It keeps opening and closing the on-screen keyboard rapidly, making the whole device unresponsive and forcing user to reboot.
Experience based on native GOG DRM-free version of the game. No external launchers, just game's executable added to library directly as a non-Steam game.
Based on GOG DRM-free version of the game, added to the library as a non-Steam game running with Proton. Performance is great on low graphics settings in DX12 mode. You can even get playable framerates with ray tracing on if you want to (about 30 fps with FSR set to half resolution), but I wouldn't recommend it, unless you really want to drain your battery fast.
I changed sensitivity of pretty much everything, but it's down to the personal preference and I binded in-game shop to the Select button
Most text on screen is too small and very difficult to read
There are text size options in the game's settings, but still some HUD elements are a little bit too small in my opinion
Based on GOG DRM-free version of the game, added to library as non-Steam game running with Proton. Using "Steam Deck" graphics preset and FSR set to Performance mode I can get up to 60 fps, but usually it's at average of 40 to 50.
I've set fps limit to 50 and TDP limit at 7 watts
Subtitles and other UI elements could be slightly bigger
I play with medium graphics settings and Vulkan renderer. The game runs at stable framerate with no issues. It can run fine in 60 fps, but I play in lower framerate to save battery.
SteamDeck=0
You need to change that one launch option to get matchmaking to work. If you don't do that, the game will show you a message saying that matchmaking is not supported on Steam Deck. Performance-wise it's great on default (medium) settings, although it can drop even to 30 fps when there is a lot of going on on the screen.
Some controls in menus are a little awkward, but other than that it's perfect experience
Pretty poor performance with major frame drops in some places, but I would still call it "playable"
Steam Deck is a perfect device for this game. Really fun experience, works perfectly OOTB.
The game crashes in DirectX 11 mode. You have to run it with DirectX 9 to make it work.
You also need to manually set your screen resolution.
After a few minutes of playing, the game stops responding to any input and I have to restart it
For some reason, sometimes it comes back to life after clicking buttons rapidly, but after that it also skips a lot of dialogue, so I can't recommend it
Origin… I mean, the "EA app" sometimes refuses to run or logs me out. You can't play offline at all.
Text in menus is too small
Perfect experience playing with friend invited through EA app
Stable 60 fps, no issues at all (assuming their launcher cooperates)
I recommend tweaking settings like gyro sensitivity to your own liking
Very fun game, especially if you use gyro controls to control your trombone
