Buying my first SD today (hopefully)! Trying to work out what game to play on it first, any suggestions? Is AW2 in a playable state? I know it’s probably pushing the deck to the limit.
I’ve heard not great. Even on low with a lot of FSR it struggles to remain a consistent 30, with very consistent dips below. Maybe it’ll be improved as the game receives more patches, but the fact it’s on Epic and not Steam makes me doubtful of intentional deck support. Here’s a guide on getting it running though if you’re really into the idea of playing it on deck https://steamdeckhq.com/tips-and-guides/alan-wake-2-on-steam-deck/
intentional deck support
There’s no such a thing, controls aside perhaps
Some sections run quite well but for the most part it’s in the 20s. Not a good Deck experience.
SD is still missing native mesh shader support.
