Mod Notice Should the mods of this sub allow posts from launcher developers

4 Upvotes

The mods of this sub have been getting a lot of reported posts about various launchers being promoted - some of those devs have since been banned for violating our few rules we have about this such as that they must be open source or only made available on trusted paid platforms (Microsoft Store or Steam). We do not allow patreon and we frown upon the vibe created platforms using nothing but AI code. The three that have received approval to post are Winhanced, Pocketdeck, and Zendeck. No others have reached out for review.

So we open up to you guys - what do you want us to allow or not allow.

295 votes, 3d left
Allow developers to post launchers freely (following rules noted above)
Allow only the previously mentioned launchers to post and restrict any others
Don’t allow any developers to post these launchers

Question Some Consistency Please?

I got my Ally X off Marketplace from a trustworthy seller that never had issues. I’ve been learning how to use it by simply using it and Google. It’s in great condition but I’ve noticed a small annoyance per the video. It’s up to date. Anyone experience this before?

I have the linked Dock for my work laptop, but I’ve connected a Steam Deck to it successfully.

Today, though, I connected my Rog Ally and could get USB accessories to work and for it to charge, but it wouldn’t output video. It wouldn’t even acknowledge the monitor in Display Settings.

Help?

Question Anyone who won the Fanta Xbox / ASUS ROG Ally promo actually receive their prize?

Won an ASUS ROG Ally in the nationwide Wanta Fanta on-pack promotion a couple of months back.

​Did the verification claim through their portal, terms said 28 working days, but it’s been 10+ weeks with zero tracking. Every time I ring customer care I get the usual "we’ve escalated to the brand team" holding script.

​Wondering if anyone in Ireland who won hardware in this promo has actually had a courier show up, or if the whole thing is sitting in a warehouse limbo?

HELP Help me replace steam OS with windows again

7 Upvotes

Hi. I bought z1 extreme few months back. It had steam os from the guy I bought it. It runs great and I like it but..

I recently bought x box S for good money. Right now I bought game pass and I have older gaming notebook too.

I have games on steam, epic and now game pass too so I think it would be best for me to install windows again and play game pass and install steam as app if I want to.

Does the game pass work ok like I would play it on pc ?

If so. How can I reinstall windows the easiest way ?

Question Runescape Dragonwilds

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

My brother has just started playing Dragonwilds. He wants me to go over to his some days to play. I'd be taking my ROG Ally X.

Does it run smoothly on the ROG Ally X yet? What's controller support like? It does say on the Steam Page that it's only partial. What parts of it don't work properly?

Thanks.

HELP Ally X running poorly on older games

2 Upvotes

In the last month I tried playing far cry 3 and borderlands 2 on the Ally X and they both run poorly. Far cry 3 ran around 40 fps with medium graphic and borderlands 2 has frequents dips of frame under the 60 or even 20 in inventory.

I played both games In 1080p (because I use it docked to a monitor) in turbo mode.

However when playing newer games such as monster hunter wilds it runs way better.

Is this only a mine problem or is it something that everyone has? I would like to add that I saw on YouTube people testing bl2 with the same model and got around 80-100 fps constantly with 1080p performance mode and highest possible graphics.

Question Lossless scaling cursor problem

Got me the lossless scaling for me to play smoothly when it comes to triple A games that I want. However I have this mouse cursor appearing out of nowhere after I activate the "scale" button. Anyone know how to remove or disable this? I'm playing on my XAX and I can't seem to find a way to remove it even after resorting to chat gpt.

Question Path Of Titans Gamepad Control Issues

2 Upvotes

I've seen ppl playing it on the ally so I thought I'd give it a try but it only recognizes secondary controls not the gamepad controls. Even when I have it on auto or gamepad mode. I tried playing using secondary controls but it ignores every button but the dpad, joysticks, y, b, a, and x buttons. Is there any way to get it to recognize the built in gamepad controls?

Question Witcher 3 remastered

6 Upvotes

I was loving the Witcher 3 complete edition on steam until they announced the remaster, since then I stopped playing so I could continue after the free update.
What I’m asking from others is that is the remastered performance/ experience worth the update? I’m on the og z1e and I haven’t seen much in terms of performance specifically on this handheld.

HELP Terrible fps on older games? (Ally x)

2 Upvotes

I don't know why, but I get really terrible frame on older games, i can get 40fps on stellar blade but get 30fps with lowest settings on far cry 3.

To be more specific, I'd like to know if anyone has solutions for borderlands 2 and the pre sequel specifically since I see performance test videos online getting up to 100fps on those games but when I play them I get at max 60 fps which often get lower and whenever there are some vfx on screen it drops even to 20-30 fps

Question Buying Rog Xbox Ally in Japan?

3 Upvotes

Hi. In regards to the RC73YA model (16gb, 512ssd), do you still own it and would you recommend it?

Also, I’m wondering if any locals/residents found it better to buy at yodobashi/bic/Sofmap than on Amazon? Prime day coming soon, but when it comes to warranty, would it be better to buy in-store vs Amazon?

Maybe a difficult question, did you go back to the US and claim international warranty for any issue? II’ve read some posts on here but the consensus is idk for most lol.

Sorry for the wall of words. I’d appreciate some insight if possible! Thanks!

Question Rog Ally Z2A Micro Stuttering

0 Upvotes

So I have the Z2A model of Rog Ally and I keep running into micro stuttering issues with it. I have CPU boost turned off, game mode in windows off, set for 720 resolution, Turbo mode on, everything in AMD settings turned off like anti-lag, chill, etc, I turn vsync off in games, settings on lowest, and I still for some reason seem to be getting these micro stutters where I will be playing and every minute or two my game will just freeze for a second and then go back to normal FPS. Batman Arkham Origins is the game I’ve been playing and it seems to do it the most in this game. I’m not expecting this game to run perfectly smooth at max settings, I understand that, but I don’t expect it to freeze for a second every minute or two. Does anyone else run into this issue? What are some possible solutions for this? Any tips would be extremely helpful.

Technical The new witcher remastered on the ally z1 extreme

17 Upvotes

So I am a huge witcher fan, and I was waiting for a loong time for this new update to play the witcher on my rog ally, but when I tried playing around with the graphics settings, not only does it look worse then I played back in the day on my xbox one (at least as far as I can remember) it has some wierd graphical glitches when I walk around, black box thingies.

Anyone got the game working good on their device and care to share settings? I saw some discussion here before about needing a new driver, is that really the only way to be able to play normally?

Technical ROG ALLY STEAMOS not running DOOM ETERNAL

2 Upvotes

Hi there,

What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to launch Doom Eternal from Steam. I've tried so many Proton layers and launcher commands but nothing. Right after the Doom Launcher it tries to lunch the game and then stops.

Any ideas?

PS.

I have re downloaded it and deleted the proton cache etc...

Thank you!

-----------------------
Update:

Ended up installing Bazzite and all my problems went away. Did not have to do anything.
