Mine is in the delivery system as well. I've never heard of Evri before, do they deliver to Northern Ireland? 

 

 

They didn’t deliver mine. It was with Parcelforce. Didn’t have any issues. Hope it’s the same for you.

Was this recently? I think Parcelforce did some early ones but it's mostly been Evri since then.

F1 2020 runs nicely at ‘High’, 10W TDP, 60 FPS or ‘Medium’, 7W TDP, 60 FPS. I could easily find the optimum TDP by moving the limit slider while running the in-game benchmark. 

Loving this little machine, and I’ve barely started tinkering with it! 
 

I have little interest on playing on any of the consoles now, thanks Valve... 😂

Very positive first impressions, lovely bit of kit in your hands and the screen is great.

 

Had a quick go on Noita and Teardown, nice to have access to PC gaming as not dabbled in it for decades and it's all the smaller indie odds and sods that interest me rather than tedious AAA spectacle.

Enjoying my Deck so far (got it Friday), though the LB has an issue where it needs a fair bit of pressure to register (ie beyond the 'click'). Gutted if it's gonna have to be replaced, but I suppose at least they are getting a lot more supply these days so it may not be a long wait..  

 

Other than that, it feels very capable and hasn't had issues with anything I've thrown at it yet.

I had that and got a replacement which took about 3 weeks. I imagine it will be faster now, though. 
 

In the interim you can easily just replace L1 with one of the back buttons. I ended up using both left side ones as duplicates for L1 before I sent mine back. There’s also an input test in settings you can try to make sure it’s not a bug or something (which may be unlikely but you never know!)

Anyone got the JSAUX Dock? Would you recommend it? It's my birthday so I want to treat myself :) 

 

I currently have this one but it's a bit awkward to use as it hangs off the top/back of the Deck

I have the upgraded JSAUX dock and would absolutely recommend it. Makes the Steam Deck nearly a Switch - rather than drop in, it's plug in.

So Overwatch 2 doesn’t have any kernal level anti cheat so it will run on steam deck (people played the beta on it). Does anyone have an idiots* guide on how I’ll get it running (it’s not on steam, it uses the Battle.net launcher, I think).

 

*Don’t be fooled by me mentioning the lack of kernal level, I just read it somewhere and don’t know what it means.

I haven't fucked with battle.net for a while, but with Diablo 2 remastered I followed these general instructions, but obviously basing it on the Diablo 2 install instead of Diablo Immortal.

 

I think the key thing is moving those DLL files to the place mentioned, and when you point to the overwatch launcher after installing it, make sure the launch arguement points towards the folder where battle.net resides.

Grabbed the fear complete pack  as it was on sale for £5 never played the series before. 

 

I only really played the first two (I think the third wasn't Monolith so I didn't look into it that much?), but they hold up pretty well if you can get past some of the graphics (lots of grey boxy office levels) and the tropeyness of the horror tropes. I bought FEAR 2 again a few years ago because I'd enjoyed it on 360, and you can probably go nuts with the graphical sliders these days.

i'm loving mine.

 

Didn't think that much of the Valve desk game thing but really liking Circuit Superstars, Teardown & that vampire thing.

 

Dipped my toe in the water with emulation too and got Krusty's Funhouse running via that emu deck, all seemed a bit daunting but getting the hang of the OS and getting the bios and rom files, complicated a bit for me being on Mac so can't drop my SD card into the slot on mac os desktop to put stuff on.

Fear 2 had an incredibly satisfying shotgun.

 

Days Gone runs shockingly well. Drop the resolution to 900x600 and turn on the fsr and it looks great. You can then freely twiddle with graphics settings to prioritise performance or battery as you wish. You can get 40fps quite easily in early areas but it will probably drop with big hordes later on. I went for a rock solid 30 with everything on high. Game is much more enjoyable in bite size chunks than I remember it being on PS4.

Once that is done you can just run it as a non steam game from the deck’s game mode, right?
