Hey all :) first time posting in these forums.
I can't really come up with a lot of topics but... I found out today that steam put out a new hardware on their front store, called the steam deck. it looks like a better switch. I assume it can play most or all steam games... so since FFXIV is a steam game, I was wondering if yall think it can run the game? performance wise I'm sure it'll have no problem, I don't know what the GPU is equivalent to, probably weaker than the PS5's, but 16GB DDR5 RAM and between 720p-1080p, 60hz.
If it does run it, I'll consider getting it, the most expensive model cause the cheapest model doesn't have enough hard drive space. If it doesn't run it and only plays a few select games from the library, then I'll probably not bother, it's a pretty cool looking system though so I'm interested in what it can do.
The new Steam Deck, do you think it will run FFXIV?

You have to remember, the Steam Deck runs on Linux.

“On Steam Deck, your games run on a different operating system than the one on your desktop PC. It’s a new version of SteamOS, built with Steam Deck in mind and optimized for a handheld gaming experience.” The new version of SteamOS features Proton, which is a compatibility layer that will aid in running games without the need of new ports. Valve states that it will work with vendors to improve anti-cheat solutions through Proton.“

Personally. I'd wait for reviews before dropping that much money on this thing.
Valves history with hardware isn't exactly great... -
07-16-2021, 04:26 AMWilford111You can list all the compatability fixes, emulators, you name it, but nothing is prefect and you'll always run into issues where you have to spend some time (and a few headaches) to get things working on Linux.Quote:

Or, you can wipe the device, install Windows and do it that way.

I'm pretty certain Dota comes pre-installed on that stupid thing. (Gab's favorite game and the only game he says he'll ever play according to what he said in a interview years ago)
Man why does Valve keep doing this? All we want is Half-life 3 and instead they create devices we never asked for. -
07-16-2021, 05:50 PMHollowedDollValve is a company where people work on whatever they want, in theory... but usually stuff that pays more is things like Dota 2.Quote:
