“portable” aka microsofts wet dream, everything requires internet and thus useless outside. Be better, be like steamdeck. But then why not just getting a steamdeck.
I’ve taken it to a camping trip and the experience was horrible. There’s all kinds of features that just don’t work properly when being offline, most of all profile switching, which we rely heavily on. It’s great that you had a better experience, but I can’t confirm that.
I’ve literally used it on a boat in the middle of the sea with no connection of any kind.
The deck, and steam, pretty much just keep working without internet where any installed games are concerned. Even if you don’t activate “offline mode” in advance.
No. I’m the sole user. Anyone borrowing it just uses my profile.
Did I claim any and all features work out in the woods?
Profile switching on steam currently logs you out, and then into the other account. There’s no login retention of every user that’s set up, so switching between users obviously won’t work while offline. Maybe it could, but not the way it works rights now.
This is like asking me if I’d tried logging in while offline. The answer is no.

The steam deck that runs steam? The steam that essentially requires an Internet connection at all times to work properly?
It does not require internet at all times. Just shows you don’t own one or know what you’re talking about ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
I’ve taken it on many flights with no Internet and played my games at 30,000ft

Tried handing it to a family member that then wants to switch to their profile?
