Anyone tried running GTA Vice City - Next Gen on Steamdeck? in c/[email protected]
[–] MrGaiety 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I think you might be confused, friend. The Vice City Next Gen project is standalone. Meaning it never required GTAIV to function properly. You install it and it'll work by itself. Treat it as it's own separate game.

These are my specific methods to get the game working- separate from the OP. I used Bottles instead of Lutris to sandbox the game.

I eventually got it working under very strange conditions. I had to grab the xinput1_3.dll from the Internet and tell Bottles to set it as one of my dll overrides.

The game now boots fine- but the graphics WILL corrupt every time you load the game. Changing certain settings (like messing with the Reflection quality or the resolution) fixes the graphics.

It's a pretty annoying issue atm, but at least I can confirm this game does work on Steamdeck via Bottles.

Please do not share any links. I just want to talk about the game.

I managed to get it running under Bottles, but the controller doesn't work. It's basically GTA: Vice City running under the GTA4 engine and honestly- the amount of effort they put into this is insane.

WTF is wrong with Killing Floor 2? (self.games)

The game now requires an always-online connection, even if you play offline. Just tried it myself by setting Steam to offline mode and you can never 'Ready Up' into a map. This was not the case before the Epic Games Store integration they did awhile ago.

The game is now bloated to 100+ GB install. If you already own KF2, you need to pay more for the Ultimate edition for all the silly weapon packs they added to the game over the years VS buying it bundled (???). All the stupid lootboxes are STILL in the game. It takes forever to boot this game off a HDD.

It just sucks man. I heard about the game in the anniversary post and wanted to play KF2 again. Its crazy how this game somehow gotten worse over time. How can KF3 possibly be good?

The game came out recently and I was taken aback by how much content and effort went into it. Alot of videos out for this game atm seem to be mostly reviews, so I thought it would be far more interesting to break the game down for ppl who might want to play it.

Did you want to watch a 56 minute analysis on a souls-like? This is a video about Lords of the Fallen: (youtu.be)

And maybe it's also about some other things.

I'll atleast promise you this:

This isn't me trying to push a low-effort post on Lemmy. LOTF is a very interesting souls-like that people discarded pretty quickly. I think the game is worth paying attention to- both what it does right and what it did wrong.

SteamDeck solution for Media Frontend? (self.steamdeck)
 

I like setting up my SteamDeck docked on my big TV. Newer games look rough at 720p, but playing older/indies at 1920x1080 + 4 controllers is a great experience.

Let's say I want the option to boot into a frontend that makes it easy browsing a local collection of shows/movies on a USB. What are my options? So far Kodi seems to do exactly that, but I've heard of Jellyfin/etc.

Can anyone confirm if paying for no ads on Sync is basically the same way?

Xbox PC USB Adapter still doesn't work on SteamOS 3.5 in c/[email protected]
[–] MrGaiety 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Gotcha. I get that the newer Xbone controllers have BT, but:

  1. Two of mine dont (older controllers)
  2. the ones i have tried on have worse latency than Dualsense (generally only newer controllers have actual good BT latency)

Its just frustrating the 360 adapter "just works" but this newer one doesn't.

Just a public PSA and was a little sad. I thought the latest kernel updates would address this. Until then, when you plug the official Xbox Wireless USB in- nothing happens.

The 360 Wireless USB adapter still works tho for some reason. 10+ years and its still kicking.

Metallic Child is underappreciated & on sale. Here's a 1-hour analysis tearing it apart: (youtu.be)

I'm shamelessly shilling my shitty youtube video. But I'll atleast include a TL;DW:

  • +High effort production value despite budget roguelite
  • +Really fun combat loop & decent post-update content grind
  • +Alot of unexpected heart & care put into the story
  • --Scummy microtransactions
  • --Meta progression system blows
  • --Combat has objective issues that makes it worse than other roguelites

Its a good game with annoying flaws. But if you're into isometric action Roguelites like Hades or Curse of the Dead Gods, then

Metallic Child is a niche roguelite that has alot more heart put into it than it first appears. You can check the game out here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1490610/METALLIC_CHILD/
