The USB ports don't work, erm...I'll pass.

Yeah i read the reviews but took a punt and its nowhere near as bad as they claim. The USB ports are not passthroughs which they never claimed were, they are there to charge other devices that's it.

Everything else has not affected its use, i put my deck on stand, plug in the usb c and it charges like it should do. I have a Anker USB C hub coming which i'll use for all my keyboard and mouse peripherals.

Not much of a dock if you need to purchase an additional usb c hub is it?

Just started steam and it logged me in just as quick as normal so it seems ok here for now.

Nice.

How are people getting on with other launchers? I'm expecting my deck later this summer but like most people, I have games spread across Steam, Epic, Gog, RStar, Ubi, Origin, etc.

You just need to watch half of the video. The majority of the video is just showing u the performance.

Even putting the device to sleep and back on to play valhala works!

Did it in my lunch break, installed Trackmania Turbo, found my favourite deck game. Thank you so much :-D

How does it work for games I have on Steam (AC2, Driver San Fran) that boot through ubi connect? Worth installing via steam or ubi connect? Only downside I can see atm is the battery profile on a 'per game' basis defaults to ubi connect, but assume I can just add the TM Turbo exe to steam and then go through that?

Mine didn't change either tbh, it just turned up one day. It should be any time now.

Did the last update say it was in UK? Have you checked the parcel force tracker?

No change since the 14th, parce force says GI logistics.

shiver · 19 Jul 2022 at 15:16

I must've been lucky then! They delivered pretty sharpish after it entered the country

This off the parcelforce site:

Imports into the UK

We are processing both GLS and postal imports with traffic flowing in both cases. Whilst there have been some short-term delays, items where duties, taxes and charges need to be paid are being processed through the depot network and recipients will be notified accordingly.

Where import items and in particular GLS imports require customs clearance these are flowing through the network but can be subject to delay due to import documentation requirements.

Lutris works brilliantly with gog and blizzard. In-fact my gf couldn’t play Gwent online without the lutris application
