"replies": [
{

"replies": [
{
"body": "Yeah. I had a good time playing Battlefield 4 on the Deck thanks to the gyro (didn't use touchpad). I was not as good as I was on desktop PC but good enough to be usefull, kill a lot of people and have fun."

"replies": [
{
"body": "My mind cannot compute that. I have tried trackpad for aiming but it’s too erratic and turning takes too many swipes. If I set it to be fast, then aiming is too jittery. What are your settings?",

{
"body": "You could probably track that you just have to figure out what works best for you. Especially if you already have started using the gyro and have started getting a feel for that.\n\nJust take some time to sort it out and get better at using it. Take a couple of weeks for it to click for me initially and many months before I became proficient at it. Nearly 10 years later and it's my preferred method now."

"replies": [
{

"body": "Overwatch 2 runs at 60fps on the Deck right? Rivals should too, I suppose since it looks pretty much the same. I know engine and stuff will be different, but here's hoping. I want to get into the game but don't wanna play on the PC or console.",

{
"body": "Really good news. This game isn't really in my radar but the more games with Steam Deck support (or at the very least able to launch and play it) is always a good thing."

},
{
"body": "Good stuff!"
},
{
"body": "It's cool and all but what I've learned is that verification means pretty much nothing. Some games are verified but work like total ass, e.g. Detroit Become Human easily drops FPS to low 10s on low graphics settings. Horizon Zero Dawn has traversal stutters down to low 20s / high 10s. And other times unsupported games work just fine, e.g. NFS Payback.\n\n\nThough, devs claiming the support is a good thing, meaning it at least is getting verified not just for the checkmark.",

},
{
"body": "Here's hoping it is true, because as of now the app just closes on boot. And I'm not sure if the anti-cheat is to blame here."
