Works right out of the box at locked 60 fps with around 4hrs of battery life.
Plays perfectly. A few instances of very mild frame time fluctuation in Klonoa 2, but nothing that impacted play.
60 FPS Deck cap (OLED)
The frame rate running on Steam Proton on Steam Deck for me is awful. As far as I am currently concerned, the game is unplayable.
Frame rate (for Klonoa 1) was unexpectedly stuck at around 15-20fps, which is an oddity when I've seen reviews and videos with higher texture settings running the game at a smoother 30-60fps. For Klonoa 2, it was better which makes the fps for K1 even more confusing.
Works very well with only 1 problem that has a workaround.
Changing window mode from fullscreen to windowed or borderless crashes the game. Alt tab while in exclusive fullscreen crashes the game. If you want to play in fullscreen play in borderless and you won't have these problems. As for the input delay in borderless/windowed, you can disable your compositor.
The game works very well as it should (Tested on both desktop, laptop dedicated and laptop integrated). The game crashes if you change your display mode from exclusive fullscreen or you alt tab while in this mode. If you want fullscreen without the crashes, use borderless and disable the compositor if you're concerned about input delay
Enabled Manual GPU Clock Control and tweaked GPU Clock Frequency between 600 - 1100. 1100 seems to be the sweet spot for most scenarios.
Game would crash when attempting to change the Window Type to anything other than Fullscreen. Changing "Game Resolution" to 1920x1200 and checking "Set resolution for the internal and external display" in the game's Steam Properties fixed the issue and allowed me to change the in-game resolution. I played at 1440x900 for true 16:10 support.
Changing the Window Type using Valve's recommended Proton version would occassionally softlock the game, so use GE-Proton7-42 as a workaround, if you wanna change that.
In the parts I played I experienced no issues, and no dips below 60fps at 800p highest settings.
No issues all the way through both games on Nobara (Fedora) Linux
Played both games on this system 90% of the time, and had zero issues. Perfect 60fps, highest settings, at 4K.
Worked flawlessly.
I ran the game in borderless fullscreen in a tiling window manager and never had issues.
Essentially flawless gameplay, running at 60fps for the vast majority of the time. A couple of brief dips here and there, usually just after loading screens. This was all on default settings.
Perfect performance for Klonoa 1, better framepacing than Windows for Klonoa 2 with the system-wide 60FPS cap
I played most of Klonoa 1 on my Windows 11 Desktop, but specifically chose to play Klonoa 2 on Steam Deck due to framepacing issues. 160 Hz on my desktop felt worse than system-capped 60HZ on my Steam Deck.
Changing screen sizes freezes game if done too much
No issues at all with either game. Only bug is that resolution changing can freeze the game but otherwise it's perfection
changing the display option away from fullscreen froze the game
Played through two levels, no issues that I could notice. Game worked out of the box on SteamDeck using default launch options.
On SteamDeck specifically there should be no need to run in non-fullscreen, but be aware that changing this option did cause the game to freeze for me.
- TDP Limit - 10W
- Manual GPU Frequency - 900 - 1100MHz
- Refresh Rate - 50Hz (Can drop to 40 but frames seem to drop more often, maybe 45?)
At default settings, the game runs at 60 FPS with no issues.
Works just fine without issue.
Anti-aliasing does not seem to work correctly
Game hangs on alt-tab and alt-f4
