Wait starfield works on SD? I thought it was too slow. Has there been a new patch?
Mods + cryoutilities has it running pretty dang good!
I actually went on vacation the day it released. I installed it on my deck to be able to play when at the hotel. I put 14 hours in starfield on my deck. It's PLAYABLE but not really ENJOYABLE. You have to turn it down to almost the lowest setting to play it reliably.
I played like 80 hours on steam deck. I don't think it's as optimized as Todd claims (RDR2 is much older and looks much better), but it plays alright.
No mods or anything, just settings tweaks.
I did not know you could play with a controller on PC. Is thist a steam customization for the deck ? (When I plug my xbox controller nothing happens in control settings or anywhere)
I honestly couldn't tell you how it works. Maybe check input settings in game? The game isn't verified on deck so I wouldn't think steam has done anything specific to make the controller work.
I found it playable but being completely honest, the graphic settings are the lowest and while it looks fine enough for things nearby… shooting at enemies more than a few meters away means aiming under their name. Due to dumb circumstances making my gaming pc unavailable, I’m currently playing it “on my Mac” through GeForce Now.
