Valve mentioned on their FAQ that the Deck can be used as a controller for your main PC only through Remote Play. Have you tested the practicability of this method , latency, ease of use/etc?

Can we copy files from steamapp games from PC and put them on deck? For some games, downloading twice is a pain. this can be good content. I think I wish there was a local download from the local network PC on steam so we can copy from our main rig and transfer the game file that way.

Traditionally LAUNCH OPTIONS for non-steam games have been mostly broken. I guess somebody got around to fixing that long outstanding bug (and the issue with the non-steam games adding incomplete paths initially)

[ 2022-03-31 00:46:10Z ] 👍 0

I don't think either is fully fixed. The paths are still broken up if they include spaces, and the launch options seem to only work for environment variables with Proton. It seems the proton python launch script has special logic to parse these env variables but it doesn't seem to allow calling custom executables before the %command% placeholder

Is it possible to add something to the SD card as non-Steam game (not from a launcher like Epic/GOG)? I've copied already installed games from my PC (straight out of C:\Games) and they work on Steam as non-steam game, but I can only point to the Downloads folder on internal memory. Is the trick to add like it this and then just completely change the path later? Or does the launch option STEAM_COMPAT_MOUNTS=/run/media/mmcblk0p1/%command% automatically make it know how to find it?

I'm having a hard time getting this to work. I've followed the guide to the letter, but I can never launch the Epic Store. I can install it using the msi file downloaded from their site, then I go to change the target and "start in" options, but when I hit "play" nothing ever happens. Just stays on the Steam library page, nothing ever opens. There is currently no win64 folder since it's never even done the first boot of the store at all, just the same Win32 from initial setup. Any ideas anyone? Edit: just figured it out. Apparently I did not follow the guide "to the letter" as I thought. I was running from /home/doorstop/.local/ instead of /home/.local Once I switched over to the right directory it booted properly.
