Could it be both? Steam Deck refresh and the same refreshed board in the Deckard?

Just leaving that here... FFVII spoiler.

Spoiler, click me

Bryant Gardiner just said, in a youtube video, that Sephiroth is the character that killed Aerith, in FFVII...
Don't know if it has any importance, but found it interresting.

Edit: Bruce... What the... Bryant!

If you have space left on your drive:

Swapiness = 1
Swap file = 16gb

Did that with CryoUtilities and my CP2077 experience gained a lot in smoothness.

No need to raise the "dedicated" VRAM it proposes, it just artificially limits the available ram for no reason (shared memory between cpu & gpu. The system will automatically take the amount of VRAM it needs, anyway).

Just a wish and I'm probably totally wrong (I know nothing about the logic behind these codenames), but...

A Steam Deck hardware refresh (storage? Screen? Battery?) including an upgrade to a usb4 port and an egpu docking station to go with it...

One can dream...

I'm wondering what is the roadblock that Valve hit that stops them from releasing 3.5 (new feature? Kernel bug? Something else?)...

They skipped the second "E".

Just out of curiosity, what prevents Valve from upgrading Gamescope's integrated FSR with FSR2.2 or FSR3?

QuoteThere's currently somewhere around 92,000 games on Steam and so it's going to take a long time for Valve to check them all on Steam Deck but...

...how many of them are shovelwares that don't deserve to be reviewed?

Quoting: Klaas

Quoting: ZlopezI never heard about Steam doing exclusives, it's on developer/distributor to decide where they want to sell. In case of Epic they are forcing the developers/distributors to not sell anywhere else.

Exactly. I've never head that Valve payed anyone for exclusive releases – they all seem to be entirely voluntary. Although I wouldn't call if forcing either.

So I don't think there is any reasonable basis to compare Steam and EGS exclusive releases.

Epic's problem is because they want to please to the devs only. They put as little efforts as possible to please the paying customers and try to force them on their crappy service with exclusives. Having worked in a big brand store, there was this moto: "The customer is king".

On the other hand, "Just on the other side of the Street", there is Valve that offers the best customer experience you can get and keeps on innovating and developing new services. As long as Epic won't try to mimic that and even do better, they are doomed to fail, just like EA, Ubisoft and Blizzard (they all came back to Steam, at some point). Thing is, if they ever decide to do someting similar, the 88/12 figure is not going to be sustainable anymore. Oups!
