I appreciate this. That said, I was playing a game on my Steamdeck last night when this popped up over the game, while the game was running. Subsequently I died in the game. Kinda shit.
That is shit, but also just a little funny.
Then again I love Dark Souls so this may just be the ptsd talking.
I got mine smack in the middle of a boss fight in Remnant 2 lol, but my build is stupidly tanky enough that I was able alt-tab close it fast enough to not even die. Felt a little proud of that.
Time to sue!
Same, during a boss fight in Elden Ring. I died.
You'd have died either way most likely. Git gud.
I had it pop up while I was in the middle of a raid boss in WoW, lol
Wow is on steam?
Steam was running in the background.
Most MMOs have a steam launcher, they tend to work better than the native launcher from my experience with them
I don't believe WoW is on Steam. It's likely that Steam was just open in the background and popped up over WoW.
Ahh, I didn't bother to check, I just know that I have MWO, STO, SWTOR, and could play EvE through steam. I figured blizzard would eventually jump on the bandwagon.
Ffxiv also, has both native and steam, which is useful for steamdeck even if you don't have it for steam. FFXIVLauncher does the login then uses the fully functional steam demo to play.
They might now they're owned by Microsoft. They've been adding games to Steam (perhaps only Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4? so far?).
Yeah, I'm all for the move, but don't be dicks about interrupting.
Still, right choice otherwise.
Is that what that was? I got a grey box with no text in it that popped up over Satisfactory and my mouse control went from the POV to moving a cursor. I was building and it was a brief interruption. I got the actual text via email.
It popped up on my secondary monitor and I wasn't using it, so I didn't see it all day
Same, popped up while in the middle of Satisfactory
Same here, playing Sins of a Solar Empire 2 with a buddy. We both got the popup.
Stellaris for me, at least in those games it's not instant death, lol.
I did however close the pop-up to go see what it was saying before agreeing to it.
Happened to me playing helldivers last night. Luckily I did not die.
