Oh that’s interesting. Same thing happens with my Deck when I launch W10. Have to wait for Steam to launch before my Deck controls work.

I’ve been so back and first with this controller man. No aux jack, but the USB-C port could be used with a 3.5-to-USB-C converter to get audio while the puck charges the controller on the back. Then this Windows driver thing, but it not really being an issue because it works through Steam.

Slight inconveniences with moderate workarounds. Doesn’t help that it’s $100.

No Windows drivers? So I can’t use the controller with my Windows 10 Steam Deck dual boot?

DOA for me.

I get this when it reaches 10% iirc

I drive Windows mostly on my Deck but only because Marathon doesn’t run on Proton (yet).

Otherwise I always ran SteamOS for Chivalry 2.

I dual boot SteamOS and Windows 10 IoT LTSC mostly because there are still some game developers that can’t figure out how to enable anti-cheat for Linux.

And does Windows rewrite my boot sequence every time?

Sure, but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

Same bro!!

I really want this!!!

Lol exactly! These kernel level anti cheats don’t stop cheaters!

Tbf, the beta is free, while the full game won’t be. Money is definitely one thing that deters cheaters, but at the same time probably not as much as we think. Cheating is an industry nowadays

Thanks for the info

I’ll check it out thanks!

I’m starting to see how much of a trap it is!

I’m interested in multi booting different distros. Any guides on how to wipe my current deck and start over? I’ve heard Bazzite and PopOS are pretty slick, and I still want to keep SteamOS.

Yeah fuck corpos!!!

I saw that comment. I’ll look into it!

Hey I didn’t know TF2 was so active!

I think I had it in my Steam Wish List for a while, but I can’t remember if I chose to abandon it because I had heard the game was dying or something. Had no clue about the private servers and stuff.

Maybe I’ll try it out! Thanks!

Oh yeah, apparently I updated W10 a few months ago accidentally (not even knowing the implications to this) and it wiped GRUB. The only way I’m able to boot into SteamOS now is to power the Deck from OFF into W10, shutdown, boot into BIOS, and select one of the EFI files. Not ideal, but it still works. That’s all I’m looking for for now, that my Steam Deck still functions.

One of the things that’s concerning me long term is that it seems like the Steam Deck can’t fully restart to do system updates. When it does, the Deck boots straight into W10, cancelling out any progress on the updates. There might be a way to fix this, but I’m not a tech guru! (Even though I’m an engineer).

Appreciate the protection recommendations btw. The more I live in a dual boot world, and the more games that release on Steam, the more I’m willing to completely scrap W10. I still enjoy the BFs tho, and Delta Force isn’t a good alternative. As my taste in games change, who knows.

Thanks for the help

Yeah, big same. I mean, I’ve had a lot of fun on the older games like BF1 & BF4. I’ll probably keep playing those for as long as I can.

And if EA ever kills those, I hope StopKillingGames in the EU someday reverses it

Yeah I figured this is the end of the rope for Steam Deck Secure Boot. I bumped the Steam post that the creator of the GitHub guide made to see if things have changed since 2022/2023, but I’m not betting on it.

Honestly if I go through with any troubleshooting to fix Secure Boot, it just means I’ll be bending the knee to EA who are a shit company in the first place. I’d rather boycott one of their games for these shitty practices and play some of the older BF games that at least still have server browsers and don’t require Secure Boot (yet).

Risks absolutely outweigh the rewards on this one, 100%. Hate to see so many EA and M$ shills out there defending all this

Interesting, hadn’t seen this quirk in my research. Thanks for sharing.

I may be willing to wipe my partitions clean and do a fresh W10 install, but there would need to be a video guide from Bald Sealion or others.

Honestly the more and more I look into this mess, as you rightfully put it, it’s not worth it for 1 game.

Classic troll pulls their ripcord as soon as their interlocutor brings receipts.

Thanks for doing that btw. SO many more people will read the actual sources in this thread and come to their conclusion instead of yours.

L debate skills

As much as I like to stan China for how they treat their billionaires and corporations, this is wrong. Sex work, in all its forms, is a valid, lucrative, and old line of work across the world. China is one of the most developed nations on Earth. They should also be the most progressive when it comes to this. Smh

The American people do love their bread and circus.

I’m not sure why Trump isn’t frightened by the prospect of the American people missing those things.

Soy Right, at it again
