I’d love to know what settings you use to get 3 hours. I’m lucky if I can get an hour and 35 minutes.

i haven’t used desktop mode since that guide was posted in the instance this week.

love it!

odd. i went and tested and apparently at ‘default’ it does the cursor weirdness, but ‘native’ seems to have completely fixed it.

as for the script, I followed the instructions to the letter, and input my screen’s resolution properly but it just sort of flashed for a moment and never started.

i tried for quite a while to get it working. different settings, even tried different resolutions to see if it just didn’t like my display, but nope. no dice for me =(

but after doing some ddg searching, many people have had the resolution issue with nested. so I can see why you had so many difficulties in finding a solution 😭.

i will work on it a bit more tomorrow and see if I can’t get the script working.

thank you for making the guide! i didn’t know this was possible until today and its been nice to not worry about swapping to desktop. <3

this is absolutely wonderful but I seem to have issues with the mouse cursor not seeing the entire bottom of the desktop bar. so I’m unable to open apps.

but I wonder if thats a resolution issue.

edit: after tinkering for a bit, it doesn’t seem Nested will actually work with docked mode. it seems to only be functional for handheld mode, sadly. as the alternate resolution method did not work at all.

i don’t mind using the app in 800, but ive been unable to use it at all due to the cursor issue in docked mode.

works well in handheld, I guess (after rebooting). so that’s nice!

but to those looking to firefox without going to desktop mode in docked, this will not be a solution. =(

Second Edit: Eureka! go to game properties and set it to “native” and it will allow access to the whole screen.

ooooh how very exciting! will keep an eye on this. i run DLSS on basically everything. wonder what will be better.

oh I’m good where I am with the deck. in future I’m sure it will get smaller, not bigger.

that, and competitors can’t seem to come up with a decent trackpad the way steam deck has. so competitors will need more than a higher resolution and a huge fat monitor.

just my opinion, anyway.

mazel tov. enjoy.

edit: lol. i missed the “not” cause I read too fast. enjoy what you’re playing regardless.

compared to a laptop, I would. even a small one.

i agree. the reason steam deck and other handhelds work well is because of the smaller screen/resolution.

makes it light and games run ok due to the smaller resolution. a chonker like this completely defeats the purpose of a handheld imo.

i use mine a lot. for WoW I have them set to scroll wheel in and out, auto run and mount

for other games I tend to use them for combo button presses. or set up specific layer commands with them.

no I’m not going to do a full reset when everything works already. lol. ive been living with it and its fine.

the phone thing is neat but is a gimmick I can live without, to be honest. and looking at a reply or two, I’m not the only one who had jankyness trying it.

but thank you <3

exact same experience. it doesn’t work well, unfortunately.

i am not able to use bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth controller at the same time with the steam deck.

the sound just constantly stutters. its been that way since I got the deck. so its been years now.

ok so I just tried it. it does work but it is kinda temperamental. and doesn’t work flawlessly.

the signal keeps getting interrupted and janky as bluetooth can kinda be odd when it comes to having more than one device connected to it at one time.

especially audio. so yes it technically works, but its not going to be super usable.

followed. hell yeah.

done! huzzah!

oh gods yes. every time I switch to desktop mode its a gamble. are we going to get to the desktop home? or am I going to have to unplug and replug several times until it does?

I’ve had a lot of these issues with the official dock. i hear 3rd party docks are much better and more consistent than the official steam dock.

but I spent 90 dollars on a lemon and now it’s been too long for me to return it. so I’m stuck with it now.

i use Freetube on my deck which you can set the default video resolution to 1080. works well in gamemode.

oh my goodness! is that an abyssinian kitty?

i do not need the cable, but i just wanted to say the cat is beautiful. <3

considering decky broke completely when the new update dropped, a new version of decky was needed for most of us.
