It's certainly playable, but I'm tempted to wait for the FSR 2 update before I get too far into it.

I'm hoping that between other performance fixes and FSR 2 the game will get a significant deck performance improvement over the next few months.

You don't usually need different versions of proton for most games. Games will be identified as working on a specific version of proton, but you can usually run them on the newest version without issue.

The two exceptions to this are:

  1. If a game won't run on the newest version of proton, you may need to go back to an older version. This doesn't happen very often, but it is a concern.

  2. GE proton is a special variety of proton that has extra media codecs and some game specific hot fixes built in. The media codecs can't be included in regular proton for legal reasons. If cutscenes in a game don't work it can be a missing media codec. This isn't usually an issue for steam games, valve is able to use fix the video cutscenes by distributing shader cache files. But for a 3rd party launcher like heroic, many games will require GE-proton.

That's a 5.5" screen, I'm guessing it was a high production phone screen that had stock already available.

Unfortunately the 7-8" screen market seems to have very few OLED options.

Valve can't afford to do it unless the market grows and the steam deck 2 is projected to sell way more copies.

There also.arent that many tablets with OLED screens, and all of them are basically 12" screens. 8" tablets aren't popular enough for OLED screens.

It happens to the best of us.

My understanding is OLED aftermarket screens aren't really possible, the cost of OLED screens is too high unless you're producing an insane amount of them. The market for handheld PCs isn't big enough for any company to place a large enough OLED order.

Only ways we'll get OLED screens on any handheld PCs is if they forecasted sales are extremely high (don't know the exact numbers, but probably 10+ million minimum expected sales), if they can be designed to use an OLED screen designed for a different device (similar to how the deck screen was originally a tablet screen), or if there's a significant change in the pricing of OLED screens. 3rd party non-OEM screens will probably never be OLED, at least for the foreseeable future.

It is bizarre to me how long it's been in development. I remember rumors that its release was imminent back in March.

No idea, maybe I bumped the nsfw toggle when posting. Switched it back now.

Are you sure that it's using your GPU? That seems way slower than I'd expect.

Thing is, human doctors already make a lot of mistakes that cause wrongful deaths. It wouldn't surprise me if it ends up being similar to the situation we're seeing with Tesla's self driving cars, where they clearly have safety issues, but still end up being twice as safe as human drivers.

That's a toggle under keyboard settings. With the toggle off (which is default behavior I think) the left trigger is shift and the right trigger is enter.
