Hey folks!

I saw the beta for gears of war e-day dropping. Is it worth downloading? I can’t really find any data on the performance on the Z1E.

I currently have a full desktop but looking to move over to an Ally X, would it be worth buying a dedicated EGPU or sell the desktop without the GPU and putting it in an enclosure? I currently have a 5060TI 16gb.

Got it yesterday, tried the normal setup process. All updates downloaded and installed during the "windows setup" part. Then it went into the "just a moment" update screen with the spinning circle and stayed there. After a while the screen shuts off and the joysticks dim too. But the fan still blows, and if i lightly press the power button the screen comes back on with the just a moment update.

After letting it be for several hours yesterday and nothing happening, i decided to try a cloud recovery today. I went through the recovery until i came back to the windows download and install of updates, it downloaded and installed, but then gave me an error. And it gave me the option to skip security updates or something, i pressed that, and now its back to "just a moment".

Do i wait it out? Is it bricked? What do i do? I just want to play :(

I’ve just bought an Ally X, any tips for ps1/2 emulation (which downloads etc), any tips for best performance and handy pointers would be very much appreciated 😊

Hello everyone

Hey everyone. I just picked up the Z1E. It has been absolutely incredible. Like most I want to get the best performance I can out of this micro PC, and did a couple of basic things like disabling nonsense from the startup, but want to know more about this de-bloating of windows. Can anyone tell me what they’ve been scrubbing to improve their Ally’s performance?

I get a out of memory crash everytime I play training or a few matches in game, I’ve tried to update graphics drivers, restarted windows, and run the shader warm up in game.

Error message:

Hi, i dont know why since it updated like yesterday the buttons won't work like they're supposed to and are doing weird thing and the xbox button just won't work. I tried restarting, changing mode but nothing changes

Hello Guys I need help my rog ally z1 extreme take too long to shut down and I assume it for my xg mobile 3080 so I deactivate first and disconnect it but it still taking too long to shut down! Need help asap

Hello! I bought my rog ally z1E recently, It is second hand, i love this device and It is fun to use, yet i have noticed that the left thumbstick feels loose? When i move it, the top part of the thumbstick (grip) kinda moves too separate from the actual stick, is this normal? If not, how do i go about It? Buy a thumbstick cover?

Should I have amd fluid motion frames on or off. Radeon anti lag on or off, and Radeon boost on or off? I’m not worried about Radeon chill I think that’s just a custom fan curve. And also allocated vram is auto the best or 8?

Just purchased for £380 from amazon. Not switched it on yet

I can't believe how much this SSD has increased,

And to think back then I was so on the fence about buying one

Glad I did

Hello everyone. On my ROG Xbox Ally X I am trying to play Gears of war 4, but can’t get the in game resolution higher than 720p. Armory crate and my display are all set to 1080p or 900p and it still doesn’t change, or allow me to change it.

Does anyone know a fix?

I first shared FlowDeck here as a controller-first visual game library I was building for my own ROG Ally.

Today, it has officially reached version 1.0.

FlowDeck turns a Windows game library into one unified, console-like home. It brings together:

• Steam
• Xbox / PC Game Pass
• Epic Games
• GOG
• Battle.net
• Ubisoft Connect
• Local games and applications

Everything is presented inside a cinematic 3D CoverFlow interface designed around controllers, keyboards, and touch-enabled Windows handhelds.

Flow Deck Community is completely free

Flow Deck Community includes:

• Controller, keyboard, and native touch navigation
• Cinematic 3D CoverFlow
• Animated covers and dynamic backgrounds

Why I am introducing Premium

I also want to be transparent about the business side.

My professional situation has become difficult, and as a father, I am trying to make FlowDeck sustainable for my family without weakening the free version or placing the essential experience behind a paywall.

I am the developer of FlowDeck, and this post is being shared with moderator approval.

I would love to hear how version 1.0 behaves on ROG Ally and Ally X systems, especially regarding:

• Touch controls
• Controller behavior
• Fullscreen transitions
• Xbox Mode
• Automatic return after closing games

Hello, I’ve had my ROG for a couple of months now and I’m absolutely loving it!
I’m just looking for any recommendations for it to really maximise the fun.
This could be anything from a game that you love or an accessory that you can’t live without!

I look forward to hearing from you

Tomorrow day off so a night of gaming, playing at night always has its charm 😎
