I overclocked my steam deck, and now it runs at a 90% locked 30 fps in new Atlantis.
So, I’d say within the next update and maybe Proton update, we can see it improve heavily.
Half Life 2 has better animations lol
Beautiful! Soon I’ll be able to be completely bored in space at acceptable frame rates!
Already at 20% off. I can wait for the big drops as the Diablo 4 cycle continues and Starfield gets closer to what it’s actually worth.
In the meantime, they can fix as much as they are able without admitting to themselves the parts they broke in the design phase.
So it runs like shit
AMD fumbled the bag on Starfield. How they didn’t take the Cyberpunk approached to making this work on the Deck is beyond me. They wanted this to be Spider-Man levels and instead its got people feeling weird. Like beating the game doesn’t make me wanna play it again.
I’m running my deck (LCD) with 4GB VRAM and CU2 Recommended Settings and since the most recent patch I’ve noticed MUCH better performance, currently running it at 800p without FSR, all low settings except Indirect Lighting (Ultra), Volumetric Lighting (Medium), GTAO (Medium) and Crowd Density (Medium). Game looks and runs brilliant with these settings
I’ve installed Steam Deck Essentials mod (basically lower-resolution textures) and it runs really nicely on medium.
I think in terms of the hand crafted moments and questlines it’s among the best Bethesda has done but the exploration is caca lol. I still had fun with it personally
Honestly from countless reviews and opinions from friends, Starfield is not a great game
There are so many other games have came out that I would rather spend my time and money. I would probably buy it like 3 years later with a massive discount.
K.
Why tho? Games boring as shit.
The game is terrible to begin with lol. I wouldn’t waste the money or space
It’s so weird how everything else runs well but once you’re in a city all hell breaks loose
I KNOW
And 100% fully playable on SteamDeck through GeForce Now
The game is an unstable mess even on my desktop with a 4080.
I’m nowhere near masochistic enough to try to play it on the Steam Deck.
No it’s not. 4080 can easily reach 90-100 FPS in most areas. I’ve never dipped below 70 even in cities. Your CPU is probably your bottleneck
I have a 13900k. It’s not so much the performance but intermittent random crashes on entering certain areas.
Also the game is just dull. There’s no space exploration, and even space combat is half-baked.
I have a 3070 and realize how much I should appreciate the steam deck a bit for trying
I Might Be The Only One Here, But… I Played It On Steam Deck, It Played Okay In My Opinion, But… The Storyline And Gameplay Made Zero Sense To Me, I Couldn’t Make Heads Or Tales On Storyline Progression, Got Confused And Lost So Many Times On The Beginning Of The Campaign, And Once Landed On My First Planet, I Got So Bored, I Went Back To Re-Play Mass Effect Andromeda.
I Might Force Myself To Go Back To Starfield at Some Point, But Only Once I Get Really Bored.
You Don’t Need To Type Every Word With A Capital Letter. It Makes It More Difficult To Focus On Your Actual Post.
That being said, I get it. Starfield had (has?) potential, but never manages to draw you in. The story is lacking, the gameplay is too much jumping through menus, space combat/travel is pretty pointless (just fast travel), annoying to navigate on planets/cities,…
I want to enjoy the game and find myself enjoying it when arriving at a quest location (fighting, looting,…). In between I get pulled out of the immersion and that just sucks.
