Rob Huntsman Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I was wondering is it possible to optimize second life for gaming hand held pcs? or Is that just out of scope like second life mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the steps were but my roomie got Firestorm going on her Deck. It'll take some control input shenanigans too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was like scratching my head because I recall firestorm only supporting Windows OS and Apple OS, not sure if there is even a Linux version for second life.

Aya Sweetheart Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) I've been using Firestorm on Steam Deck a few weeks, and it runs great. I use it in Desktop mode so I can multitask and use browsers right and such, but it runs really good. 2 things I have noticed. 1. It will not always detect GPU memory on start up right, and can have issues in what capabilities it gives. You can go into Steam Deck bios and set the GPU to start with a min 4GB ram and then it works much better. 2. In Desktop mode, in Steam, you can program how all the controls work to customize exactly what you want for controls. It took me a while to get all types of keybindings to work the way I wanted. It works good. Edit: 3. I will add I can get slightly higher FPS in Gaming mode vs Desktop mode... but then you cannot really multitask over to a web browser for links or anything because browsers run with too many problems in gaming mode.

Coffee Pancake Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 If you want steam deck specific development to happen .. gonna need to get a steam deck into the hands of a TPV developer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 It's good to hear that Firestorm works on the steam deck. How well does it run? How high can you run in the graphics preferences of SL at a good frame rate? I hear the deck is now available for purchase without a preorder.

Jenna Huntsman Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I believe a couple of the Alchemy devs have the Steam Deck, may be worth keeping track of Alchemy for updates on Deck specific stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
