*** The Official Steam Deck Thread ***

Basically my findings are that I play games on it that I usually wouldn’t play on PC

E.g tower defence games
Hot wheels unleashed
etc. the sorta stuff I don’t sit down at pc for if that makes sense. And I’ve had no games that genuinely run bad. Some dips here and there in some cases but nothing really enough to bother me. I guess you gotta try it and see how it is from your pov.

Big fan of Hot Wheels on the deck! Looking at picking up Tony hawks now it can be played offline. Dammit steam sales!
 
Anyone played F1 23 and/or Dave the Diver on the deck? Both in the steam sale and say they are playable, tempted to pick them up for when the OLED arrives.

So is Endless Dungeon, oh god this sale looks dangerous for my wallet :cry:

Can't find it now, but saw a reddit post of someone playing Dave the diver on a submarine to prove it's "play anywhere" credentials. Looks like the steam deck reddit rate it, so worth a go. As for F1, I've only see linus tech tips using it for the benchmarking tool. It seems to run!

Yep same. Mine left the Netherlands at 19:38 on the 20th. That's the last I have heard from it. Who knows where it is.

Was secretly hoping for someone to say at least one of them doesn't run haha
 
I’m currently playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider on it, runs great at medium preset at 40 fps, with in game FSR on.

Aiming with the right thumbstick is a bit difficult though, had to crank the aim sensitivity right down in steam deck settings, and reduced the ridiculously large default deck deadzone (essential for all deck games), but still not as easy to aim as on an xbox controller.

My bad. Terrible. Absolutely terrible. Admittedly....not sure how I feel about playing something like F1 on a small device....but then I have a full on sim rig for things like that (and haven't played a Codies F1 game in years!)

Same since the 20th, still no update from the GLS tracker and parcelforce still says it’s with GLS. Surely it’s reached the UK by now.

I doubt we're getting them this week now, but still hopeful of getting it in November :)

it may move quick once it "reaches" uk.. parcel farce usually delivers on the day their tracking picks it up when it comes to internatinonal packages. I often get stuff from japan and that takes 10-12 weeks, I only get any real info on day of delivery from parcel force. And 10 weeks of silence.

Mine appears to still be sat in a warehouse 'Packaged items' so you're ahead of me. I ordered at 18:23 on the release day.
 
amazon delivers much quicker from other euro ports so why can't GLS

why did valve choose this delivery service that would be my first question

i'm not confident about royal mail/parcel force i've had a RM parcel due to be delivered yesterday never turned up its out again today at the same time but it wouldn't shock me if it didn't turn up again either

I have a delivery with DPD today and i'm 100% confident i will get it at the time they said

DPD are my goto delivery service if i have a choice
 
Amazon's logistic side probably has got more investments in the calendar last year than GLS has in their company history.

Buying things that are shipped outside the UK, especially since the B word has taken longer than before, more paperwork, and more bureaucracy.

When I got my original SD, it took 7 days from shipping to delivery.

just looked at the after ship app and it says NL to UK usually takes 9 days :eek:

i don't think it will take that long but what on earth takes it days to travel 420 miles

and to compare danny is 30 mins away with my DPD delivery
