Thank you for watching! I wanted to give a quick update since the recording of this video! I was able to fix about 90% of the resolution/performance issues noticed in this video with the help of a reddit post showing how to manually update the AMD drivers to an older update. This has resolved MANY performance-related issues for most Legion GO users.
Even though my issues have been resolved for the time being, I am still shocked that Lenovo released a product like this into the wild with drivers this terrible and expect their consumer to do all the work to fix them. Hopefully in due time these kinks will be ironed out on their own so even brand new customers of the Legion GO can have a good experience right out of the box!
For trackpad, go to windows settings, bluetooth and devices, mouse, mouse pointer speed, should help (I don't have a Go, yet, but on Windows that's usually how you can control mouse speed outside of the manufacture options). For the external controller have you tried DS4Windows? Usually Xbox controllers work better out of the box than PS5 and for some games I have to use DS4Windows to make it work (yes, despite the names it also works with the PS5 controllers).
I really like the versatility of this device. It's a home/handheld console, tablet, laptop/portable workstation.
I know it doesn't have specific pen supported hardware like ntrig or wacom, but im wondering if any of those universal stylus pens work or work well on this screen. It would be great to use this to jot down notes in class or as a sketchpad on my freetime.
Its the portrait mode screen thatโs causing all of those resolution issues sadly. Ally doesnโt have any of those issues with most games because itโs native a landscape screen.
With the controller issues, thatโs caused by windows 11, legion space and drivers, try using rewasd to fix it.
Somehow steamdeck itself works better with windows than legion go at the moment
What happened to your updated review? I refreshed the video and it says unavailable now. I was right in the middle of the video lol
This seems soooo much more convoluted than Steam Decks straight out of the box operation.
Turn off motion blur for higher frame rates
So I have noticed quite a few games automatically set a game to "windowed full screen" your issue where the game is smaller than your screen lies with the issue that the legion software is set to 1080p and the game resolution is set to 720p….. 720p is a smaller resolution….. In the GAME SETTINGS menu…. Change the game resolution to 19??x1080…. And set the screen to FULL SCREEN, NOT windowed full screen….. I hope this helps…. Let me know
You can increase the mouse speed, go to windows, in the start menu search control panel, look for mouse options and increase the mouse pointer speed…
can you do a tutorial on how to install linux on it?
Im still waiting for mine but some of the issues can be fixed quite easily , for the games not starting in the right resolution or covering just 3/4 of the screen, enable the virtual keyboard in windows and hit Alt+enter it should maximize it and for using a controller just get the joytokey/DS4W program , works amazing for using ps5/xb1 controllers via bluetooth and remapping whatever you want).
Just a two cents!
You're definitely getting a sub from me!
The software experience is a wreck fest!
My understanding as you why these games keep crashing or won't fill the whole screen is because of the screen itself. The screen, if you noticed, when you 1st turned it on, was in portrait. This is a portrait screen and not a landscape screen. I think downloading direct x will help with this issue.
"…and I still can't pause it" ๐
I guess disabling the touchpad might be useful in FPS mode ๐ค Or does it turn off automatically?
I wish the dead zones were better on the joysticks (future update?)
I wish the d-pad wasn't so shallow and had more travel
I wish the start/select buttons were in the normal position
I wish the trackpad was clickable (you have to lift and re-tap to confirm inputs)
I wish the screen was horizontal for better compatibility (they have the means)
I wish there was VRR to save on battery life (important for a handheld, even one this big)
I wish the software wasn't so half-baked (it's not a cheap device)
That's too many wishes for me. Lenovo should have done better
I hope it does well so they release a Legion Go 2 ๐. That's when I'll bite. Still happy with my Deck. Only something excellent in all regards will make me upgrade tbh.
It's not a "killer" if the alternative costs twice as much
I actually like that it doesnโt automatically go to Legion Space like Armory Crate does with ROG Ally.
if i am playing in tabletop ill just use a monitor lol not my cup of tea.
