I just wish that indie devs would put in a version with UI/text that made the game more playable on the smaller screen. Dave the Diver on SD is fun, but squinting to read the text is not. Yeah I've played Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA IV on it and it works well, but yeah the smaller screen and battery make it really shine more with indies.

The fact it started out for delivery in the correct area then somehow ended up in another city makes me get a little wondering if they wanted a deck.

Hopefully you didn't hit the power button to turn off the screen while downloading.... That's the biggest annoyance I have with the Steam Deck, is that there's no "download in standby" mode.

stepee Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I guess it’s more noticed on a handled pc - as normally I would just turn off the display attached and let the pc continue to run so I don’t notice it. But my laptop is also the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't think it's entirely accurate or descriptive to call it a "sleep" issue so much as a "display" or "battery issue". It needlessly uses the battery to keep the display on while idle and downloading and, as stepee points out, with the OLED version it also potentially risks burn-in (depending on whatever mitigation techniques they've included, though I'm not familiar with this on the SD). I wonder if the release of the OLED version might actually usher in some changes to how the SD handles downloads, given these concerns.

You just need to add the key. You can do it from the app or from the deck itself. Cdkeys will email you a key. And you can even add it from the mobile app. Steam Support :: Activating a Product on Steam HELP.STEAMPOWERED.COM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Still no shipping date for me, but I went ahead and bought a bunch of games on sale that I've been interested in but never got around to that also feel like they'd be a good match for the deck. Picked up Dave the Diver, Hades, Talos Principle 1 & 2, Disco Elysium, and Oxenfree. Started Dave the Diver already and it's great. Fun little bite sized game that seems like it would be really at home on the deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
