Over the last week or so, I went to Gamescom to represent SteamDeckHQ, and it was a blast. I got to see so many awesome games and talk to many developers and publishers, and the majority of them were either very receptive, optimistic, or have already started implementing Steam Deck support!
In our article, we go over some examples, as well as me being known as “The Steam Deck Guy.” Though one I am happy to share is that the upcoming Epic Mickey Rebrushed will have full Steam Deck support at launch, and playing it on the Deck at Gamescom was phenomenal.
There’s much more we go into detail with in the article, but in the end, it’s looking very optimistic for Steam Deck support for future games.
I think Steam Deck is great and a huge impact on both Linux gaming and handheld gaming. My only gripe with the Steam deck is trying to use it in docked mode. I’m not sure if it’s the TV or the official dock but the only way I could get it working is when I disconnect all the wires from the dock and then connect them in the right order. I think it was 1) connect deck to the dock 2) Connect HDMI to the dock and finally 3) connect power to the dock. If I don’t connect it the right way the signal from the dock to the TV gets fucked up and I either get some really crappy resolution that doesn’t even get properly aligned, weird almost white noise or just straight up black screen. Not really a big issue for me since I mostly use the deck when away from home, but it still that using it at home is such a hassle (at least for me).
It’s too bad you’re having trouble with it. I’ve had almost 0 trouble with the dock. There was one instance where I couldn’t get video out, but it was fixed after restarting it twice.
Yeah, it’s definitely more of a case of being just unlucky because it’s not a common issue with the dock. Took me quite a while to find that wire trick.
