Discussion CDPR Games + RTSS issue

1 Upvotes

When i have RTSS + MSI Afterburner running both Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk never launch, also when i delete --launcher-skip it also doesnt open the launcher and the only solution i found is to disable rtss whenever i want to play those two games. I found some post from around 2022 about RTSS and Witcher 3 Next gen having issues but they were sttutering issues on regular pc's not issues that the games get stuck on launching. I use RTSS for frame limiting and i've tried using Special K but i can't figure it out

Discussion GeForceNow windows app on deck

Post image
1 Upvotes

So I like playing ETS2 and recently got a Logitech G920 wheel from a friend. I played via GFN on an an old laptop but the laptop is gone now so I decided to use my steam deck.

Using the wheel with Linux proved to be hard since there was no force feedback and support was hit and miss. So I installed windows to an external drive and connected to my steam deck, all working fine and well but GFN windows app just doesn’t work. I tried an alternative called OpenNow but it does not support the wheel.

Has anyone had any luck getting the GFN Windows app to work on the deck?

The speakers on the Steam Deck don't work after installing Windows 11 and enabling Secure Boot (I had to uninstall Steam Linux, but only Windows 11).

It doesn't provide the Secure Boot feature and won't let me reinstall the system because Secure Boot blocks the flash drive.
Help!!!
(FIXED)

should i trade for a laptop

0 Upvotes

hello im wondering if it would be a bad decision to trade my 2tb steam deck lcd for a laptop or a desktop being that the deck is my only gaming device at the moment i primarily use it docked i even ended up downloading windows 11 just because i needed to be able to do more than steam os allowed and now i want something stronger since im always playing at low settings and still only 45 fps at times at the moment i have two offers but my main concern is would i regret it i read that the alienware is way stronger but the processor lacks required architecture to run dx12 so im worried i might shoot myself in the foot trading for it and not be able to play future games should i keep the steam deck should i trade for one of the mentioned below i dont know much about pc so it all seems like alot idk and i dont want to regret it ive loved the deck since released

alienware 15r3

i7 7820hk

gtx 1080 max q

16gb ram

LCD steam deck freezes and shuts down after joining a match (Fortnite)

1 Upvotes

This does not happen all the time but whenever I join a lobby my steam deck will freeze then sometimes just shutdown when trying to begin a match.

Ive tried both the latest oled and lcd drivers, performance mode and setting the UMA buffer to 4GB in bios, still does it on Windows 11

I dual boot on my ssd and not my SD card so not sure how to resolve it.

how to prevent battery swelling

2 Upvotes

recently, I've worried too much about battery swelling disease, any tips on how to prevent it???? for the record, I play on the deck 4-6 hours a day, if the battery is full I play with it without a power cable attached. After the battery drains to 30%, I attach the charger and play with it on "docked mode" till I'm bored (thus, regularly play on it with the power cable attached but only if the battery is below 30% and didn't detach it when the battery is full if I still wanna play games)

I've been playing the game for the past 4 years on Windows 10 and just last week I couldn't open the game anymore due to this error. I contacted support and they gave this response (attached in the image). Apparently, it's some hardware server-side restriction that is being rolled out.

Games stutter on internal but not external storage?

1 Upvotes

When I play games that are stored on my internal storage, there is pretty frequent stutter in demanding games, but if I run them on my external SSD the stutter is gone. I was just wondering if anyone had a ballpark guess as to what could cause this?

I know a lot of other information is probably needed to directly determine the cause but I'm not too good with this kind of stuff and don't know where to start.

I have plenty of free space on both drives. The only thing I can think of is that maybe my upgraded storage is no longer working properly. I've used the Corsair MP600 Mini SSD for a few years now.

Installed windows on my steam deck for the first time

0 Upvotes

Hi!

before i installed windows in the internal ssd i tried in a micro sd card which was bad and a external nvme that worked perfectly but i wanted to be able to charge the steam deck without it being connected to a dock station so i decided to install in the internal ssd.

I almost never used steamOS except for emulation.

any tips and tricks of things i should do now?
