How does this run on Steam deck after the update?

I'm redownloading this now. I'm hoping it runs real smoothly. Want to check out the new dungeon master creation thing

I don't own a Steam Deck, but I doubt a PS2 game won't run perfectly on it.

It most likely runs perfectly. Even my potato Laptop with 4GB RAM and a N820 processor can run it just fine.

I know it's verified but sometimes patches break games and still keep their verified status

I mean, I can't test it myself, but it's a PS2 game. I don't think it's possible for a patch to break it on Steam Deck.

Your hardware is 100x stronger than the specs this game was made for. It doesn't make any sense for it to not run perfectly...

For anyone else who plays this on Steam deck, I just checked and played around with it a little bit and everything worked fine even without messing around with the settings. Still runs great

Lol I can tell you don't have a steam deck. There's tons of games that it should be able to run but can't for various reasons. The old Civilization games are classic example. They could probably run on my toaster but can't run on steam deck

Yes, that was said in my first post.

to give you an actual answer, it runs great! tbh it was still pretty good even before the update, ...apart from the whole not being able to save your settings bit lol. the dungeon reroll bit is a nice QOL improvement, and the CRT filter is pretty cute :)
theres stlll some weird UI choices, mainly from trying to fit in new features into something built 20 years ago but it all works well and its still perfectly usable, just a bit clunky (the FPS slider takes forever, but there's not much point setting it past 60 on steam deck anyway)

have fun ^-^

It runs fine, I still think the presentation doesn't come close to what it was on PS2 though. Phantom Brave was one of the rare PS2 games, like Disgaea and La Pucelle, to be designed around 240p output. 240p was a perfect fit for the sprites and the UI which used a pixel art interface.

The PC port seems to be based on the Wii version which removes the pixel art fonts, and the CRT filter isn't very good, it's basically only scanlines so you're missing a lot of what a CRT does for image quality. But it also doesn't play well with the user interface which doesn't map to a 240p grid anyway.

This is probably the best PH3 could do within the confines of the Wii port, but I feel a new port, similar to what Engine Software did with La Pucelle or the PS1 Rhapsody games, would be required to do Phantom Brave's presentation justice.

This version has more than a whiff of "programmer art" about it, even using the Android system font Roboto on the title screen, which made me puke a little inside. Most people don't care about these things, but they matter.
