Hi, Why you want to play on steam deck is not offline game...
Is not a really good game for a console portable.

I double dipped just for Steam Deck.

I haven't downloaded the game yet, but sometime tomorrow I will. if you've only got troll responses by then add me and I'll give you a comprehensive comparison.

Also interested if there's any difference.
I play through the battle.net launcher and resolution isn't optimal.

I wonder if it's more optimized or same crap.

Yeah i also wonder if the steam shaders will just smooth out a lot of the experience

Hello, yes - I double dipped specifically so I could play on the Steam Deck.

Main reason was so I could have the experience as intended and since it is verified, I didn't mind paying again. Not for everyone, but I didn't get on with the workaround and since I've needed to factory reset my deck 3 times now I didn't want the hassle. I'm also deep into the Steam ecosystem so the time played, achievements and the way the social elements work is good.

Its playing a bit better on the Steam Deck than before - I didn't play a ton previously, but it runs smooth at around 60fps. The controls feels better although I'm not sure whats different, but I remember it not feeling as good. It looks fine, set to medium settings - looked a little poor when I loaded in town but once out in the open world looked great.

It feels more optimised but I have nothing to back that up, but felt very much before I was playing a workaround and now feels like a game that's perfect for the deck.

If I'm honest, the patch + steam deck verification + changes in S2 + openness from the devs about how boring the game could get made me want to jump back in.

My largest issue was battery drain. Is it better than before?

I played D4 more on deck than any other platform.

That way I could casually play on the couch and watch movies etc; it's a GREAT game for a portable.

It will probably feel more optimized as you are going to be sharing your shader cache now that it's on Steam which will help reduce the stuttering you might have gotten when using the battle.net version.

[RUSTY DALEK]

whats the game size for steamdeck?

[Madao]

First video is battlenet and second is from steam. for steamdeck performance
BIG difference, i'm actually mad that i wanna buy this

The game performs way better.

It's because Steam with SteamOS actually pre-cache the shaders of all games that run natively from Steam. So if you want to play this or any other game on the Steam Deck, it is recommended that you buy it from Steam.
