I should have just bought that 1tb micro SD

Like someone else mentioned I don't want to do the whole installation process again .

Mass effect legendary over 100gb
Red dead over 100
Do u play 2 heavy games like that at the same time? And how long does it normally take a steam deck game to download? It would probably take me 35-45 minutes to download red dead on my Pc, wanna know what that would look like on the deck

Takes long on my steam deck with wifi . Took me like 2 hrs to download mass effect and another 30 min to install

Currently have mass effect, sonic frontiers, crash Bandicoot, nba 2k23 and spiderman on my card

You could download the game from somewhere else, and then use lutris to make it work on the steamdeck.
I did this to get Korra which was delisted on steam years ago, to work on the deck.

I wonder why they capped storage capacity at 512gb. I mean...I know you can get an SD Card, but why couldn't they make a SD with 2tb of storage? It could be a legitimate computer replacement and they could have captured that market too.

The more I tinker with this thing :wow:

For more demanding games, acceptable consessions can be made. A stable 50, 45, or even 30fps is a hell of a lot better than being unstable to play on high/max :manny:

Darksiders 2 and 3. Especially 3.
Those are kinda old. Seems they should be able to hold 60 easy. I’m pretty sure they run at 60fps on Series x and PS5.

Do you think they are just poorly optimized games?

Thanks. I’m just trying to gauge the level of performance on one of these. It seems AAA games i might be better off just playing on xbox.
