Steam Deck16 Reports
All settings medium, TAA, and resolution scale set to 75%
Tiny menu and UI text
In game photos won't transfer between devices
A little fuzzy but mostly solid 40 fps experience.
TDP slider at 8 when not plugged in
UI text is a bit too small for the Steam Deck's screen
some slight drops during heavy battles or when looking at certain big enviroments
perfomance drops on the Comrades multiplayer game mode, didn't managed to find anyone during matchmaking.
overall an good experience on the Deck, perfomance stays consistent between 40 to even 60 at times even on battles, lowering down the resolution scale can help with stability.
battery life and heating are big problems though, I recommend playing it plugged in for an better experience.
I capped the game to 40 fps for a smoother experience. I experienced a couple of crashes (presumably because vram filled up).
The crashes were not frequent enough to detract from the experience.
Reduced Refresh Rate to 40hz
Hair seems to be oddly distorted for no apparent reason.
Initially my controller wasn't detecting the menu button, I had to re-select the official layout for the game to correct it.
Game refuses to run at 60FPS even on Low Settings.
Text is a bit small and can't be customized, but not a deal breaker
Due to the small text, I don't think it should be Steam Verified, but still totally playable. It's a fun game that runs great at default setting. I've enjoyed playing on the deck.
Mapped select button
UI text and subtitles are small, size is not customizable
Game always crashes after 5~10 minutes of gameplay
Tried the recommended Proton version as well as experimental and GE, the game still crashes with all of them.
Just change the resolution as the default isn't the best one. I've also capped fps to 40 and changed graphic settings to high and it runs at 30-40 fps. Maybe change it to medium if you want it to cap at 40.
Game will launch and show a loading screen for a moment, but then crashes to desktop without an error message. This happens regardless of Proton version (default, Experimental, hotfix, GE, and various older Proton versions all tested). Thought the issue might have been with the Preview branch initially, but I've switched back to Stable and I'm getting the same thing. Strangely though, the demo which I tried last week ran perfectly.
Changed to native resolution
Changed to Steam Controller layout
In general I feel the text in FFXV is difficult to read but maybe that's just me.
Besides the text readability issues, I think the only thing I noticed was that the audio went out of sync with the video in one cutscene. Otherwise, I completed the game without any gameplay issues on my Steam Deck after 25-30 hours (I don't always do sidequests in RPGs).
Map the left hand menu button to Select.
FSR seems not to work properly on the Steam Deck as its always gets stuck in a small window
Locked at 30 FPS
Game gets stuck in Windowed Mode below native resolutions
FSR bug report: https://github.com/Plagman/gamescope/issues/472
For near 60fps, set graphics to Low and use Resolution 75-100%. For more quality, set graphics to Average and cap fps in-game at 30fps.
