Steam Deck?

[Citizen Cook]

I’m thinking of buying the game as it’s on sale. How does it perform on Steam Deck and modern PC’s, what can i expect?

Just brought it today for the deck too

It took a few steps to get working for me

Had to launch it from desktop for the first time set up

Loading into the game took forever (could of been cause I used a SD card for the game.

Besides that the game run fine for me I'm playing tbogt and nothing went wrong yet

It runs fine first time from Game Mode (no need for desktop unless you want to mod it tbh). With OLED I have every Graphics setting on "High" and Texture Filtering at Anist x16, I capped the game at 60fps via the Decks' Performance game profile. Runs great.

If you're up to it (and want some fantastic quality of life fixes to this rather crappy port) see yoootube and search for "Fixing GTA IV with 4 Mods". I did just that (minus the music restoration since it's a PITA to implement) and it all works great. If you do this you'll need to put the following into the games Steam Launch Options to get the mod loader to work:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%

That'll get you done.

I’m playing GTA 3 Definitive Edition right now on Deck LCD at high settings and I’m struggling to hold 30fps

Indeed. LCD likely requires all Medium. OLED can handle all High. You can mod GTA4 on either if you desire, the process is identical (of course).

Short answer... It runs great on Steam Deck and Linux desktop systems.

I use 2048x1152 resolution for both Steam Deck and external 120Hz LG C3 television for flatline frametime 40fps gaming. Default settings and some higher tweakings.
(AF16, View Distance 40, Detail Distance 80)

Windows performance unknown....

I just watched the video, I can’t believe the game is so inferior to ancient consoles.

I would love a quicksave system!

[Anatolio Gandonskiy]

Installed it a few days ago, runs perfectly out of the box. The autosave feature isnt working so you gotta save manually everytime but other then that I got no porblems. Capped it at 45 fps on 90 Hz

I installed those mods. The difference is incredible. Thanks so much for drawing my attention to them!
