Steam Deck

How's the performance on steam deck?

[Pizzanami]

We don't have a steam deck to test, so no idea, sorry !

Can confirm the game runs on Steam deck.
That being said, its a little buggy and slow at times.
Game mode runs more smoothly and has more control mapping options than in desktop mode, but both do work.
I have yet to get any mods using Bepinex working, as it requires more manual setup, and I'm not as familiar with Linux as I once was.

Thanks man, hope to test it next week when my deck arrives. Didn't even know there was mod support in this game.

Ok it is running great, but I still can't figure out which button dodge/parry is

They need to change the unsupported icon then

The game seems to be very GPU dependent, as it maxes out GPU usage while CPU usage is very minimal.

Same thing on the Steam Deck, really. No matter what graphics options you use, the game causes the Steam Deck's APU fan to go crazy.

I'm using the default, 8.0-5 currently. It seems like the update has improved the framerate, but I can't be 100% sure until I get to later sections (I lost my save when uninstalling).

I randomly got Proton Experimental working, no idea how, just out of the blue.
Can't run a new save, i get that TV bars screen because of the cutscene. Seen this reported as an issue with older protons but the fix someone suggested doesn't work.
As for framerate in tales and local multiplayer maps, it varies depending on the map, the two tales maps i tried were almost unplayable, yet the new multiplayer maps ran great.

I'm using Proton Experimental. The frames are more stable in the areas I've been in so far. I can't say much about the Borealis Sea and beyond because I've been experiencing what is likely to be a memory issue since last year. I'm new with this kind of stuff, so I'm still figuring it out. The playground sounds interesting, but I'll likely have to wait for an update. Player one is player two right now.

yeah im back on windows lol from my experience, after getting Proton Experimental running with the -dx11 flag set, it ran very badly overall on my system, which is a PC with a gtx 1080.
for reference, on windows, i can max the game out including the new shaders and manage 75 FPS on pretty much every map.

I've reached the two big points where the framerate died for me, and they're completely fine now.

First is the Turret in the Swamp, and the second is the mech past the Frorc Monks. In both cases, continued usage of the weapons resulted in the game falling to single digits and I was forced to exit them to return to a normal framerate.

Now I'm getting a consistent framerate on both. I'm limiting my system due to my charger breaking, so I'm getting lower performance than normal, but the first section was around 20-25 and the second is a constant 30. Without being limited, I made it to 60 a few times at the start of the game, but I'd recommend capping FPS at 40 for a stable experience.

Is there anything Steam Deck+Onirism owners can do to help with that? Like sharing our first-hand experiences or submitting log files with metadata about how the game runs on Steam Deck? I volunteer if there is anything could help.

Outside the devs or the publisher applying for a Steam Deck dev kit, they buy or get gifted their own Steam Deck retail model, or they figure out how to configure their PC development tools to emulate the Steam Deck specs, I think any specific Steam Deck requests may have to wait for the optimization part of the dev process.

If they still don't have anything by that point, they can only try to optimize for the low spec part of the players and hope Steam Deck players get the boosts and crash fixes too from optimizing the game for low-end hardware.

I hope they can get one, since it’s a popular device and part of the Steam ecosystem. Luckily I have a desktop so it’s not a huge deal, but it would be nice if they could support it. I haven’t installed it on my Steam Deck yet because one person posted that the game crashes on Steam Deck (possibly from a memory leak based oh how they described it).
