I went on vacation Nov 12 to Nov 17, had a steamdeck in my cart at the start of the month to take with me on the plane. Decided last minute that i didn’t need it. Got home, popped open steam to see “Steam DEck OLED now available” and decided it was a sign I was being rewarded for my good decision not to buy the OG steamdeck, so I bought the 1TB LE deck instead. Now mine’s stuck in shipping limbo, but it’ll get here at some point.
Hope you get yours soon!
Install Emudeck and ProtonGE - both take 5 minutes (for some reason I thought ProtonGE would be really complicated and put it off for a long time - it’s handy to have for the custom fixes for some games).
You might need to install xone for some controllers (e.g. the 8bitdo Xbox one in my case).
Install protontricks in case you need to deal with launcher or dependency installs for specific games (e.g. Rockstar Social Club).
Always check ProtonDB before buying a game for an idea of any issues (and add to it if you find some yourself!).
Install the Heroic Games Launcher and Heroic Games Bash Launcher to add games from Epic to Steam directly (getting Rocket League to work took some trial and error). GOG games can also be added this way (and were much easier too).
The Anker 8-in-1 dock works great (although I use the official one at home for the TV). But a high-quality USB-C cable (good data transfer, at least 45W power delivery, etc.)
Note if you use an official Xbox controller you need to update the firmware on Windows (Xbox app) or an Xbox first to ensure the Bluetooth works.
Perfect, thanks for the response! I’ll have to look into proton I am unsure of what that is. Emudeck is a must. Does that protontricks also work for battlenet?
just play it?
Sick advice man 🙏
