The new engine is finally out for PC, nice. That means better performance in endgame maps.

I symlinked the game folders from a NTFS drive to steamapps/common/ on my ext4 drive, and it works fine. Of course the compatdata and shader caches are on the ext4 drive.

If iFixit starts selling steamdeck motherboards, can you buy just a motherboard and make a console-only version? Same motherboard, just no screen, battery, buttons. in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

You can do that, but be aware, upscaling with FSR takes a performance hit. It's not a big one but can make the difference between stable and unstable 30FPS.

I got the 64GB and swapped the SSD for a bigger one. It was painless and now I have 1TB of internal memory for less than the price of the 256GB model.
