Today, I'm happy to share some updates about the Legion Go, including an update regarding SD card fixes, 3D printing, and performance for Palworld that was released today.
There are still ongoing issues with the SD card readers, specifically stuttering problems. Although Lenovo are still grappling with these challenges, there are a couple of helpful links which might help some below:
It's been observed that UHS-1 cards seem to perform worse than UHS-2 cards. This could be attributed to the speed and stability differences, although it's important to note that UHS-2 cards come with a higher price tag.
Controller Calibration and Firmware Update
There's also an update regarding controller calibration issues. The recent firmware update, specifically for controllers, may have resolved these problems and has a new process for calibration, which is as follows:
Press LT and LS (or RT/RS) simultaneously until the joystick light turns to a blue swirl indicating the Joystick is ready for calibration being careful not to press any other buttons.
Move the joystick out to the farthest position possible and rotate in a circle 2-3 revolutions
Let the joystick return to it's resting position
Tap the LT (or RT) button twice to signal completion.
Controller will then enter Gyro calibration mode
Joystick RGB ring will flash red while the controller is moving, flash green while still
Keep the controller still to end calibration (solid green light)
You'll feel (if enabled in settings) two vibration pulses from the controller once complete. If you have disabled controller vibration the light will just go back to whatever your original RGB settings were.
For those interested in 3D printing, Lenovo are working on releasing official Legion Go 3D printing files. While they are committed to making these available soon, you can currently test out the 3D print for the controller holders here.
Unfortunately, there are no further updates regarding other aspects of the Legion Go. However, within the next 1 to 2 weeks, we're expecting the Legion Space update for 1.0.26.
This update is anticipated to address TDP issues and introduce controller dead zone mappings for the triggers, along with the new BIOS version 29 and other features such as the custom fan curves.
Now, let's talk about Palworld. This game was released today and it runs phenomenally on the Legion Go at 1200p, achieving 30-40 frames per second for the most part with the custom TDP to 30W, but it did drop back down to 25W. With the forthcoming updates, we hope to see improvements to prevent the Custom TDP dropping back down. The game settings were a mix of medium and low, with view distance set on low, V-sync and motion blur off, and everything else on medium. The game is incredibly addictive, so consider yourself warned!
We've also set up our own dedicated server for Palworld. If you're interested in joining fellow handheld gamers, check out our Palworld channel in our Discord.
