ProtonDB | User Profile for roadkill

i haven't tinkered yet, but i think battery life could be improved with some reduced settings... it's not particularly well optimised, and certainly doesn't need to be 60fps for this style of game

FINAL FANTASY VIII

The music in Final Fantasy games is a vital part of the atmosphere of the story. It's a very different game without music (less engaging).

Control Layout:Switch To Community Layout: EvilFluffyBunny's (Or Any That Emulate Keyboard Presses)

Secondary Launcher Problem:

Helps to have touchpad bound for mouse + click to get through the warning & launcher

Audio:Missing

No music

Input:Other

Controller must be set to keyboard shortcuts, doesn't work as a controller

I tried to use protontricks as others have recommmended on Linux, but had errors unpacking several of the libraries (e.g. dmsynth). Also tried GE-Proton 7.39 and Proton Experimental, but none fixed the music.

Gauntlet Slayer Edition

works out of the box, great couch multiplayer game with multiple controllers

2 years ago

Difficult To Read Text:Yes

► Multiplayer

Overall (local):Excellent

couch-multiplayer is the way God intended this game to be played (it's kind of lame any other way IMO)

tested with PS5 controllers, but should work with anything Deck-compatible

God of War

fix the swapfile + VRAM defaults and it works really well, ~2-3hrs on a full battery

2 years ago

Tinker Steps:Other

increased min VRAM to 4GB in the BIOS
used CryoByte33's 'steam-deck-utilities' tool to increase swap file size to 16GB and reduce swappiness value from 100 down to ~10

Control Layout:Switch To Community Layout: Tried A Few Of The More Popular Ones, They're Mostly Good

Control Layout Customization:Grip Buttons, Gyro

Battery Performance:

roughly followed SDHQ guide:

Framerate limit: 30
TDP limit: 30
Output Resolution: 1152x720
AMD FSR: Quality
FSR Sharpening 0.3
Texture Quality: Low
Model Quality: High
Anisotropic Filter: Min
Shadows: Original
Reflections: Original
Atmospherics: Low
Ambient Occlusion: Original

Difficult To Read Text:

not regularly a concern

Performance:Slight Performance Problems

Instability:Occasionally

crashed reliably if i tried to open a browser and switch between GoW + browser (likely running out of RAM + Swap)
crashed maybe 2-3 times otherwise in playing entire game + all achievements
going into standby was OK mostly, but it did crash once after going in + out of standby a few times in a row

CryoByte33's changes + min 4GB VRAM are pretty sensible changes for all games as best I can see, so worth doing

Machinarium

works perfectly with a little controller tinkering from the default

2 years ago

Tinker Steps:Other

controller customisation

Control Layout:Switch To Community Layout: Roadkill's Machinarium

Control Layout Customization:Yes

added shortcuts/controls for:

right joystick for height (left joystick mapped as right joystick)
directional arrows + space for one of the puzzles (d-pad + A)
ctrl for quick access to inventory (back button) otherwise trackpad as mouse + click got me through most of it

Battery Performance:Made Changes To Improve

lowered TDP a bit
