justclaws Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 That's great, thanks! Yeah, we should gather a few of these together for this thread! I've played all my Steam games on the VCS, no problem, so I'm happy, but of course, I do look at the specs first! The first was Tempest 4000, which I had not been able to play before, as it was ridiculously slow on my old laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djmicklovin Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Call of Duty Warzone runs fine on the VCS. Most steam games will run good as long as you lower the graphics settings. Anybody got a game to run on the VCS you weren’t expecting to run and were surprised? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevincondrick@gmail.com Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 I think GTA V runs fine on a lower setting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SizzleAtari Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 How do you lower the settings? I tried to play Predator Hunting Ground and the game would not even load?? Had to get a refund. I bought it from Epic I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't think you can change the settings unless the game actually loads but you can always upgrade the VCS ram that might help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to download the AMD Radeon software and update the drivers and your games should then boot up and run smooth like butter. I also would recommend upgrading the RAM that helps too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SizzleAtari Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Did you upgrade the Ram to play Warzone? No way in hell mine would play that. It barely plays the Resident Evil remake. I've updated AMD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It barely plays the Resident Evil remake. I've updated AMD. Yeah I maxed out the RAM, I also overclocked the RAM and CPU as well as allocated more RAM for video from 2gb to 8gb in the bios. Warzone runs at around 30fps for me. Edited August 3, 2021 by Djmicklovin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealGIJoe Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I have 32 Gigs of RAM in mine and it plays my Steam games pretty well. Also, runs dolphin well. Pretty happy with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougee Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I just upgraded to 16gb RAM @3400 (4gb allocated to graphics) and 2TB M.2 SATA running Windows 11. I used a program called AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro (paid app) to copy a Windows partition from USB to the M.2. I applied new thermal paste Noctua NT-H2. Games played so far: Halo REACH (720p), Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare (not sure resolution), Centipede Recharged. All played and looked great on my LG OLED. Been wanting some couch keyboard / mouse gameplay (I sit at the coffee table on a yoga bolster) and this certainly scratches the itch. Cant wait to try more games and I’d like post some captures online to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOut Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I have been using my "windows on a stick" drive to play Steam games for a while now (thanks for the video @Mockduck). I have been very satisfied, and found I can get the great majority of games running, provided that I take some of the steps mentioned above (tone down performance settings and upgraded ram). I am pretty deep into the Mechwarrior 5 campaign, and I'm very happy with how the VCS handles it. Along with playing the Atari OS games, this has been the bulk of my gaming lately.

It's easy to do, just a check box.

It might go away when they fix their cert or update your client. Also make sure you have the latest version of Steam (it usually auto updates for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadiATIon Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 My solution to run games from steam, epic games, gog, Ubisoft Connect ... is to connect all these accounts to my Geforce Now account. Thus, I can play almost all the "greedy" games of all these digital game platforms in streaming. Ok, I actually have to pay 9.99 € / month to Nvidia but I get a modern gaming experience with 60 fps, RTX On, and 1080P resolution. If you pay 19.99 € / month you get 4k resolution, 120 fps, with graphics from Geforce RTX 3080 / 4080. So, for my part, I agree to pay this subscription because I buy the games on the different platforms by buying product codes on other platforms that save me money. Let me explain. For example, I acquired Modern Warfare II via eneba.com for €53.13 instead of €69.99 on Steam! That's 17€ savings, nearly 2 months of Geforce Now subscription It's cheaper than on Xbox Series X (79.99€)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SvenSvenson Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I’ve only just got my VCs (last night after 2 hours of messing with BIOS and OS updates) - would you recommend a Windows or Linux build on an external SSD for steam games?
