Key Points:
- Nvidia has come out with a script/wizard that simplifies the installation of GeForce Now on Valve’s Steam Deck.
- The script runs two tasks, the first is to install the Google Chrome browser into the system, the second is to configure gamepad compatibility in the browser, and the last step is to add the GeForce Now shortcut to the Steam library.
- Human tabulation is generally still being done, thus it may require a lot of manual operations such as changing the sensitivity of the controller and the use of the trackpad for game settings and menu navigation.
Based on an initiative designed to make it possible to superimpose your cloud games on Valve’s latest handheld unit, Nvidia has unveiled a script that acts as a de facto simplification agent for the onboarding of GeForce Now on Steam. Doubles in size.
This particular script is created in such a way that it performs some key actions but at the same time, saves users from excessive manual input. It automatically installs Google Chrome, detects and instantly appropriates browser settings so you can use your gamepad without any hassle, and also offers a GeForce Now icon that links you directly to the Steam library.
However the script writes code with top efficiency, and for this reason, users will not be able to use the automatic settings to configure GeForce Now. Displaying the service’s controller settings via the Steam menu button after installing the service is a significant undertaking.
Now, by changing the current state of the button in the tray menu from “Gamepad with mouse and touchpad” to “Gamepad with mouse trackpad” one can better control the trackpad while working within GeForce Now.
Interesting Interface The act of streaming to Nvidia’s Steam Deck becomes as simple as long pressing that menu button. However, make sure you don’t choose a game that requires the console to actively control the game inside the in-game UI. For example, games like Genshin Impact may demand you to use the trackpad more.
However, for those using Edge of SteamOS, Nvidia has provided manual instructions that can be used as a guide for both Chrome and Edge to try out. As the excitement of cloud gaming continues to grow, the community is now happily biting their nails trying to figure out whether Microsoft’s next move will be to come for Xbox cloud gaming and Steam Deck scripts for simplified installation. Have to use.
