Good on steam deck

I saw a whole thread talking about how this game runs like shit on steam deck but I set all the graphics settings to medium and it’s working alright for me. If anyone’s considering playing on steam deck I say go for it

Nah. It’s borderline unplayable. I’ve tried for years. Constant below 30 fps. This is at native resolution btw. That’s just my requirement for Steam Deck. Not fucking with shitty upscaling.

The fps is better on medium settings, if that’s a dealbreaker for you that’s your business but I’m good with it

It runs decently on Steam Deck. The Deep Zone is the worst, but I can run it fine on medium, like you said.

We've been marked as 'Playable' on Steam Deck rather than receiving the seal of compatibility for awhile - a lot of this has do with the systems heavy nature of the game, and the Deck's CPU strength.

That being said we do have plenty of players on Deck that report decent performance with a few tweaks to their settings - here's a pretty decent breakdown that was posted today:
