Hmm, did you start fresh by removing the prior keys and pacman-keys --init again? (per Arch wiki)
I had likely only used -S for installing what I wanted which worked fine.
(Prior to that I had disabled sig requirements in pacman’s config, but don’t recommend doing that for obvious reasons.)
I had troubles too until I only did:
sudo pacman-key --populate
instead of --populate archlinux
Then things worked.
Some couch co-op games… Kingdom Two Crowns, an easy resource builder
Platform puzzlers:
Trine game series
Portal 2
It Takes Two
Really depends what ya’ll like to play.
I don’t recall having to change the setting as an HDMI screen/projector will have its resolution, but you do want to set whatever game to the resolution you want and if you are using FSR adjust that accordingly in game.
I use it mostly docked with a projector and it’s pretty seamless.
The reason I went with 'Deck is I’ve already invested in newer video card for PC, but its CPU is the bottleneck, meanwhile that’s maxed for the motherboard.
PC draws 10x the amount of power in use.
A $500 PC isn’t going to perform like a Deck, the value is exceptional.
Portability, battery backup, included display, are all included benefits.
Having used Gyro on another device in Spellbreak happily, I’d point out you can use the Deck as a controller docked with another monitor/projector, which is how I use it regularly. It obviously makes no sense to be tilting the screen and making it hard to see for shooting games. Using it for driving with just that one axis like a steering wheel works great though.
In a shooter, like Deep Rock Galactic, I have the joystick set to flick stick, use the pad for gross turning/viewing, and gyro for precision aiming.
Unlike the OP, I find it totally intuitive, it’s just like how we all move our arms/body/twist when we’re trying to track something naturally. As gamers we learn to suppress that movement and hold still while we just move our fingers, but this allows returning to natural subconscious movements so it’s less of a learning curve rather than learning the motor skills for mouse movement or suchlike.
That said, and not really addressed, tweak the settings to work for you! Hop into AimLabs or similar and adjust settings so you land on targets readily.
Yes, that’s what we do, mostly couch co-op daily. Cheaper than new system and get away from horrible Windows.
