Low quality on Steam Deck

[Just a Floating Eye]

NOBODY else has this problem but WHY is my game low quality on steam deck, the resolution is so bad that I cannot read anything and the words look like Minecraft enchantment table.

It might sound like I am rambling but that's because I am SO MAD that there is no fix, I tried mods, I tried changing steam settings, I tried changing proton verisons, it's pointless.

Dev(s) seems to be prioritizing adding an "Arachnophobia mode" over optimizing their game.

Cant possibly compare that, arachnophobia is something that probably took a few minutes to implement, very simple model swap, optimization though is something that usually doesnt happen until the END of the development cycle.

Until all the core mechanics and content has been added, there is literally no point in optimizing. That's one of the last things you do.

Both you and I Know that there will be no "END" for the development cycle of this early access unity title, it's a tale as old as time itself really.

Point being, optimizations are usually not done early one, they're usually done late in development, and it's not something you can just do in 5 minutes, else they would've done so already. Arachnophobia on the other hand, like I said, is a very simple model swap that probably took about 5 minutes to implement.

Fair enough.

Anyways

@OP Pretty sure the HD mod allows you to change the resolution to native 1080p (and higher).

Shouldn't that work?

[i gave my baby a fade]

don't use pc mode just use gaming mode thats what i do when ever i want to the game.

i can confirm this.
since i play modded i run the game from desktop mode (and r2 appimg).
switching resolution to windowed fullscreen in LC settings helps A TON.

Alright so I found the fix and it was changing it from borderless windowed to something else I don't remember just experiment with that. (also I just realised that the person above has in fact found the fix before me)

This didn't do anything when I tried it a while ago

And this also did nothing

Can you find out what setting wound up working for you? my friend is trying to play on her steam deck and the qualities so bad she cant even read the text in menus.
thanks!

I just tried every option like borderless, maximised window and so on. I can check later what works for me.

I had the same issues (jagged edges, unreadable text) - I changed my resolution to 1280x800 and it fixed the resolution issues for me!

(Got the idea from https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/187v895/modding_lethal_company_on_steam_deck)

I found that this worked:

* Change the mode to "windowed" (not windowd fullscreen)
* Right-click on the window title bar and select fullscreen
* If a dialog appears, check "do not show again" and ok. You'll need to do the previous step again

I know I'm late to this, but I had the same problem.
The solution: Disable shading with half resolution in the steam deck power settings.
