It’s rare for crap like this to hit a game I’m currently playing, but here we are. It is astounding to me that this company managed to absolutely bomb its reputation so quickly after building it back up over the last 10 or so years. I’m not even sure what any of this is supposed to accomplish, as people are reporting that mods still work if you have an OS that can even start the game.
Steam’s verification badges are a good starting point for a game’s playability. For more information, or to confirm if a game can actually be played when Steam says otherwise, give ProtonDB a look.
Valve has done well at making the Steam Deck a ‘play things out of the box’ experience but there may be occasions where you’ll need to do a bit of tinkering. If that happens there’s thankfully a lot of good community resources out there to help you work through it.
Unless you don’t care about audio delay, you’ll ideally use a pair that has a low latency mode. I personally can’t use any otherwise, and even then the delay is too much for a game such as Hifi Rush.
Trying to keep it tame this time as Monster Hunter Rise has me plenty busy. Got Forza Horizon 4 and may come back for an Aeon’s End expansion later.
No wrong choice here. Hardware improvements in all arease but (mostly) performance, or a bunch of games.
I’d pick the OLED myself but my game library is also plenty big.
Don’t blame you. I’m thinking that I will but that’s only because a buddy of mine has already offered to buy my current one. I wouldn’t consider it without selling the old.
Until they drop the price and improve the game I’ll just be plugging away at Grim Dawn.
It’s been a while but I think I also struggled to hit a solid 60 without substantial graphical downgrades. The biggest thing to check, if they haven’t fixed it, is if you’re using proton? The Linux version of the game, at least as of last year, is total crap. Running the Windows version through proton is a substantial improvement. Hopefully enough to get you to 60fps.
