So weird, because it runs like ass on SD too.
I can see why some would consider it playable but it was unplayable for me, sub 60fps and the graphics had to be so low the textures looked terrible. Or I had to enable frame gen which also makes it look like shit.
I think it depends more on the person than the tech. I've only had AAA games on my Deck for demoing to others. I'm too spoiled by my desktop to actually enjoy playing them that way.
Works fine for me. They even released an optimized build for steam deck
Really tried to give it a go on my deck but it was unplayable for me.
artyom@piefed.social too (is this how you tag people on lemmy? - no it's not, help lol)
Are your SSD's nearly full by any chance? Could that be messing your performance up?
Just curious, what kind of hardware are you used to gaming on?
Not even close. I understand that some people find it playable; I said for me. It's a desktop only title. I didn't like the controls on deck either.
