Steam Deck Playable - Anyone know if & when?

[WereHammerHead Ez]

Played it on Xbox One Via XCloud on launch & enjoyed it enough despite the rough edges of the game to wanna play it on Steam Deck & Possibly Nivida's GFN if they ever add it to their service.

If anyone knows or learns of the info regarding Steam Deck Playability, please let me know.

Using Proton-Experimental it can run the game but the frame rate is terrible even with all low settings.

Might have to wait for the team to fix it, The cinematic runs just fine.

Was kinda afraid of that, though I know it's only just after launch day, I'm hoping to hear of improvements soon...I'll keep this open for future developments atleast

Try start with -forcedisablesm6

Also, Steam Deck just doesn't really have the processing power for this, since UE5 has sh*t optimisation, unlike UE4, which can run pretty damn well as long as the devs don't do anything stupid.

I don't think so.

It runs quite well and still looking good with Engine.ini setting tailored for SD hardware and using Decky Framegen plugin to boost FPS beyond 30

No need to use -forcedisablesm6 or -sm5 anymore.
