Required installing Intel Indeo 3.2 for Intro cutscenes. https://archive.org/details/intel-indeo-codec-3.2-4.1-5.0 I installed the 5.0 version for Windows 95 using protontricks just fine.
Mouse is a little jumpy on low resolutions. Dropped sensitivity down.
Dropped core performance down to 1 in Powertools. Game could run on a postage stamp.
Configuration executible did not detect my game was installed when launched under proton instance. Required to edit the user.reg file to make any changes. Game defaults to 640x480 fullscreen, dsound on.
Text and HUD does not scale with resolution.
Make sure to install Indeo or the cutscenes will not work.
Don't overthink the setup. You can futz with DGVK and DGvoodoo to try to keep the UI scaled at high res. But it's like the other user said, your better off playing at the original 640X480 and scaling it with FSR. It looks much cleaner that way, and its .1% the work. Good advice for most retro 2D games on the Deck imo.
Game defaults to a windowed mode, that will trigger FSR scaling if enabled. This makes the pixel art look blurred. Recommend switching to fullscreen in options.
Steam Deck controls did not work on inital launch. Problem was fixed by plugging in a keyboard, navigating to the game options, selecting controller and mapping the buttons. Takes a couple seconds and your controller will work on launch from that point onward.
Game experiences slowdown when dealing with a large cult with a lot of buildings. Experienced similar slowdown in Windows. And straight up freezes on PS5 so I suspect this might be an engine limitation.
Runs exactly the same as the Windows version for better and for worse. Any and all bugs experienced with co-op are platform agnostic. The games co-op mode is just really buggy (for now).
Some of the smaller flavor text is too blurry to read.
Prob goes without saying but be patient when uploading/downloading your cloud saves. They take a minute with this one.
It's Cyberpunk. It crashes at least once every few hours no matter what system you play it on.
Not exactly the way I would primarily choose to play this game. But if you already got a good PC at home and just want to take your save with you to run through some Gigs on your break at work? I can think of worse ways to play the game.
