Steam Deck Tip: Throttle TDP to 3W in performance settings

[Mr Krosis]

On the Steam Deck this game seems to happily use as much CPU power as it can, pulling 8-9W or more from the APU. If you enable the TDP limit in performance settings and drop it down to the lowest 3W option, the game still runs at a solid 30 FPS (that's the max for this game) but you get much better battery life (and quieter fans).

I'm not sure what all of that extra CPU power is being used for, but it doesn't seem to affect the frame rate when you take it away.

Hello Mr Krosis, thanks for trying the game on Steam Deck and sharing your experience and your tips on lowering CPU use and how to extend battery life.

It is Steam themselves that will test these titles to see if they are able to be used on the Steam Deck handheld, Ubisoft is not involved in testing this compatibility so we are not the ones who will grade the game as 'playable or 'verified'
