ProtonDB | Game Details for The Expanse: A Telltale Series

The game feels too laggy, I would recomend playing it on windows.

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental

Performance:Significant Performance Problems

The game felt very laggy, FPS was fine but moving the camera was very choppy

Using defaults, the controller (xbox) was detected sometimes, but would drop out. No issues after switching to Experimental.

Stable at 35fps on both the Steam Deck screen and in docked mode. Disable vsync in-game and allow tearing in the Deck's options menu

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton8-25, Set launch options

MANGOHUD_CONFIG="fps_limit=35",no_display mangohud %command%

Used powertools to set cpu range from 2.0ghz to 3.2ghz and the gpu from 1.2ghz to 1.6ghz. View distance Medium, AA on medium, Effects Quality on high, Textures on high, and Post Processing on high. Set resolution to 720p for easy compatibility when docked. Used the NIS on 4 to upscale the image on a 1080p flatscreen and it looks great, but has occasional artifacting.

I'm speechless. It runs really, really well even without Proton! The gameplay is buttersmooth and render latency is crazy good

Audio:Other

First scene with control audio cut out for a few seconds at the very beginning.

Only played the first few minutes so far, but runs great on the steam deck out of the box. Draws about 25w and gets between 50-60fps so far.
