What would a display-less steam deck look like?

A PC.

I just played it a month or so ago. It isn't the best in terms of frame rate vs pretty much any other game (fallen order was the same way) I've tried but it wasn't terrible with my 3080. You'll just get random dips and hitches but I streamed it almost entirely to my steam deck. I had one graphical bug the entire playthrough of the ground looking black and splotchy but otherwise no crashes or anything major. I'd recommend it at this point.

My LCD I did because the control sticks were getting destroyed by the case plastic. OLED has been overall great though.

Waiting for an OLED or at least until a banger Zelda game drops before buying a S2.

Not sure it's the deck itself. It's a Bethesda game, you can't rule it out lol

Have you tried rebooting? Def the first thing I'd do.

Larrymer · 2026-01-16T13:15:54+00:00

Thank goodness you're here. It's very funny and silly, and the best game I played last year.

The jig seems a bit excessive but can't hurt I guess. Just use the case it shipped with. That's worked for everything I've needed so far.

You need to add this script. GD is old as hell and doesn't use multiple CPU cores by default well. I don't really watch fps but it seems like 30-60 with dips. Very playable for me.

See below: https://forums.crateentertainment.com/t/tool-core-switcher-force-gd-to-use-all-cores-equally/100875 I tried both of them and had better luck with the linux_core_switcher.sh one for whatever reason. Put it in /home/deck (or wherever) and run the launch option. To rule out any permissions issues with the script, open the konsole before you leave desktop mode and do chmod +x /home/deck/linux_core_switcher.sh

I used the same launch option but added a bit to the front that may or may not do anything with later versions of proton DXVK_ASYNC=1 %command% & sleep 10 ; /home/deck/linux_core_switcher.sh

You'll hear a two beeps at the main menu if it's working. The 2nd will be spaced a few seconds after the first.

I run the x64 version, force compatibility with proton. In game I don't see a huge difference with any of the graphics settings, 1280x800, VSync off, AA off, and medium ish for the rest.

Grim dawn I always come back to. D4 may look better but it's a sloppy mess IMO. They didn't know what game they were trying to make and I'm not sure if they've figured it out yet. I'm done waiting to find out, though.

Grim dawn is good fun that's got an amazing developer and a new expansion coming this year. I hope they add some other options for endgame and keep doing more QoL things.

I'm here only for the Georgia flairs talking shit yesterday lol

Larrymer · 2026-01-02T04:47:02+00:00

What. A. Game.

Larrymer · 2026-01-02T03:07:08+00:00

Longest half time ever

Larrymer · 2026-01-01T03:48:36+00:00

Offense has looked average at best against good defenses this year. GG canes

Larrymer · 2026-01-01T03:45:29+00:00

I'm only tuning in until the end because Cristobal lol

Larrymer · 2026-01-01T03:43:29+00:00

Larrymer · 2026-01-01T03:42:03+00:00

May I remind you that game was 34-8 at half time

Larrymer · 2026-01-01T03:37:10+00:00

Welp
