Yeah Amazon has a hosed up inventory system that occasionally means you buy counterfeits but, I don't think anyone is making fake GuliKits at the moment.

Anyone messed with Shadow of Mordor on the deck? For me it's displaying keyboard and mouse controls rather than controller prompts. Also the map function doesn't work controller-wise. Any tips on resolving this?

I've been playing it and it works fine, you're using the default input map? Not that it matters because it seems fairly well behaved when it comes to input mixing, I set it up for bow aiming with trackpad/gyro as mouse and it works great.

Weird, yeah, defaults... Wondering if maybe it's because I'm at work with no wifi and that confused the setup somehow, it did pop up a warning about playing offline. I'll fiddle with it more when I get home tonight.

How often are y’all using community layouts compared to just rolling whatever default pops up? I fired up Prey and it had a wild default. It had me using like R5 to pick up objects.

I generally use the default layout, with maybe a couple of tweaks to change things to my taste. For example I'm currently playing the first Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster on it and I've set the left analog stick's capacitive touch feature to automatically press the B button when I'm touching it so whenever I'm using the thumb stick I'm always running.

It had me using like R5 to pick up objects. Prey had native Steam Controller support in the really early days of Steam Input. It had onscreen button prompts for the SC and it would change the layout based on if you were in game or in the menu and maybe a third layer. I haven't checked Prey myself, but maybe it's just pulling the original Steam Controller configuration, which should still work ok. That type of support for the Steam Controller and the Steam was always very rare and obviously never caught on. I hope that the Deck brings back devs putting in button prompts and hooks for different configuration layers.

Is there a storefront for layouts? Someone said I should find one for StarCraft but when I open it and go to "community layouts" it just says it can't find any. Does it have to be for Steam specific games or are they sideloaded?

For non-Steam games it’s based on whatever you title it. “GZDoom” will pull up different configs than “Doom,” for instance.

I've been having some weird problems with mine in offline mode. Like if I try to put it in offline mode without an active wifi connection it completely bugs out and goes into a sort of "half-offline" mode that doesn't actually get recognized as offline mode (and can't be reset to online mode) until I full reboot the Deck. In this quasi-offline mode launching games becomes a complete crapshoot as to whether they'll work out not (probably because Steam doesn't actually know if it's online or not). Fortunately my job does have a wifi network and the Deck can sign on to it (unlike the Switch, but that doesn't really care if it's online or not like the Deck does). I'll have to try putting it in offline mode before I go somewhere at some point, but I usually forget because I'm not used to thinking about that with my devices.

Being off network hasn't really been an issue with me much so far, most games just go "oh I can't go online" and then go about their merry way, the Shadow of Mordor thing was the first problem I've had. But I haven't tried many games that check in with servers. Metal Gear Solid has been flawless without a net connection, except for one time when the cloud save didn't sync and I accidentally loaded the wrong one and lost one side mission's worth of progress.

When I first got a Switch I was Seriously Concerned with games working in offline mode. But with the Deck? Meh, anywhere I'd use it either has WiFi or hotspot, and anywhere that doesn't (airplanes) I wouldn't be taking it in the first place. (This isn't to excuse offline functionality from not working, I'd just probably never notice.)

I felt equally bad at the game. It runs very well though! The precision of a mouse might be preferable, but I think it's still a perfectly acceptable controller game.

The precision of a mouse might be preferable, but I think it's still a perfectly acceptable controller game. Thank you. I will pick it up. I’ve been playing a weird old game called Dark Scavenger (probably a bundle game from a decade ago) because it is Steam Deck verified or whatever. It’s very fun, although it’s very fiddly with the trackpad mouse. I don’t think it has any kind of controller support unfortunately. But it is kind of like a game book (Sorcery, etc), and I love that sort of thing. Maybe check it out if it’s buried in your backlog.

How do the DOSBox offerings work on the Deck, like say if I wanted to play Hexen? Any tweaks or shenanigans needed to get them to launch, or do they work out of the box, or not at all?

the 3d realms anthology uses dosbox and none of it worked for me. probably because it was the windows version of dosbox. i assume if you used linux dosbox it'd be fine, or w/e comes with emudeck

FYI Hexen itself is on Steam, but I assume that was just an example and you really care about Dosbox in general e: I just realised that it uses dosbox under the hood too. Ignore me.

Boneraiser Minions is also good on the deck. It might even suit it better since it doesn't seem to get quite as apocalyptically crazy as VS...so far.

You can install DosBox-X natively in desktop mode linux and just open it and run games via game mode. There are multiple ways of doing that via some frontend like Heroic Launcher I'm sure. Or Steam ROM manager that gets installed with emudeck. Dosbox works perfectly as such.

Played for about 15 minutes and it was a locked 60fps on default settings. But consumes over 20w. I lowered the screen fresh down to 45 and that feels smooth and runs at 15w, giving you an extra hour of battery life. I tend to not play my games over an hour, so I’ll probably go back to 60.

Is there any customization or alternate options for the desktop mode onscreen keyboard? Can’t seem to find anything. I’d like to have like ctrl keys and that sort of thing, would make messing around with the command line a bit easier. I just don’t want to be bothered with using a real keyboard. I’d also like it to treat the shift bumper like an actual shift key instead of the weird toggle poo poo it does. When I type a capital with it it defaults to holding down the shift for the next key.

Eeyo posted:Is there any customization or alternate options for the desktop mode onscreen keyboard? You probably want to export the default configuration first though since it's not actually a preset you can reload later otherwise. Also when in the Steam settings if you're not using a real keyboard/mouse you have to hold down the Steam button to make the trackpad work. Otherwise you can probably setup a button toggle Ctrl or whatever. That said, none of that affects things when the keyboard overlay is actually up. So all I did was map the dpad to up/down arrows to make running stuff from history easier, and set RT to "enter" so it works the same when the keyboard is open or closed. Really though if you're doing anything moderately complex on the command line just start sshd and login from a computer with an actual keyboard.

The trackpad keyboard is great imo, I can type insanely quickly with it, although I guess I have a lot of practice from the Steam Controller. You definitely need cursor key binds though.
