The resolution of Quest 3 lite is the exact same as Quest 2. The form factor is the exact same with a new shell.

They probably swapped out the fresnel for pancake lenses, added a new shell with some new cameras for passthrough, changed the facial interface to the Quest 3 one, changed strap.

It's funny how they are calling it the Quest 3s when it's literally a Quest 2 with some modifications.

Hello all,

After hours of struggle before getting the Elden Ring Reforged to work on the deck, I just thought I'd share my guide to help anyone who is having trouble as well.

The whole process can be done with just the Steam Deck, but it will be much easier if you have a keyboard and mouse to pair it with the deck.

Also, this is for the Steam version. I cannot help if you have any other version.

Now without further ado, here are the instructions.

On the deck:

1. Make a clean/ vanilla save for Elden Ring. The best way to do this is to re-install your game, unless you know what files to delete. Just make sure to actually launch and play the game after re-installing/ deleting the files to actually make it a clean/ vanilla save. Also, make a backup of this save folder just in case.

Save file/ folder location

HOME/.local/share/STEAM/steamapps/common/compdata/1245620/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing

(Just copy the whole "EldenRing" folder)

2. Enter desktop mode and download + extract Elden Ring Reforged (ERR) to a temporary folder ("Download" is good enough)

3. Open "Steam" in desktop mode and click "Add a non-steam game" option.

4. In the new browser, click "Browse" and navigate to the folder where you extracted the ERR and select the file "Reforged UI Setup (run before first-time play).lnk" (If the file doesn't show up, make sure you change the extension option at the bottom of the browser to "All files")

5. Once it is added on the left panel, click the cog icon on the game page and change the compatibility to "Proton Experimental".

6. Launch the setup and follow the installer (once the setup is complete you can remove it from steam).

7. In the ERR folder, go into compatibility/linux and copy the "chr" folder to the "modz" folder (overwrite if prompted).

8. Move the "dll" and "modz" folder from the ERR folder to the Elden Ring game directory (HOME/.local/share/STEAM/steamapps/common/ELDEN RING/Game).

9. In the modengine folder, copy the "modengine2" folder and "modengine2_launcher.exe" file to the Elden Ring game directory.

10. Download and extract the proton enabled ModEngine 2

https://github.com/Cloudef/ModEngine2/releases/

11. Inside the ME2 folder, copy "config_eldenring.toml" and "launchmod_eldenring.bat" to the Elden Ring Game directory.

12. Add the "launchmod_eldenring.bat" in Steam using the "Add a non-steam game" option and rename it to Elden Ring Reforged and change the compatibility to "Proton Experimental".

13. Launch the game.

If all goes well, you'll be able to play ERR now. Happy hunting.

However, if you are one of those unlucky fellas like me who gets the "Failed to load save..." error in the title screen, despite having a clean/ vanilla save proceed to the next set of steps.

14. Open the Elden Ring Reforged compdata folder. (If you have added the "launchmod_eldenring.bat" to Steam using "Add a non-steam game" and launched it, a new folder in the compdata should have been created. Sort the folders by "date modified" and find the most recently modified folder)

15. If you have successfully found the compdata folder, copy the vanilla save to the Elden Ring Reforged save directory.

...compdata/(your ERR compdata ID)/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing

16. Launch the game (again).

Hopefully this will allow you to get passed the "Failed to load save..." error.

Like the title says, what games have you actually beat on the steam deck itself, I notice alot of people always say they play a game for like a few hours and then never play it again, so I want to know out of all the top games that people play, all those top steam games that are played on the steam deck, what games are you actually beating while playing in handheld? What games are you beating from start to finish playing only handheld, and on deck battery, I'll go first, the only game I beat on the steam deck, and I have over 100 games now since I bought it, is orcs must die 3, really good game I recommend it if u didnt play it, but this game me 2.5 hours of gameplay on a single charge from 100%, like I really want to know what games are you playing and beating on a road trip, cuz I have been switch between 5 games and haven't really play or progressed in that 2 hour drive, so what games are you beating on the go in hand held from start to finish?

Tldr: what games you beating from start to finish only on battery and using steam deck?

Hi Guys. I've been the happy owner of an original 64 GB LCD since they finally shipped mine Q3. Despite all the times I could have desperately used a storage upgrade (damn you shader cache!!!) I never thought twice about swapping my NVMe because, despite being somewhat hardware savvy, I can't financially afford to tinker with my SD and risk breaking anything. Instead I followed the steps to move the offensive storage hog folders to the SD card and lived my portable gamer life mostly worry free. About a week ago I went to wake the SD from sleep and it was frozen on a black screen. Not unusual, so I did a restart. This time it froze on the logo. I powered down, removed the SD card and restarted again, now getting the multi-choice Steam OS boot screen giving me the option to boot existing A, previous B, or erase user data. I did some research and found I most likely had corrupted data and to try erasing user data, and if that didn't work to re-image the drive. After trial and errors I followed the steps to re-image the drive and landed on the Welcome screen of my "new" deck, only to have it freeze again during installation validation. I restarted, and this time it froze on the Welcome screen. Then just bad boots. I decided to again re-image the drive, and at this point began getting the error: _Failed to start mount of removable drive sda#_ The drive also couldn't be located in Dolphin, and the only drive appearing was my boot USB. After several more attempts of re-imaging the results were the same.

I decided that my issue must be failure of the OEM internal drive, so I bought a replacement. It arrived today and installed flawlessly, but after once again attempting to re-image the new NVMe I got the same errors. The new drive isn't recognized either.

Am I missing a step? I started a ticket with Valve, but I feel like this has to be a software issue. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

I wasn’t doing nothing unusual, just playing hell divers 2 and the lines showed up, it slowly shut down and the fans went high blast… did I do something wrong?

I play with a friend that none of us can hear in VR unless we cup our hands over our ears (they've even upgraded to a Q3 in hopes that would help—but it did not). Any suggestions for earphones that are compatible with the BoboVR S3 Pro headstrap for Q3 (it's on pre-order).

BoboVR has earphones but it looks like it may only compatible with the PSVR boboVR headstrap.

Our friends that have headphones connected through their PC can hear him... but most of the group only plays via standalone.

It was available for me after the second v63 update which arrived today to my region. I tried it on youtube app, venta x and vrchat, all worked fine. You can activate it from experimental settings.

I have no idea why it took 3.5 fucking years to implement this but it works fine at least. Now all I need is some decent 180º asmr videos on youtube

Like the title says. I think the default media player is far too curved for enjoying a movie, and the fact you can't dim light around the screen is annoying as well. What is the best app to watch movies you've loaded directly to your Q3?
