Hahaha you got that right. 4k and 120 frames on this game really makes my PC sound like it’s ready for lift off

I think they’re just saying it can also do cloud gaming. It can definitely run games on its own offline

im sure it could just like an itouch or iphone does. but yeah to get the same aesthetic for a game like PHG would require streaming. You can’t get the same visuals at all if it were running without an actual high powered GPU because you’d have to calculate lighting and such. Just because its at 480p doesn’t mean they render that small…but again i could be wrong.

Welp I’m getting it in a week, I guess we’ll see.

Saw a demo of it running Elden Ring so it can’t be terrible

Apparently it runs most game at a decent performance, no streaming required.

When it arrives I’ll let you all know if that’s true lol

yeah send me your steam code

1280 × 800 is its resolution on its native screen and can outout 8k which to me is only referring to its native OS being able to do so, remember even iphones carry 1280 × 800 but have 2x sampling. meaning iphones have double that resolution to make it display at 1280x800 for regular browsing and photo editing without the quality looking like crap. This is iphones antialiasing.

Goodluck eitherway. This steam deck supposedly will be able to emulate PS3 games whenever that shit comes into the library.

The GPU power is apparently comparable to a GTX 1060 on the Steam Deck.

I’ve been impressed what I’m seeing so far as a handheld.

I have Steam Deck and PHG.
Installed it yesterday as it is one of the games using easy anticheat that can be configured for Steam Deck (Vampire the masquerade Blood Hunt uses.the same anti cheat and works fine on Deck).
Unfortunately PHG is not configured for the Deck. What does it mean? Game will boot up, you will see AntiCheat loading, then error and game will start with anticheat off. From there Game is working, 40 - 100 FPS depending on config. Main menu loaded with animations no graphical artefacts or glitches. All models load fine. You have access to config, setup and character management. but quick play and other session starting options are offline due to anticheat being off.

For anyone waiting on deck to play PHG, it would be good to pressure devs to include deck in support.

Devs. Please include Deck in support game seems to work very well performance wise.

My deck finally got delivered the other day as well. I also ran into the same problem with the anti-cheat.

I’m really thinking about installing windows on the deck so I can play PHG on the go

I’m not sure if you are using the linux based steamOS on the steam deck and what has happened with EAC support on linux since the steamdeck was released. It may be that either EAC is still not supported on linux and VTMBH just doesn’t care is not running, or that just some versions of EAC are compatible on SteamOS

does it void the warranty?

Does not void the warranty but you won’t get support if you run into issues, you’ll only get support for reinstalling the SteamOS

This is probably the move.

then you can play star citizen at 720p minimized on a 10 inch screen 25fps with the gang

and pirate games. most importantly AvP2.

I wouldn’t do it as Steam Deck os (SteamOS 3.1 “HoloOS”) gains more and more support daily. Literally every 1 -2 days there is a quick os update providing new features and adding compatibility to titles. Also performance drops on Windows in many titles just as some features like hot sap for SD Cards and sleep mode tend to not work at all.
On community front it seems that there is work being done to make easy boot loader which would allow for dual boot in the near future. (I’d wait)

EAC seems to be supported (https:// www.nme. com/news/gaming-news/steam-deck-now-supports-easy-anti-cheat-games-3144260 ).
VTMBH works with it and ate cheat is present and working as it can fail/crash which happened to me once. In such case access to servers hosting sessions is cut off which seems to be also the case for PHG.
It is willingness of Devs if they will adjust EAC for SteamDeck.

If there would be need on Devs side to test modified Anti cheat and they need an experimental specimen I’m willing to participate ;)

Issue is not on EAC side but on the fact that devs didn’t update it for StaemDeck. Package update wouldd solve the issue.
VTMBH works perfectly with EAC on (that is definite - all on Linux).

Anyone get PHG to run on Steam Deck yet?

Yes. It is operational right now. Nothing fancy on the graphics side but you can squeeze the 30 - 45 FPS from the game on first gen Steam Deck. I play it regularly on the Deck and am quite fond about the experience.

Who bumps this shit…

Yeah I ended up getting it working! Steam updated it so it could get past the EAC
