Kind of wild given that they release updates every other day and break features like Shadowplay until you update. You’d think at least it’d be secure.

I don’t think I’ve ever experienced shadowplay breaking because there’s an update pending.

Maybe it’s my specific card or something but it stops being able to record and none of my hotkeys work until I update. It’s happened at least half a dozen times for me, quite annoying.

IDew, to pcgaming in NVIDIA reveal new security issues in their GPU drivers for June 2024

Good to know. My ass hates updating shit and my drivers are still on nov 2023 so I should be fine lol

poke,

Seems to be a “all drivers below a certain version” issue.

taanegl,

The TL;Dr bot said this:

All driver versions below 555.52.04, 550.90.07, 535.183.01 and 470.256.02 are affected.

IDew,

Man, I can’t read for shit🥴 Time to update for once I guess

Omega_Jimes, to pcgaming in ASUS reveal the ROG Ally X with more RAM, more storage, larger battery

There are too many handhelds coming out too fast that are too expensive with no differentiation.

I don’t know how long these companies are going to stay in the market.

Vespair, to pcgaming in Hades II tops the most played Steam Deck games for May 2024

Deservedly so, imo

juice702, to pcgaming in Humble Choice for June has Risk of Rain 2, LEGO 2K Drive, Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector and more [referal links in the article]

Almost grabbed Battlesector last week on Steam. Think I’ll pick this bundle up!

franiis, to pcgaming in Humble Choice for June has Risk of Rain 2, LEGO 2K Drive, Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector and more [referal links in the article]

I’m most pumped for the Stray Gods Musical Game. It’s also on the list.

That “do I pass” game always messes with my head.

I thought this was a joke, but no it’s a real game. Played it on itch.io for a bit, actually seems like a good concept that fits the overall theme.

LiveLM, to pcgaming in ZOTAC Zone is yet another AMD [Windows] gaming handheld

Why do the controls for these Deck competitors always look like shit?

This one had track pads at least, but that dpad looks atrocious

olicvb,
@olicvb@lemmy.ca avatar

I know! I’ve been looking at all the other handhelds from Asus, MSI, Lenovo, and was really disapointed in the lack of touchpads.

Shouldn’t it be a no brainer for a desktop-os-sporting handheld, especially a windows one? At least the lenovo has that interesting mouse sensor on the bottom of one of their joycon-like controller, but that’s not gonna help much when you’re holding the device.

aBundleOfFerrets, to pcgaming in ZOTAC Zone is yet another AMD [Windows] gaming handheld

One of these manufacturers needs to partner with valve to get native steamOS on it or make an announcement saying valve said no.

yuri,

Valve probably hit em with a pretty high price for licensing. Not high enough to be entirely unreasonable, but I reckon they know they have the best OS by far.

helenslunch,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

The fact that Valve STILL hasn’t released an official SteamOS version leads me to believe they are the limiting factor here. But who knows, really?

It’s very weird to me that they came out of the gate with other OEMs with Steam Machines but now they want to keep it all in-house.

That being said there are several functionally-identical OSs they could choose from and partner with.

derbolle, to pcgaming in ZOTAC Zone is yet another AMD [Windows] gaming handheld

putting a full blown Windows on a gaming handheld is such a waste. this is one of the reasons why the steam deck reigns supreme

QuadratureSurfer,
@QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world avatar

While you’re absolutely correct, for those who don’t know, Windows does have an IoT version of their OS that removes most of the bloatware.

canis_majoris,
@canis_majoris@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah, but it doesn’t come standard on these devices. It’s literally just a full install of 11, with Teams and everything.

QuadratureSurfer,
@QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world avatar

Seriously?!

canis_majoris,
@canis_majoris@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah, the Windows handhelds are basically glorified laptops. This was kind of the approach with the ROG ALLY anyways with the XGM port, allowing connection to an eGPU enclosure with up to a 4090 inside. It just runs a full blown version of Windows and you can even put on a pro license and do dumb shit like have WSL or Hyper-V available on the device.

I have a ROG ALLY and I’ve debloated it to hell, but it’ll never match the power savings I would achieve if it was Linux-based.

I’ve been following Chimera and Bazzite on their progression for developing distros for the Windows handhelds, but it’s going to be a while before they will be fully viable on any handhelds.

Steam will always be ahead because they control the hardware and the software and they are able to fine tune the software to their very specific hardware, which is simply not happening for the Windows handhelds.

rotkehle, to pcgaming in Athena Crisis looks a lot like Advance Wars and now its code is open source

wow. I love the open source approach.

uranibaba, to pcgaming in Athena Crisis looks a lot like Advance Wars and now its code is open source

The single-player campaign, multiplayer, art, music, and content are not open source.

github.com/nkzw-tech/athena-crisis

So cool though.
