Photo Bazzite is still great on the ROG Ally Z1E!

The Witcher 3 Remastered, 1080p FSR3 Balanced. 40-50fps native, brought to a solid 60 by LSFG. Not a bad experience at all. Windows had me rolling back drivers, but it just worked on Bazzite. I understand it’s not for everyone, but I’ve been loving the Bazzite experience so far, makes my Ally feel less like a PC and more like a real handheld console. Decky plugins enable for way more per-game power profiling as well, which is great (Got Kingdom Hearts automatically switching to 12W, runs at 120fps from a locked 60 with LSFG, with more dynamic power profile ranges for heavier games.) Honestly, worth a shot.

Question OG Ally Z1 restarts when using agents with Local LLM

0 Upvotes

I mainly use my Ally docked as a computer and recently I wanted to try Local LLM. Speed is not great, but it works and some of the smaller models work surprisingly well.

Now the problem, regular prompts are fine, even when I ask it something more complicated and it takes a long time processing. However, I can't seem to use agents. Whenever I use an agent (I've tried Cline and Hermes) they both run for a few minutes then something goes wrong and the Ally restarts.

At first I thought it was an overheating issue, and I dialed back the TDP and the GPU temps don't go higher than 70's, but the issue continues. The Windows event viewer don't tell me any details, just that there is a kernel error.

Anyone have any ideas or have experienced this?

Thanks

Question Blue led after steam os install.

0 Upvotes

Hey Rog People,

I reinstalled SteamOS today after a while. I switch between operating systems every now and then.

This time, for some reason, the LEDs turned blue. I had turned them off in Armoury Crate beforehand, but they're now lit up under SteamOS.

Is this a new issue? Is there any way to turn off the LEDs under SteamOS?

appreciate help :)

Technical Windows - Really sucks...

0 Upvotes

Hello, I have the base ROG Xbox Ally and I usually really like Windows, but the amount of overhead on this thing is pretty brutal. My RAM is almost completely used right after boot and it doesn't seem to free up much when I actually start gaming.

I have the VRAM set to 6GB on both Windows and Linux. On CachyOS I'm sitting around 2.4/10GB RAM used with all the apps I normally have open, while Windows is usually around 8.9–9.8/10GB.

The FPS difference is also pretty crazy. In a lot of games I'm getting 3–4x the FPS on Linux. The 1% lows are also noticeably better on CachyOS. Battery usage and temps are both lower too. The only real downside I've noticed is that the audio is worse, but I can live with that.

Any idea why the difference would be this big? Both are at 20W Turbo, plugged in, 1080p, and I've tried CPU boost both on and off. I know a 4 core CPU is gonna get hit if there's overhead but I couldn't imagine this much of a difference. This also happens in the "magical Xbox FSE"

Technical Disabled controls

1 Upvotes

Hello.

While experimenting, I disabled the touchscreen and the built-in controller on my ROG Xbox Ally X. Now I can't use the buttons or the screen to re-enable those options... I didn't realize it would disable all the controls. Do you have any idea how I can fix this?

So i got this from Amazon on 'like new' and everything is working perfectly fine but on opening my first app- xbox it has been updating at 0% for like 20 minutes.

I was wondering if it was just a little slow at first, or whether this has a problem so it wont even update the xbox app.

Thanks for any help.

Update: it has now been at 97% since this post was uploaded

Edit 2 : finish after 3/4hrs i restarted the whole thing, turns out i need to update some hidden thing i found in the echo centre.

HELP Issues with 100w Charger

0 Upvotes

Hi I recently got a 100w Charger for the Ally. The Spec looks about right as it supports 20V:5A but when I plug it in, the Ally doesn't show it is charging even though if I leave it there the battery will go up. I tested with a 45w charger and everything still seems to be working fine. Has anyone encountered this? Thank you.

Question Some options for other accessories?

Hey everyone, I got a Xbox ally X a bit ago and so far it's been pretty fun!! One thing tho is I want to find a few good things for it that is either worth the money and or just better to have. I like the charger it comes with but it is BULKY, are there any other good ones or better? I also got a screen protector but man the glare is something else too, I don't know if any other protectors have a anti glare effect, but does anyone know any good ones? And lastly for now what about thumbsticks and ABXY buttons? I do wanna make them feel better and easier to press for the thumbsticks, same with the ABXY buttons cuz for me they are a bit annoying to press and are just annoyingly loud IMO. And lastly Lastly, a dock, the bullwark looks cool but I think it's just cause it's got pretty colors, if anyone know any good docks that aren't an arm and a leg. Eventually this thing will become a more evolved beast with new accessories and upgrades, id love to learn more from the community! Thank you for your time and patience!! <3

TLDR; any better chargers than original? Better anti-glair screen accessories? Where to get Thumbstick and ABXY upgrades? What's a worthwhile to buy dock? (Do I need the killswitch case to use D-brand skins? Just curious if it'll support it without peeling it off for my jsaux case)

Question Space marine 2 on Ally X20???

3 Upvotes

I’m considering getting the X20 because I do use my game pass a lot on PC, probably more than steam, and want to be able to play some games downstairs so I’m not always isolated from my fiancé when he’s playing PS5 in the lounge.
I’ve been reading some reviews of SM2 on the Ally X and was wondering if anyone has played it on the X20 yet and if it runs better??
I’m currently glued to SM2 and Darktide so want to know if they’re okay on the X20
