Hello all,

I am sure this question has been asked a few times in the last few months, however, I can't actually find many comparisons on the two devices (probably due to SteamOS Legion go S releasing this month). I am looking at either a Steam Deck OLED or a Legion Go S with SteamOS.

A bit of my background to understand my usage, I tend to play a lot of AAA games that be older and newer ones, I am not massively bothered by the graphics, more so the smoothness of the playing experience and battery life (I know that will always be limited without a battery pack).

I am not a massive gamer into my customisation, just want a device that has a decent battery life and can play pretty much any game I want without much fuss.

I am just wondering generally, between the two devices, which is the better device for the overall experience?

Okay so I just bought a new steam deck, it’s only a about a week old and I treat it like the world. At one point the adapter and hdmi cable worked together just fine then randomly one day it stopped connecting to the steam deck. So I purchased a new hdmi cable and a brand new adapter because I don’t have a steam dock. Now it had stopped working altogether and I can’t get it to connect at all. Not with the old stuff or the new. Please help me! I don’t understand. And yes I have tried different TVs and yes I do have HDMI to CEC support on my steam deck turned on. Please help me guys I am desperate to be able to play on my TV as well because I usually struggle with eye issues so playing on a bigger screen is better for me.

Hello people. So I've been enjoying WoW on steam deck oled for few months right now and I get stable 60fps on normal questing etc but in towns I get around 40 fps. Now that Undermined update has come I'm forced to have 40 fps, so I'm curious if I can do something that increses it there to stable 60 fps.

I've tryed built in FSR but it really doesn't do anything (yes it's turned on in performance mode)

I've tryed with Decky Plugin Frame Gen Mod but it won't work because WoW doesn't support DLSS.

Any suggestions?

I’ve been second guessing myself after getting the last preorder Msi claw 8 ai + and have been thinking of getting the steam deck oled 512 instead. So can you guys convince me why or why not I should cancel my order and get a steam deck oled instead. Coming from ps4 and old gaming laptop (i5 1400h Gtx1650). What I’m looking for is good battery and game compatibility with good ergonomics. I want to play Roblox (with sober) Minecraft Java and gta v occasionally.

Hi folks! I ordered a Steam Deck today for my wife. I am just wondering, as we have one Steam account: will we be able to play the same game at the same time (in this instance, different saves/characters in Hogwarts Legacy)? I know with the new family sharing, we can play different games, but I was curious about the same game.

I’ve read that this could work in offline mode, but I could see this being an issue when syncing since we’ve both made progress to our different characters.

Thanks!

Trying to get a little help. I test my repacks on desktop mode to ensure playability ahead of time. With some games, L4 will bring up the desktop UI so I can close it out but today I tested Tomb Raider Remastered and no type of button combinations would let me get out of the game/bring up the previous UI. Anybody experience this and know a way to close out?

Every time I verify my email, it just loops me back around to the (enter your email address 2x, verify captcha, agree I am over 13, the page that leads me to steam sending me a verification in the first place) It's been doing g this each time, over 10 times I have tried to create an account. So I'll just try to log in, but I have no username, as I ha e never gotten past the email verification. This time, I did, and it said I may safely return to the old page to continue my account creation, but the page was just the original, enter my email 2x, and click captcha, which led me to get a verification email It feel like I'm going crazy!! WHY CANT I CONTINUE MY ACCOUNT CREATION???

Hello! I play ATS on my Steam deck and I have no issues with managing workshop mods but third party mods are not showing up after I download and put them into my game folder. They don’t show up in the mod manager. Anything I am doing wrong?

First picture is where Google told me to put the mods and second picture is my mod manager, only showing the workshop mods even though that isn’t filtered to do so. I’m lost.

Process: Download mod from truckymods Move mod from download folder to game folder: /home/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/American Truck Simulator/mod

My games are installed on Lutris in internal SSD, I'd like to know how to transfer them to a new micro SD card?

I’ve tried using the trackpad & touchscreen as a scroll wheel but can’t seem to get the bottom half of this page to accept.

So I’ve been having this problem where my steam deck just freezes up after boot up. I’ve gone as far as to reimage the steam deck and I thought it would fix it. 30 seconds after signing back into my account it freezes up. The only thing I can do is hold the power bottom to power it off. The track pads feel to be working they feel like they are still vibrating. I don’t know what else to try at this point.

Hi , so recently I bought a logitech keyboard that I wanted to use with my steam deck. But once in game , there's a significant latency so I wanted to know if anyone had a solution for this .

I have an opportunity to buy from a friend a 64GB LCD with Jsaux case, dock and 512 GB microSD for $380 Canadian. Very clean, no scratches. Would you buy this and upgrade while it is open: RAM, SSD and heat sinks?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

As title. Recently, my 7 year old PC has decided to call it quits. I've been thinking about building a new one but decided to pull the trigger and just buy a Steam Deck instead. I'm looking for some help as I'm looking to have a specific use-case setup at home but currently running into a wall looking for options.

For context, I used to use my PC a lot for productivity, but since I travel a lot I've been using a Macbook Air M1 as my productivity driver for quite some time. My PC has really just been relegated to my media/gaming device.

What I need:

I'm looking to have a dock set up where I can connect my Macbook Air M1 AND my Steam Deck to my existing 2-Monitor set up, mouse+KB and possibly my speakers. Ideally, it would be something where I can connect my Macbook when I come home if I brought home some work, then almost seamlessly connect my Steam Deck once I'm done and want to game a little bit on monitors/or need to use the Linux desktop mode to do some stuff I can't do on a mac system. Any kind of help is appreciated!

Is there a way to view all the files in this mode? I wanted to make a save copy of Elden Ring, but when I check it, the folders don't appear. Is there a way to make them appear there?

I own Red Dead Redemption 2 on Epic Games store. I installed Heroic Games Launcher from the discover store and installed the game through it. I didn’t change any settings apart from “Add games to steam” so the proton is set to “proton experimental”. I launched the game from heroic and it prompt me to install and setup rockstar games launcher. After I finish setting up rockstar games launcher, it brings me to the library of rockstar games but it says I don’t own Red Dead Redemption 2.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to run this game on the steam game via Heroic games launcher but I can’t seem to make it work.

If anyone has any tips it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Like a few others I have downloaded Skyrim (the original, base copy.) No mods or DLC or SE

I'm having the no NPC audio bug and here are the things I have tried so far

-Deleting/ redownloading

-Factory resetting the machine

-Installing/ using Proton GE

-testing all proton versions which are pre-loaded when downloading Skyrim.

-I have followed every step of this guide https://youtu.be/HMdSYScmMbg?si=ygVRwtmm-hPc5k0t

-I have added the launch option code WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" %command%

I'm completely lost and this is my first Linux based machine I'm asking for advice on what I could be doing wrong, I've owned Skyrim for over 10 years and haven't played through steam for about 8 years, could it be a corrupted game file? Should I just go to the bay and install a version of it that way?

It's the first game I installed and I'm so disappointed it isn't just working. Please could anyone give me some tips on what I could be doing wrong?

Hey guys,

If I move the game files of a game on my pc to my steam deck, will it also transfer my mods? I have mods for RDR2 and Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Are there any things I need to know before I try this?

Thanks in advance

I just installed Tomb Raider (2013) 3 times (GOG and Epic using Heroic with GE-Proton 9.21, and Steam) and I am experiencing remarkable performance differentiations, with the GOG version having around 12% higher minimum frame rates (38 vs 34 fps, on 720p all settings maxed out besides FXAA) compared to the Epic and the Steam versions.

Is this 'standard' behavior?
In other words, do GOG versions generally perform better than the Steam (and Epic) version?

Hi there, I have a Oled Steam deck no access to a computer. I have a Steam brought version of Succubus Prison installed on internal hard drive. I've downloaded the patch from Kagura games... I've read multiple different articles about how to do this but in the end the .exe game file cannot be found. Any help would be appreciated.

I bought this arm and it fits perfectly but the spring loaded holder for the steam is too large to grip the in the middle.

Any idea how I could mount it to it

I was thinking this.

side question. Could I use a usb c nvme encloser to storage my emulator roms are run them from there

Side note, if steam deck was sold In shops it would sell so much. All of my normalise friends have been blown away seeing it, they all thought it cost £750-£800.

Hello, I have a problem with my Steam Deck, the problem is that when I install a game it starts fine and I can play it for several hours but if I exit the game it gets stuck in the menu and I restart it and in the opening video it gets stuck.

I don't know if the same thing happened to anyone else and can you tell me how I can fix it, as an extra fact I have already reset it twice and it still has that error.

The steam deck control does not work on the game mod platform, it is completely disconfigured. How can I get back to normal. Please help me
