      Sunshine/Moonlight streaming is best of both worlds, my deck stays charged all day and stays cool and my PC in the other room doesn’t heat up my bedroom anymore.

    I love my Steamdeck, it’s my main gaming rig, but I really wish I could play Dragon’s Dogma 2 or Remnant 2 on it. (I know it’s up to the game devs to make their games compatible, no shade on the Deck here.)

      Remnant 2 is acceptable, I played through it with a friend some months back. Can’t use any framegen with it (even lsfg) or the input lag is horrible, and the framerate is never stable, but it was able to hold a shaky 30 for basically my whole playthrough, while looking decent.

        Could you not simply render a lower resolution? It’s basically what I did in the past 30 years when my PC isn’t up to the task even on low settings.

          It is rendering at a lower setting, and then using fsr/etc to upscale. It’s basically necessary to run the game at all.

          However the shaky frame rate issues are probably more an optimization issue, and will be hard (or impossible) to get rid of.

    Can’t be bothered connecting a mouse and keyboard to my deck for that kind of game.

    Turns out that “that kind of game” also includes more than I expected!

      Steam + X opens the onscreen keyboard. Hope that helps

      I have a dock. Highly recommend it if you don’t have a desktop. It’s a one second plug in for games that are better with keyboard and mouse (RTS / FPS).

        Although there are few games that simply won’t let go of the steam deck controls.

        You need a 3rd party decky plug-in to get it resolved.

        I do have a desktop so no real point. I use a dock to plug in to the TV and connect controllers though.

          How do you connect the controllers?

          I tried my Xbox wireless adapter but it doesn’t work

            I had no problems so no idea about troubleshooting. Wired ones show up on plugging in, Bluetooth ones are detected fine. We even have an official Nintendo controller working.
