games from steam , avoid any updates and stick to proton 7.04 and experimental

For me the lenovo legion go is the best out there but only the steam deck is the one with parts easily available here in Nigeria but not as powerful as the Ally but with enough tweaking it does well

Most of the games that don't work on the steam deck are multiplayer game, so a repack won't let you play online.

The rog ally has been constantly updated and the software are great now, apart from the SD card issues.

Trust me, you don't want the Legion Go. It has horrible software, poor ergonomics, speakers and loud fans.

Tover:

Boss what are the games that does not support it ..I am so sorry if my questions are too much..I don't want to regret spending that much money on it. .

They're not much, but I'll mention the ones I know. Games like Fifa, Fortnite, Destiny 2 and COD Modern Warfare III do not work because the game devs refuse to support Linux anti-cheat system. If you dual boot windows, it'll work. For me, it plays all the games I really want to play works.

Go for the rog ally if you want a more powerful system with windows and without anti-cheat issues, but the Deck's Steam OS has the best software experience in any handheld out there. It's like a console.

Tover:

Hw much do you buy your steam, pls wat review can you give about the steam, is there any game you are finding it difficult to play on the steam

It's Linux, so not all games support its anti cheat system. That's the only thing I see, apart from that the steam deck has been a wonderful system for me.

tecnolad:


It's out now and it's OLED

That's not steam deck 2 sha. Just a refresh, like the switch oled.

N3cR0mAZc3R:


The other Handhelds like the Rog ally, Aya Neos, One x fly and the upcoming Legion go might be more powerful but they still run windows as their os and windows is not a very friendly gaming os on handhelds.

I am perfectly fine with the steam deck until valve make a steam deck 2.

Yeah, that's true. No handle comes close for the deck in software. I wanted to wait for the deck 2. I have a steam deck, but the Legion Go looks very tempting.

N3cR0mAZc3R:


Yeah i do. I no longer have the luxury of sitting in front of TV to game due to day to day/life activities. I can always pick up a game where i left off on my deck with just the press of a button, while laying down on my bed.

Legit reason! Do you think of upgrading to other powerful handhelds?

N3cR0mAZc3R:


I saw you playing it sis. So how's it? Like is it actually better than the first two games?

Maybe I'll actually get a reason to use my ps5. My steam deck has been taking my time for the past one yrs now.

Why? You prefer the deck over your PS5?

PoliteActivist:


Thanks bro. I know that's the rational thing to do. But the heart part of me wants Canada and wants it NOW

Well, you can visit and see things for yourself. Just make sure find a way to keep the offer. Cheers and good luck!

PoliteActivist:


But I'm told I can "hustle" and also who knows who I will meet. It's really not easy on me

You'll go through hell, bro. That "hustle" is probably cash jobs. You can't keep up with that. Take the job offer in Nigeria, while you plan towards getting a proper visa.

MT:


You can if you get a job from an LMIA- licensed company. But like I said, they are only available for jobs that companies struggle to fill with Canadians - mostly lowly paid jobs. The scheme will end by 2025

It's not easy to get a job not to talk of LMIA. That's a huge uncertainty. He's better off with this job offer in Nigeria until he gets a proper visa.

If it's a visitor Visa, please! Take the Job. You can't work with a Visitor Visa in Canada.

tecnolad:


Thanks man! I have cryoutilities and emu deck installed. I bought some games too, but they aren't cracked. I guess there's still a lot to learn.

Yeah, a lot to learn! The only reason why I buy some games is because of steam achievement and displaying play time.

jeff1607:


I do this when I use a power bank , when using AC power, it's all engines go

Oh, okay. That's perfect then.

jeff1607:
Using proton 7.0 for PC games on the SD

Capped the fps at 26 intentionally and no lag for God of war

Isn't 26 fps too low? I capped mine at 40 and its very stable.

tecnolad:
Wow! It totally feels good to know that there's a thread for steam deck owners. I just got a SD, 512GB variant. I've only been getting games from the Steam store, which can be expensive.

I've bought some games, but most of my games are cracked. There are a lot of fun tweaks to install to get the most of your deck. Check out decky loader, cryoutilities, and Lutris.

You should probably look into upgrading your ssd as well.
And it's a handled, don't expect it to run like an Rtx 4090

Enjoy!

I'm playing Starfield at the moment.

lordprogress:
Since you sell pc games too if I get the steam deck is there anyway to install the games as you normally install games on pc with out buying it direct from steam.

You can do that in desktop mode with Lutris or Heroic Launcher. Mind you, steam deck uses steam OS which is based on Linux, so you have to use compatibility layers to play windows games. Lutris does the job.

jeff1607:


VRAM 4gb right?

Yes, correct.

jeff1607:


I would give this a try

Did you change ur default VRAM settings in the bios to 4gb before using cryo utility?

Another one, did you by any chance undervolt or overclock your steam deck?

Yes, I increased the VRAM for cryoutilities.

I've neither undervolted or overlocked. I'm okay with the performance and power consumption at the moment.

jeff1607:


Nope I haven't, I only use the direct emulators , as I know where all files are loaded

Oh, alright. But these ain't emulators. Cryoutilities tools boosts overall performance and decky loader is a plugin that brings in lots of features.

N3cR0mAZc3R:


Sometimes I do buy them on steam store but I also buy them on online websites which happened to have cheaper versions of the games than on steam store front.

I have 512gb ssd as internal storage.

Thanks. Mine arrived recently and I've just figured everything out, including upgrading the ssd. When I mentioned, you I was contemplating on what storage version to get.

N3cR0mAZc3R:


Lol this is a big lie. The steam deck is the most comfortable handheld I have ever held. Feels much like a Xbox one controller.

Hi, do you buy your games from steam? And what's the storage of your deck?

.

iLegendd:
Sad, but stay strong. Watch the market for now and take notes of what is happening. You'll bounce back in 2025. It's a guarantee.

Yeah, that's almost the same timeframe I have in mind for when the market will come alive again. Willing to hodl the top two until that time because a lot of coins will not survive this bear market.

iLegendd:
Have you lost everything or half?

More than half; about 65% down.

Gentlemen, it's been a privilege!

immortalcrown:
You are just using a stupid logic here. I wonder if you are on this same earth because only a fool from another planet will sound like you. iPhone has a special charger made by Apple. It doesn't mean that another charger cannot charge iPhone. But not every charger that works for a phone is suitable for for the phone battery. iPhone charger made by Apple is the most suitable for iPhones. But because the charger is expensive, Nigerians resort to using Android charger to charge iPhone.

Ordinary Google will prove your stupidity. Just type iPhone charger on Google and then type Android charger on the same Google and see the results.

It looks like you cannot communicate in a civil manner without insults. You ain't worth any further engagement.

MansoryMX:


If you want to enjoy a virus free device that doesn’t hang due to RAM issue in almost android phones (including Samsung) then buy an iPhone. It’s not for showoff but simply the best phone device out there

You definitely don't know the difference between virus and malware. And you're kidding if you think iPhones doesn't hang.

Sammy07:


Na people like you go Dey wear agbada on top English dress lol.

Lemme

For person way dey say, "Android charger." I no go surprise if you call Jeep a type of car.

Sammy07:


No no, get what he's trying to say.

He's only trying to say.
IPhone chargers ain't easy to get and are costly.

That's why you see many iPhone users using Android charger head together charge their iPhones via iPhone USB cable.

Most of the phones has their own branded chargers which should normally go in hand with the type of phone you're using.

Using infinix charger head to charge Samsung or Itel charger head to charge Tecnos isn't normal.

Which one is android charger. Like does the charger run Android OS? If no, then it's just a charger and they vary according to price. The expense ones doesn't mean that it's meant for iPhones alone.

immortalcrown:
iPhone has value. It is very rugged and durable.

Rugged and iPhone shouldn't be in the same sentence

Apart from Samsung, no other brand of phone has OS and camera quality that can challenge iPhone. Counter these points with facts, if you claim iPhone has no value.

You've never heard of Huawei and Google pixel? iPhones are no longer the benchmark for mobile cameras.

This is why many iPhone users in Nigeria use Android charger

There isn't a charger that is labelled or tagged as an, "Android charger."

You're coming up as a ballpoint artist.

I do not known your intent at creating this post, but if it was for exhibition or promotional purpose, I suggest you tidy many things up. E.g you need to define your margins and scaling properly before creating the images so that your text can sit well in the concept arrangement.

I also think you need to improve on your shading. There are some images where you used crosshatching but you didn't create the typical shade background upon which such heavy shading should rest.
I think you need to improve on real-life drawing too. There's what we call ambience. For instance, your capture should have little real-life details like sky, birds, vegetation etc, it makes your drawings holistic.

All in all, I rate you 5.5/10..

Wishing you greater heights.

If only you knew that all those drawings were created from his imaginations. There are not a lot of artists who could do that.
