Sharing My Steam Deck Settings

[TheDizzle78]

I just wanted to share with other Steam Deck users a list of settings that has been working pretty well for me. I am getting between 28-30 FPS most of the time. Pretty solid 30 when indoors. It gets the occasional hitch that I'm not sure if it's loading, optimization issues, or just Unreal 5 being Unreal 5. And in case it matters, it's installed on the main SSD on an LCD 512gb model Steam Deck. (Hopefully they fix the cloud saves soon, because I'd like to play on my main PC more, but I started on the Deck and don't want to start over or manually copy saves) Enjoy the game, everyone!

I played for 2 hours tonight stable 30fps for all dungeons and overland it dipped to 28-30fps and back again so not too bad the only time it dips down to 5fps is only during a loading screen and I have similar settings to you. I think they will put out. A patch that will make deck owners get a solid 30fps

I hope so! It's so close to being a solid 30. I'd take more, but honestly, it's not doing too bad for a handheld PC! Most games tend to get better over time, so we shall see. Enjoy the game!

Yeah it’s really not bad in fact it runs better than dread delusion…and that is a pixel art game (that is prob the worst performing verified deck game I have ever seen that barely even touches 25 fps ) and it’s again a retro style game. This is a AAA game and I got 30 fps solid 98 % of the time mostly only dips on loading screens and for brief seconds in overland it will dip to 28 and during some fights down to about 26 but 98 % of the time it’s hovers at 30fps.

It’s worth I think it’s very playable and most of the people complaining are rich people with high end alien ware top of the line pcs who are used to 100+ fps on every game minimum. For many of us common folk who are used to console or cheap pcs solid 30fps is very playable and Nintendo switch players are no stranger to 30fps.

Cloud Saves should work if you don't use OneDrive or even Windows at all, btw.
