Wow 8hrs, I’ve never gotten more than 2 on a laptop
Comment on There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple.

Was BG3 smooth? I’m getting jealous if it was. It’s a hot mess on my shitty PC.

I didn’t play much of it but it ran decently when I tired it. I just decided it was the type of game I wanted to plat with all the settings maxed on my laptop.
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 months ago
It couldn’t play at max settings?

In general the Steam Deck is not the kind of device that is going to run things at max settings. You are gonna play at 720p30FPS low settings but be happy you can play at all on a train or airplane.
You can stream from your PC to your couch or bed if you are at home.

Definitely not on Steam Deck.

Steam Deck screen is only 800p so that’s the resolution for all games. And it’s perfect for the screen size.

I’m so glad Valve did not give in to the tech-number-nerds who want 2K resolution on tiny screens, saves so much battery life.

I’d be happy if it played Owlcat RPGs at near full settings. Those games are allot more fun than BG3, imo.
I digress though. It’d be nice to be able to play recent games again. If the deck can do that on my TV, I’m down.

We hook our Steam Deck up to a 4k projector and it looks amazing. The built in upscaler from 800p to 4k is astonishingly good. Obviously not AS good as native but and many games are limited to 30fps but holy smokes it’s more than good enough.

It is. From my experience a couple months back its crisp. Not the highest graphics, and it took a little getting used to from a high-end PC, but it was really nice. In certain aspects even preferable xD

It might do now. They’ve done a lot of improvements.
Even on PS5 it was an absolute mess in co-op. 30fps (if you were lucky) all round, constant freezes (several seconds) when swapping characters, many many crashes. Whenever we told it to save, we’d have to both touch nothing to make sure it didn’t crash while saving. Oh, and there was a bug meaning only the player who chose to sleep for the day would get any companion progression.
