r/ROGAlly

Price is cheaper than market rate. As a first time gaming PC buyer, trying to make a checklist of things I should check before buying. Would anybody have recommendations?

my xbox ally x started doing this around 3 weeks ago and i still have been able to fix it, ive done anything and everything. i did a clean uninstall of armoury crate and reinstalled it, i did a full reset on the console TWO times, i went to services in windows and restarted the services for armoury crate controller interface and armoury crate SE, ive tried to see if i could roll back the driver but that is greyed out, ive tried remapping the buttons to their old respective mapping and it didnt work, ive tried literally everything i can think of and it just isnt working. the called support 3 times and they couldnt help me other than recommending i send it in for repairs, the thing is though i think its a firmware prblem not a hardware problem. Aanyways does anyone have any updates on how to fix it :(((((((

Full screen experience is jank af

Controller inputs lag and then do 5 things at once, trying to switch to regular windows and the full screen keeps popping back up, text fields won’t bring up keyboard, ffs, I just want to use regular windows and armoury crate

hello everyone, i have got my rog xbox ally X recently and im loving it. i love the form factor though the screen cfould be bigger.

i would like to hear your experiences and feedbacks playing mmorpgs on this handheld, so far i have only tried WoW with consoleport and my feedback was quite negative. i was struggling to do anything and the character felt very small.

I'm curious what mmorpgs have native button support or not difficult to keybind and that are possible to play decently on such small screen.

im thinking that 2D might make more sense like maplestory or DFO, though DFO i struggled to keybind as well.

I'll appreciate any information, thank u :)

The only reason I’m hesitant is because I sometimes like to sail the 7 seas and I am unsure if that would make it considerably harder.

Alongside having g multiple steam accounts with various games on each.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask

Hey all,

I've bought the ROG ALLY X relatively recently and I'm a big Tekken 8 player, and something I've always wanted to do was to play Tekken on the fly and the Ally could make that come true for me.

Without doing these steps I was experiencing a lot of hitches and microstutters mid-fight, and I couldn't see many guides on how to make tekken 8 run better on the Ally X so I thought I'd make a quick guide here to make the game run better for everyone, and make it Quick Play and Ranked Play viable.

1. In-game Settings: Turn everything graphically on Low except from Textures, the game only uses around 4.2gb of VRAM for me, so tune your system VRAM settings accordingly. You can set your display resolution set to 1080p for crisp menu visuals and clarity.

(IMPORTANT) Also, set your Upscaling to TSR 55%. The game will still look amazing toned down this low, especially on a small 1080p display. With native 1080p 100% upscaling there's always going to be a stutter, so reducing this down a lot helps your GPU and CPU a LOT.

2. Wattage Settings: For when I'm on handheld - I've found that 19W (19W/23W/27W) works perfectly for me, maintaining a constant 60 on the go, with around 2hrs 10m of playtime on average (full charge). For when I'm plugged in I just use the Turbo preset.

3. Engine.ini settings: This is the part where you'll need to access your ingame files. Follow the steps below:

- Right click on the Windows icon bottom left and click on the option 'Run'

- Type in 'AppData' in the search box and click OK

- Go into Local/TEKKEN 8/Saved/Config/Windows - then find the file called 'Engine'

- Access the file using Notepad or any other app of your choice, and copy and paste the following below the other commands existing in the file:

[SystemSettings]

r.SSR.Quality=0
fx.Niagara.QualityLevel=0
r.RefractionQuality=0
r.SeparateTranslucency=0
r.TranslucencyVolumeBlur=0
r.RenderTargetPoolMin=600
r.Streaming.PoolSize=1500
r.CreateShadersOnLoad=1
r.ShaderPipelineCache.Enabled=1 r.ShaderPipelineCache.Precompile=1 r.ShaderPipelineCache.StartupMode=3
r.VSync=0

r.LightShaftQuality=0
r.ParticleLODBias=1
t.MaxFPS=60
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.CameraShadeDebug=0
fx.NiagaraAllowAsyncWork=1
fx.NiagaraAllowTickBeforeRender=1
r.Niagara.AsyncCompute=0
r.DynamicRes.OperationMode=0
r.FastBlurThreshold=0
r.DeferredLightQuality=1
r.LightMaxDrawDistanceScale=0.7
r.GTSyncType=1
r.VolumetricFog=0
r.TranslucencyLightingVolumeDim=24
r.SceneColorFormat=3
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.Quality=2
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0.4
r.EyeAdaptationQuality=1
r.MotionBlurQuality=1
r.MotionBlur.Amount=0.20
r.MotionBlurSeparable=1

(ignore the motion blur commands if you don't like motion blur - I'm weird like that)

4. Armoury Crate Settings: I would recommend turning on the sharpening (RIS) for the game profile for tekken 8, as I feel like it clears up the image alot, so the image looks less smudged.

And that's about it - with these changes, your game should be looking and feeling crisp, at a solid 60! (unless you have bad connection)

EDIT: This post is more aimed towards people who want a mix of good visuals and smooth gameplay, if you want the smoothest gameplay possible, with no regard for looks, I'd advise you download the Great, Another Potato Mod instead, as the stages will be visually at its bare minimum and will look pretty poor, but Tekken will be at its most smoothest.

With my changes - the game will still maintain its vanilla look and feel, just more optimized and performance friendly.

Went on holiday with the Ally X to tunisia (I am from the UK) and it worked completely fine on the plane. I got to the hotel and put it on charge the 2nd day. It wasn't dead but it was on like 10%. The light was definitely on when I put it on charge to begin with. When I went back into the room a fair few hours later and I unplugged it, closed the case and put it in my bag. On the final full day I had an hour of down time so I wanted to use it. It wouldn't turn on at all. I assumed might have been dead but I plugged it into the wall and into my portable charger which output power draw and stuff and nothing. So it's not turning on, no lights are turning on and it's not drawing power. Spoke to AI and it said I will need to replace the device but at £800 I don't fancy that. I tried random trouble shooting steps, holding power button for 40 seconds and what not but nothing has worked. This was a few days ago now and I am now back in the UK but still not doing anything. Any ideas?

Edit: My boss held it the volume up and power for like a minute and plugged it into a 90w charger and it fixed it.

I changed the battery on my ally, and after two days of using it, my ally kept shutting down unless it was plugged. I only realized what the issue was after watching the jsaux instruction video. I originally watched a bunch of YouTube videos and none of them said how important it was to put the sticker over the light sensor otherwise it would cause the ally to keep going into power safe mode.They didn't even put the sticker over theirs. Problem is fixed and thanks to those who responded to my first post about it because I really thought I screwed something up.

I have been playing Absolum on my ROG ally for a while and had about 9 hours of progress. I wanted to play the game on my PC, so I downloaded it there, opened it and at first it would not sync my data from my ROG, it opened the game with no save data. I then opened the game on my ROG and got my data to sync to the cloud. I then re-opened the game on my PC and it asked me which cloud save I would like to use, one from last night or the one from just a moment ago. I chose the most recent one, because I assumed that was from when I had just opened the game from my ROG, but it literally wiped all my data. I opened the game on my ROG and all my progress is gone. Is there anyway to get my progress back?

Hi all, I’m trying to play red dead redemption 2 but when I search the Xbox store on my Xbox ally x it’s not there

Shows on the mobile app and is on sale but not on my XAX any ideas ?

It’s on steam but I’m looking to get it through the Xbox store

Has anyone experienced an issue where connecting a pair of Bluetooth headphones during a game doesn’t work? I have to restart the game to get the sound to work through my headphones.

I just got my rog ally last week I started playing some games like dying light and call of duty both games require me to use the left stick to move and sprint alot but I notice an issue I once had a year ago when I had a legion go 1 which was the left stick felt very inconsistent and the left stick itself feels fine but the movement in the game feels bad and stiff it’s hard to explain.. but basically the way I fixed it on my legion go was to go legion space and mess with some control settings I think I changed some dead zone settings and boom it fixed it and movement felt great in my games again.. the question is how can I fix it on my rog ally im pretty sure the left stick itself is fine maybe it’s a dead zone issue how do I adjust dead zone ?
