ProtonDB is great - I usually check that before buying a game
Same, helped me out many times - even finding settings or the correct Proton version for some older games
Now that I think about it feel like every game board on steam should have a steam deck section for people to submit settings that worked for them.
I have no answer sadly but rather a similar question: are the default graphics settings on startup via the Steamdeck adjusted to the Steamdeck?
Games can do that and some do, but mostly they run like on any other PC with their default settings, or sometimes they try to guess the initial settings based on the hardware spec (like texture quality based on amount of VRAM)
Ok. Playing Lake I noticed that the initially set graphics of high do sometimes cause stutters, so perhaps I should be scaling those down.
The Deck does not always like running games at high or ultra graphics settings.
The good news is that if you're playing handheld on the native screen, a drop to low or medium for better frame rates isn't always noticeable.
Same thing if you decide to run a game at a lower 16:10 resolution and then use FSR to upscale it... the bit of extra blur introduced isn't that noticeable on the small screen. It's a good trick to get a bit more oomph when running AAA games (like when I played through Jedi: Fallen Order last year, I set it to 500p and FSR to get a stable 40 FPS lock in most of the game).
Thanks for the explanation! I will adjust my settings! :)
There is a Decky Plugin called ProtonDB Badges which links to the games ProtonDB entry and people tend to document the settings that worked for them there. Might be worth a look.
There is a Decky plugin. (I believe it’s called DeckSettings)
No idea where it sources the info - but it does exactly what you ask, right on the Deck in gaming mode.
As far as I can tell that plugin is currently not in the Decky Plugin Store because the Dev didn't properly maintain it. Though I've read the developer is working on a new version.
Ah bummer. Thanks for the info. Hopefully it comes back - I used it to set up a bunch of games that. As is tradition, I haven’t played any of the games I setup lol
