Steam Deck

[Drake532]

Does the game run well on steam deck? Any settings I should change?

[Jeris]

It runs OK. You will see a slowdown when you need to load a new cell it seems like. But, once loaded you should be back to a playable framerate.

Eh, it's playable, though i seemingly have to have the graphics set low enough that the whole "remaster" part doesnt end up meaning much. Also has some instability issues, but hard to say which aspects of that are the hardware vs the software (like crashing because i alt+tabbed was probably software related, that was a known issue in original oblivion as well).

[Ayduil]

dont recommend it on the steamdeck you will not have a nice time

[MISO4EVER]

It runs ok 30 fps with some dips
To 25 definitely playable on lower settings you still
Benefit from some of the new systems and change of art style. It’s definitely still a new experience vs the original on the deck and the original had issues with controls. If you aren’t a spoiled brat and expect 100 fps on a portable device you will be fine.

[Cryptic]

No it absolutely doesn't

[RequiemsRose]

Probably worth noting but it is playable...mostly....if DOCKED. Im not sure i'd even wanna try with just the handheld. Even docked you wont get most the experience the remaster is trying to sell (the fresh coat of paint actually looking good).

It runs decent on the Deck but it does default to the wrong settings

I don't expect high frame rates, but steady 30 would be nice but this runs like garbage and looks horrible. You're better off running the original Oblivion with some mods on the Deck than this. Makes the "Rematser" pointless. Looks and runs great on my PC though, but away from home playing on my Deck I think I'd pass on that, it's bad!

It defaults to the low setting which works better you need to tinker with it anyway it’s not perfectly but it’s mostly a 30 fps

Slow texture loading, and stuttering outside. Especially during the day and when entering a new area.

After waiting 30 seconds to ensure all textures loaded.

Shortly after running up to a building. Bricks loaded right before I got the screenshot.

Also, oddly specific sidenote, but take the initial brightness slider seriously apparently. My game keeps defaulting to the extra bright setting i chose on startup even though ive since set it correctly. Wont stop reverting to so bright that night looks like day (can be reset by simply hovering over the brightness option in settings without actually changing anything).
Not sure if that's steam deck specific or general, but i havent seen others mention it at least, hard to tell when the actual discussions get buried in arguments though.

any chance of them smoothing the game then for deck?
aint no way my 8 year old pc can handle this game
might get this for my bday next month

[H5N1]

my 8 year old laptop with a in i5 8300H and a 1050Ti can "run" the game at a brisk 20FPS so at least the Deck is better than that. I have the GP version so I will not be buying it on Steam until a sale is had.

What I do is wait as bit as you said it allows it to load it’s annoying but does prevent some stuttering
