I changed the refresh rate and limited FPS to 40. This saved several W but has no inpact to the game play.
No matter what grafic settings I get micro-stutter.
The text is small on the steamdeck. Often barely readable.
Native works great on steamdeck and total power consumtion is nice with 5-7W which gives a long battery time. Some text, not all, is barely readable. It tend to be the text in speach bubble. It is a bit annoying but the game is playable.
The games does NOT work in normal gaming mode on the steam deck, only when switching to desktop mode, then launching the game, does the game recocnize the controller and you can play. Dunno about added a controller in gaming mode.
The steam deck can run the game on high, but I changed it to Medium and reduced some settings. Further limiting refresh rate and FPS to 40 helps saving power without changing the game experience.
So it works just great. I dislike the default gamepad beheavier, so I have made my own layout (not published).
Use 40hz + 40 fps to inpove performance.
Some fonts are diffecult to read.
When connected to my tv the sound sometimes just stoppes for a few seconds. Does ONLY happen when connected to a display via HDMI.
Graphical degration in dx12 mode. USE dx11!
I whould still recommend to use the old version (can be selected in the beta option), to late for me because my savegames is now no longer compatible with the older version. The older version works better then the next-gen.
40 hz and fps
Some text is hard to read or not possiable.
When collected to a display via hdmi the sound just cuts out randomly for a few seconds. Happens rearly.
Only on dx12
Input is laggy, not sure if it is supposed to be that way, but feels laggy.
Some times after a while of gaming the game crashes randomly. Furtemore right after Ciri saves the Baron does the game crash, ALLWAYS making it imposiable to continue. I tried to verify file integration and deleted proton files.
While the game works like 95% of the time, crashing at the same spot all the times makes it impossiable to pass, dunno if it is only at the Barens story or if it will happend more frequently. Somehow I passted this section on my PC, so I'll be able to contuine, but if you only have a steam deck you cant to jack s**t.
Changed buttons
Text is sometimes a bit small, but generally okay.
Though its better connected to a monitor.
It is possible to reduce refresh rate and FPS to 40 to save power, but 60 FPS feel a bit better.
At the end 20+ minutes there are a lot of enemies on the screen which courses some frame time variation but fps is 58-60.
The game required to be launched from desktop
The game requires you to modify some local files in a file explorer / file editor. This can not be done in normal gaming mode.
