This is going to make some people upset but imho this game shouldn’t be verified, performance towards the end of act 2 and then act 3 is very poor and textures take too long to load on characters’ faces during conversations throughout the whole game (including some areas in act 1), it’s impossible not to notice even when you’re fine locking the game at 20 fps. Do yourself a favor and wait until you can experience this the way it was intended, the developers have been working hard on improving the game since launch and I’m sure it will be even better once you’re ready to play it.

It’s very buggy on some monitors, try rebooting your Deck after you’ve docked it.

Unfortunately I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum, the latest stable release is a broken mess on my monitor with the official dock. No signal and no audio until I remove the plug from the power socket and enter desktop mode to select the correct audio channel, as soon as the Deck is put to sleep these changes are lost and I have to do the whole process again.

The setting is there, it’s just not working for me.

I just reached act 3 and I can’t feel like recommending playing this on Steam Deck, I have a very high tolerance for low framerates but what gets to me is the low responsiveness and the face textures not loading correctly occasionally. Some NPCs in demanding areas have literally huge pixels all over their faces and that breaks my immersion real hard and a bit too often for my tastes. Sometimes actions and menus take several seconds to update, and the game can become quite stuttery even on the absolute lowest presets due to CPU limitations. Of all the games I’ve played so far I can confidently sat this is the one that is totally worth double dipping if you can afford it, it has cross saves so you get the best of both worlds and once you see how much passion the devs have poured into it you won’t regret buying two copies.
