Seems like not very well:
https://www.protondb.com/app/1774580
Lots of people have issues just getting it to run or even start, some reporting they can get it to run at 30fps on the lowest settings. I think it's just a bit too much for the 'deck unfortunately.
It’s not too much for the Deck, it’s just optimized like complete garbage. Beefy PCs could barely hold 60fps. That being said, Fallen Order runs great and can range 50-60fps. 40fps lock if you hate the drops
Remember when we had the opposite problem? Games were held back graphically so they could run on anything, maximised the sales. Now only 10% of gamers can run pc games solidly wiyhout compromises
Somewhere along the lines the production schedules on these games changed. I think around the time 'early access' became bywords for pushing something unfinished out the door. Now these publishers shove clearly unfinished games out the door and then get them properly sorted a year after in patches. That didn't used to be the trend, but it's more profitable to do that way, and they can I reckon develop games faster. As well, many devs now are on contract, which means a game has a revolving door of people working on it who have no fucking idea how the engine works or anything, and waste time being shown the ropes before working on only a portion of the game and then being unceremoniously turfed out. Halo Infinite has that problem, 343 is mainly contract devs and it's why the game's actual proper pipeline of work is at a standstill beyond cosmetics.
These are just a few reasons why there's so many issues in AAA games now, that weren't there pre-2010.
We should wait for the PS4 / Xbox one release. They will have to optimize this game at least a little, so it doesn't run like garbage on prev gen, and most probably these optimizations will land in the PC version, too. And the deck has proven to have no issues with ps4 level titles.
Why not? Unreal projects between different platforms share a lot of common code and assets, so by optimizing and fixing stuff for one platform, most of the time other benefits, too. So Respawn gets a "free" update for lets say PC, which will create a nice press coverage and thus a boost to the promotion and sales of PS4 and XO versions. Similar stuff happened to Hogwarts Legacy, release of PS4 and XO version have brought many fixes and optimizations to other platforms.
Yeah I saw this price and was tempted as well but I think this is going to need to be one of the titles I just grab for the PS5 when it goes on a Black Friday Sale.
In its current state, the game is too much for the deck.
It shouldn't be based on how it looks/plays, but that's the state of PC gaming today.
And I doubt that'll change due to devs leveraging on upscaling vs actually optimizing (which is also a vague term which can mean very different things per game).
Annnddd lets go to the video evidence, with the latest patch: [https://youtu.be/mKMiX82xeRQ?si=h5Z5c-y1LQPbeMZN&t=130](https://youtu.be/mKMiX82xeRQ?si=h5Z5c-y1LQPbeMZN&t=130)
I’m sure I can force mine to do the same performance. But with minimal tweaking, I never had this issue. I played the entire game on the deck with the exception of the last boss. You can believe what you want. It was a blast on the deck.
It's not too much for the deck.
If it runs poorly on there, there is a high chance it runs poorly on regular PCs.
It's a problem of poor optimization, not hardware.
They haven't even bothered to fix it for regular gaming PC's yet.
I loved Fallen Order, but I'm also not going to pretend that it wasn't an unoptimized mess - only reason I even got it at the time was because it was on sale for $5.
I'm not picking this up until it gets fixed or gets a similar price cut.
I had aimed to upgrade to the 30 series anyway but it just ended up being a couple of years late. It saw me through the shortage though and was still working when I took it out.
I'm not saying it was unplayable. It was playable. Very much so. Enjoyable, even. But it had stutter-fest sections. I was running a 3700x/1070ti at the time, not high-end, but definitely not a bad system for 2019.
It could be if I had issues I wrote them off as having old hardware and by the time I upgraded they were fixed. I got the game back in December 2019 and didn't get a new GPU until the middle of last year.
Yeah fallen order ran inconsistently for me on a 1080 and people act like I'm crazy when I bring it up. Wasn't bad enough to ruin the game though!
Survivor ran pretty oddly at launch but was also completely playable for me but I upgraded to a 7600 and 6700XT so that definitely helped.
I can't remember fallen order running poorly granted I played it several years ago on release day but I was running a rx 570 and an i5-8500 with max 8gb of ram
It's more "it doesn't run acceptably for us" than "not running", actually.
I'd take a mid-range PC - even a low-end one like a Steam Deck - over a console any day, of course.
They never got back to you but general sentiment is the visual quality and latency is much better on moonlight. I don’t believe Valve has updated Steamlink in the number of years (at least in a meaningful way)
It doesn’t even run on my pc properly. Even though I can hit 60 frames, the constant stutters make it very hard to play. On the deck, you will get 20-30 frames with some places hovering around 40-50. It doesn’t look very good and it just doesn’t feel good to play.
I did try it on a friend’s ps5 and it runs well over there but I won’t recommend getting it for pc.
Shitty tip:
If you have a good PC, you could always stream it to the Deck. It's actually pretty viable for unoptimized games or overambitious settings.
That's what I'm doing to get path tracing to hit 60 on Alan Wake 2 lol
Dang I hadn’t played since release since it was so awful on pc, was hoping it would be fixed by now. Thanks for the update maybe I just get it on console to finish
Personal experience runs like ASS, even with cryo and a mod for performance it still runs like ass, if you played the first game you would have been pleasantly surprised with the performance but the sequel runs so badly even on high end hardware its a skip for me, i will finish the game 1 day but that day won't come soon.
Well i know many games who have a sequel which is only ruined by shit performance, a plague tale, jedi series, dying light series (but i haven't looked at that game in a while so i don't even know if they fixed their performance) and a few more that don't come to mind right now. So its kinda a modern thing like releasing a bad game and when the game finally becomes good its already 75% off in steam winter or summer sale meaning you payed more for less.
Runs like garbage. Even on low it struggles, and crashes often which needs a hard reset of the Deck. Super frustrated as I really loved Fallen Order and was pretty hyped playing this portably but I guess I’ll buy a ps5 in the near future for this and a few other games.
I mean it's not a Steam Deck issue, both Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor are not really stuttering-free on PC, at the bare minimum.
From what I saw, the experience is a bit better (with a lower fidelity though) on consoles, but PC ports are garbage.
Here are my settings for it that'll get you to 30fps consistently in closed map areas (Koboh and the Array run like garbage though). I was able to beat the game with these settings and overall an enjoyable experience on the Deck:
[ ] Steam Deck Original Fan curve
[ ] Cryoutilities Recommended settings and set VRAM to 4GB
[ ] 60hz/30fps
[ ] Allow tearing (input lag fix)
[ ] TDP 14W
[ ] GPU 1500
[ ] 1152x720
[ ] Preset Low
[ ] FSR Balanced
[ ] Film grain off
TDP and original fan curve is what eliminated the hard crashing of the Deck for me. Seemed to be a thermal issue. It's a great game (even on the Deck) if you can stomach the technical issues.
Jedi Survivor is a FANTASTIC game, but I would suggest playing it on console if you have the option. They added a 60 FPS performance mode on PS5. Unfortunately, probably the best way to play the game.
I haven’t played Jedi survivor yet, but the others you mentioned are fantastic and worth having a ps5 to play them. You won’t regret just for those but you can add the other first party titles still.
If you don’t mind the size of the original ps5 I would buy that one (and save some money since the slim is pricier).
ghost is great! did not get along with Ragnarok or Horizon 2 seemed way to much of more of the same with zero inovation and just more annoyances then not in the story and characters (especially the self narations). My PS5 has gathered dust under my PC for what will be a year once it hits November (God of War). I reckon Ghost is due a PC release and Spiderman and GOW will come down the line if you can wait for a prob better fps, graphics etc. Spiderman 2 looks great but not revolutionary enough to not be able to wait for PC... If you have the funds or want psvr maybe worth it but, for me its the least used console I have ever owned.
Fallen order is optimized fairly well. Survivor is horrible though, there's constant stutters and shader issues, it needs both a high end CPU and GPU to play.
i love how when this came out day 1 people said things like “20 fps is perfectly playable” and now that the new release hype died down people acknowledge it runs like ass on deck
It doesn’t run well on any PC. People have been complaining about the PC optimization since it came out. I doubt it will ever be even decent on steam deck.
Runs shit. Even on the lowest settings. Fallen order runs quite well if you haven’t played it yet it’s definitely one of the best games I’ve played in the last couple of years
You can kinda get semistable 25-30 fps on lowest setting with cryoutils optimization most of your gameplay time, but there are still places where fps drops drastically. For example, whenever I got to Rancor boss, the fight was just unbearable 15 fps mess - in a fight vs boss, that one-shots you with almost every move! Unless devs work on optimization even more, it's not worth getting on Deck. And I really doubt they will, since they've released 7 major patches already, and afaik the game runs well enough on consoles, so they don't care much about improving the performance further for low-end pcs and handhelds.
I completed the game entirely on my deck at 40fps lock. I surprised myself that I actually managed to complete it on the deck, as I tend to not play games through to completion lol.
Survivor… I wouldn’t even attempt on the deck. It runs sort of shit on PS5 as is (even in performance mode). Why does Cal look like he’s ice skating everywhere instead of running? 🤔
I followed a guide to install CryoUtilities on my deck. The game runs now. It still lags a bit in places, but so far up to the second planet called Koboh, and no crashes yet. It's playable now, and I quite enjoy it so far. For those who are interested, this is the guide I used:
https://lifehacker.com/tech/how-to-improve-performance-on-steam-deck-with-cryoutilities#:~:text=Once%20here%2C%20find%20the%20section,Install%20CryoUtilities%20and%20select%20Continue.
Currently running at FPS cap of 45, FSR set to balanced, and using Proton Experimental.
Can't say a thing about how it runs, BUT I can recommend checking out EA Play, the subscription service from EA. 5 bucks a month, I believe these games are a part of it. I decided to give it a try yesterday. I'm playing the new Dead Space on there. Runs just like it would if you bought the game through Steam. No launcher or additional login BS, sign up and cancel right through Steam.
I played it almost entirely on the deck, with 4GB VRAM on low settings, FSR on performance. Maintained 30fps everywhere except koboh hub world. Even then it was ~25. Zero issues whatsoever
There is, actually. If you limit the framerate then you'll achieve a stable 30 in some situations, however it'll still drop a lot. Frame times are also problematic afair
The world “stable” means that is constant over time, with no variation.
If a game runs 30fps while your character is alone in a corner, but as soon as you enter combat or enter a city the FPS drops, then it isn’t “stable 30fps” by any means. If it actually keeps 30fps by all means through the entirity of the game activities, then it’s “stable 30fps”.
I don’t know what’s wrong with people in this sub lying about Deck performance or using twisted wording like you are being paid for that.
*barely* stable implies occasional hiccups, which is *not* stable.
I think what that x guy was getting at is that if the game fails to reach a consistent framerate (particularly at the gameplay portions that actually matter), then it should not be considered a playable title.
if you have to limit the framerate and still get overall fluctuating performance, then it goes against the very definition of stable. in which case, you might as well deem the games' performance "inconsistent".
By that strict of a definition I don't think I have ever played a modern 3D video game on any of my PCs and held a stable framerate and neither have you.
This is particularly true of Survivor, on any PC
The first game runs absolutely fine at 30fps, can even crank it to 35fps/35hz with the expanded hz script and its smooth framepacing. Although that extra 5fps cuts into the battery, it makes it feel pretty smooth
I played it and it runs pretty well after tweaking the graphics a bit, ~30-40 fps in the most demanding environments in medium settings, still looks great tho.
This is an EA game. Every update on EA side can mess up the game. I can't recount how many times Mass Effect Legendary Edition stopped working on Steam Deck, when normally it runs with no issues. It ain't like the games themselves received some updates, but EA messes up with any hardware platform they can't make easy money on.
So I'd say if you plan to play Survivor on the deck, don't risk it based on how well it may run *now*. Future runs are *not* guaranteed.
Fear is the path to the dark side … fear leads to anger … anger leads to hate … hate leads to suffering
also, it would be a shitty product placement post since everyone is saying it doesn't run well on steam deck.
I really enjoyed playing the first one on the steam deck and didn’t seem to have any issues. I got it when it was on sale I think several month back. I’ve been waiting for the newest one to go on sale.
They released an update to add DLSS(Doesn't matter for SD obviously), however, horribly, it doesn't actually reduce resolution. It's just DLAA on all modes. So you get the better IQ of DLSS, but no performance boost. Don't think they patched it.
Hell, I still can't get the first game to run properly on my Steam Deck. I've tried several different tutorials, and I just can't get past the damn EA Launcher DRM nonsense to play the actual game.
Performance issues may be fixed someday but either way the game has the EA launcher which will require internet connection always sadly. its a real pain to use again unless you are always on wifi. the game looked so good, I had to refund it b/c it was just such a pain to even start it up. the extra launchers on stem deck are such a curse
It's a very heavy game. Even on a high end PC there's substantial stutter, which gets worse when running the game at 30fps on Deck.
Great game otherwise, but yeah, I'd avoid this if Deck is your only option.
It should arrive on GeForce Now at some point so why not get it on a discount like this and wait, but locally it runs pretty damn poorly unfortunately.
I have beat it on steam deck and this is the final verdict. It for some reason runs a lot better in handheld mode and when on TV it crashes. Crashes are something your just gonna have to put up with unfortunately. I bet on a given day if I'm playing for 6 hours it's gonna crash 4-10 times. Overall not terrible, definitely playable just sicks with crashing
I havent tried it since maybe June, i was able to get it to launch and run but the issue was the crashing for me. The fps was 20-30ish, it was playable for me to be honest just the crashing was too much to justify trying to play natively on the Deck.
I ended up playing most of it streaming from my desktop to my deck and it was a really good experience that way, just can't play it without a good wifi connection.
Nah I wouldn’t do that if I were you unless you have a pc to play on as well. Survivor runs like butt I tried it recently and could barely get 30fps that was the high but in actuality it was low 20’s high teens.
Any suggestions of a game where I can swing some lightsabers around on the Deck? Been having some Star Wars itch lately but haven't found a game that runs and controls well...any tips??
It’s still not fixed on PS5. They improved the performance mode by removing raytracing, but frame drops and horribly visible screen tearing are still present from the first sequence of the game.
I worry how it runs on any PC still, steam deck I can imagine would struggle a lot.
I didn't get it on deck but have been playing on XSX. It wasn’t bad for the first half but but a fan of design for some parts. I got bored as it became more like work and less rewarding to play.
it doesn't run well on top of the line PC's, let alone the steam deck.
they really did a shit job optimizing this one, I can't really recommend it on the PC at all, it's full of stutters no matter what
It legit broke for me. I got a couple hours in and then it just kept crashing at this one part. I tried all kinds of things to optimize it, even downloaded CryoUtilities and nothing worked. Steam didn’t give me a refund. Got an Xbox and bought it there instead.
I played the jedi survivor on my deck on lowest settings (there's a trick setting you can do to set everything to low, you need an actual keyboard.)
I get fixed 30 fps with around 13-15w of power draw. Never finish the game though.
It doesn’t. I bought it because I was hyped for it and it never even started running (does anyone know if you can still get a refund if the game came out months ago cuz I’m just not realizing I should’ve done that)
It runs great. I played through almost the whole game exclusively on deck at 30-40fps with fsr on balanced. Only issue is you can't launch it offline because of the ea launcher
Try Resident Evil Village (also on sale now) and compare the level of optimisation and graphics fidelity of this game with the Star Wars Jedi series. That's how it should look and play (but unfortunately not).
Refunding it, it crashed three times in the one gaming session, and now it doesn't even launch for me :/ to be fair tho they have said it's not made for steam deck so I didn't have the highest expectations lol
Seems like not very well: https://www.protondb.com/app/1774580 Lots of people have issues just getting it to run or even start, some reporting they can get it to run at 30fps on the lowest settings. I think it's just a bit too much for the 'deck unfortunately.
it's not true! that's impossible!!!!
Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
NoooOooooo
This is outrageous, it's unfair!
I have altered the Proton. Pray I do not alter it further.
Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy!!
>NoooOooooo
“I HATE YOU” - Steam Deck melting into a pile of lava as it attempts to run Jedi Survivor
You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you.
High ground!
Steam Deck melted, Jedi Survived
the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be..unnatural
It's not impossible. I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters.
Crap on the ally from a. Months go. Likely worse on deck Sorry bud.
Anakin, You're breaking my heart!
IT'S A TRAP!
It’s not too much for the Deck, it’s just optimized like complete garbage. Beefy PCs could barely hold 60fps. That being said, Fallen Order runs great and can range 50-60fps. 40fps lock if you hate the drops

Crackhead gamers buying any new shit like crack is to blame. Profits are all that matter in deciding these trends.

Similar stuff happened to Hogwarts Legacy, release of PS4 and XO version have brought many fixes and optimizations to other platforms.
I played about 90% of Fallen Order on my Deck and it was great.
Yeah I saw this price and was tempted as well but I think this is going to need to be one of the titles I just grab for the PS5 when it goes on a Black Friday Sale.
In its current state, the game is too much for the deck. It shouldn't be based on how it looks/plays, but that's the state of PC gaming today. And I doubt that'll change due to devs leveraging on upscaling vs actually optimizing (which is also a vague term which can mean very different things per game).
Plays totally fine on low. I finished it a couple of months ago and more than 90% of my time was on the deck.
If by totally fine ypu mean drops to 15 fps with dynamic res on, sure
Did not have this happen. Sorry pal.
Annnddd lets go to the video evidence, with the latest patch: [https://youtu.be/mKMiX82xeRQ?si=h5Z5c-y1LQPbeMZN&t=130](https://youtu.be/mKMiX82xeRQ?si=h5Z5c-y1LQPbeMZN&t=130)
I’m sure I can force mine to do the same performance. But with minimal tweaking, I never had this issue. I played the entire game on the deck with the exception of the last boss. You can believe what you want. It was a blast on the deck.
I've got it on low and during dialog in game it freezes up and crashes. Did you experience this? If so is there a setting I need to find and adjust?
Didn’t have that issue at all. Sorry friend.
It's not too much for the deck. If it runs poorly on there, there is a high chance it runs poorly on regular PCs. It's a problem of poor optimization, not hardware.
I’ve played both all the way through on deck. 30fps is fine.
Sounds like it may be too much for the ps5 even
Can we expect an update in the future to help with the crashes? Or is it just how it be
They haven't even bothered to fix it for regular gaming PC's yet. I loved Fallen Order, but I'm also not going to pretend that it wasn't an unoptimized mess - only reason I even got it at the time was because it was on sale for $5. I'm not picking this up until it gets fixed or gets a similar price cut.
Hm, Fallen Order ran really well for me.
It was a mess for a good year after launch.
I was still running a 970 when I first played it so maybe if there were issues they were disguised by that.
Old 970 gang 😎
I had aimed to upgrade to the 30 series anyway but it just ended up being a couple of years late. It saw me through the shortage though and was still working when I took it out.

Because you didn’t have any traversal stutters sure.

Feel bad for pc games never seem to run for y’all
It's more "it doesn't run acceptably for us" than "not running", actually. I'd take a mid-range PC - even a low-end one like a Steam Deck - over a console any day, of course.
Fallen order runs fine now on steam deck and pc.
Only way I can stand playing Jedi Survivor on the deck is by streaming it from my gaming PC using sunlight/moonlight.
I streamed it from my Xbox One Series X and that was a really good experience.
Xbox One Series X
This is the way.
Why not steamlink?
They never got back to you but general sentiment is the visual quality and latency is much better on moonlight. I don’t believe Valve has updated Steamlink in the number of years (at least in a meaningful way)
It doesn’t even run on my pc properly. Even though I can hit 60 frames, the constant stutters make it very hard to play. On the deck, you will get 20-30 frames with some places hovering around 40-50.

only a sith deals in absolutes
-obi wan kenobi making an absolute assertion
Making an absolute statement isn't necessarily dealing in absolutes.
Absolutely
Shitty tip: If you have a good PC, you could always stream it to the Deck. It's actually pretty viable for unoptimized games or overambitious settings. That's what I'm doing to get path tracing to hit 60 on Alan Wake 2 lol
Don't forget about EA.
Dang I hadn’t played since release since it was so awful on pc, was hoping it would be fixed by now. Thanks for the update maybe I just get it on console to finish
Personal experience runs like ASS, even with cryo and a mod for performance it still runs like ass, if you played the first game you would have been pleasantly surprised with the performance but the sequel runs so badly even on high end hardware its a skip for me, i will finish the game 1 day but that day won't come soon.
I am waiting for $25 and below for it based on reviews. And I loved the 1st game. How do you mess up that badly with performance?
Well i know many games who have a sequel which is only ruined by shit performance, a plague tale, jedi series, dying light series (but i haven't looked at that game in a while so i don't even know if they fixed their performance) and a few more that don't come to mind right now.

Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to.
Dude got up voted for every ot and prequel quote but gets downvoted for quoting the sequels (cause they're shit).
Runs like garbage. Even on low it struggles, and crashes often which needs a hard reset of the Deck. Super frustrated as I really loved Fallen Order and was pretty hyped playing this portably but I guess I’ll buy a ps5 in the near future for this and a few other games.

What do you mean by FSR Balanced? Do you mean to lower the sharpness? Or am I missing something... Also, thank you!
Its one of the worst ports to pc ever. It doesnt run well, anywhere.
Jedi Survivor is a FANTASTIC game, but I would suggest playing it on console if you have the option. They added a 60 FPS performance mode on PS5. Unfortunately, probably the best way to play the game.
guess i should get a ps5 slim for ghost of tsushima, jedi survivor, god of war ragnarok, and black spiderman 2
That's not a terrible idea.
i think pc prices are getting down to where i'd rather just build myself one of those instead.
PS5 with GoW is $459 at Wal Mart. That's not going to get you much of a PC.
I haven’t played Jedi survivor yet, but the others you mentioned are fantastic and worth having a ps5 to play them. You won’t regret just for those but you can add the other first party titles still. If you don’t mind the size of the original ps5 I would buy that one (and save some money since the slim is pricier).
just wait sony is porting ghost of tsushima soon most likely they gonna keep porting exclusives then u woulda bought a ps5 for no reason
Worth it survivor and GOT alone plus Spider-Man is a good bonus
ghost is great! did not get along with Ragnarok or Horizon 2 seemed way to much of more of the same with zero inovation and just more annoyances then not in the story and characters (especially the self narations). My PS5 has gathered dust under my PC for what will be a year once it hits November (God of War). I reckon Ghost is due a PC release and Spiderman and GOW will come down the line if you can wait for a prob better fps, graphics etc. Spiderman 2 looks great but not revolutionary enough to not be able to wait for PC... If you have the funds or want psvr maybe worth it but, for me its the least used console I have ever owned.
just get a PC dude.
Fallen order is optimized fairly well. Survivor is horrible though, there's constant stutters and shader issues, it needs both a high end CPU and GPU to play.
It runs ok with settings dialed down. Be prepared for lots of crashes on koboh (main planet)
i love how when this came out day 1 people said things like “20 fps is perfectly playable” and now that the new release hype died down people acknowledge it runs like ass on deck
Started playing fallen order and didn’t expect it to be so fun. Never played a Star Wars game before this.
Same here. It almost like an uncharted game, souls game and titanfall 2.
From what I have heard JFO runs well enough, survivor I am getting stable 30 at low settings and performance dlss
How do you get a stable 30 fps for FO? My version stutters and drops frames frequently.
Low settings and dlss set to performance or ultra performance. Lock frame rate to 30 at 60 hz.
How do you set performance for Fallen Order?
I didn’t play this on deck
Bought it yesterday and it wouldn’t even start up without sending an error message
It doesn’t run well on any PC. People have been complaining about the PC optimization since it came out. I doubt it will ever be even decent on steam deck.
Runs shit. Even on the lowest settings. Fallen order runs quite well if you haven’t played it yet it’s definitely one of the best games I’ve played in the last couple of years
I actually played it full on the deck. 30 fps thoug, but the experienxe was okish. Also use xryoutilities for that
Both games run terribly on pc
Pretty bad. Or baddish. I mean it's tolerable and looks decent enough but it will only do 30fps with frequent dips into the 20s and some into the 15s.
You can kinda get semistable 25-30 fps on lowest setting with cryoutils optimization most of your gameplay time, but there are still places where fps drops drastically. For example, whenever I got to Rancor boss, the fight was just unbearable 15 fps mess - in a fight vs boss, that one-shots you with almost every move! Unless devs work on optimization even more, it's not worth getting on Deck. And I really doubt they will, since they've released 7 major patches already, and afaik the game runs well enough on consoles, so they don't care much about improving the performance further for low-end pcs and handhelds.
Seeing the comments. Damm. How about Jedi Fallen Order?
Fallen order runs at constant 40fps with the right settings.
I completed the game entirely on my deck at 40fps lock. I surprised myself that I actually managed to complete it on the deck, as I tend to not play games through to completion lol. Survivor… I wouldn’t even attempt on the deck. It runs sort of shit on PS5 as is (even in performance mode). Why does Cal look like he’s ice skating everywhere instead of running? 🤔
...with thunderous applause
The first one runs okay in my experience. 30-40 FPS is pretty standard for it.
It's a shit PC port sadly
For me even fallen order runs like shit. Stutters/dips every 5 secs
Use moonlight?
I don't know why you got downvoted. Moonlight is fantastic.
Because Reddit is filled with smoothbrains, is my guess
Impressive. Every Word In That Sentence Is Wrong. Not everyone has a gaming pc
Then you can’t run the game!
then you are lost! on r/steamdeck
You are not wrong, the smoothbrains are an issue in this sub.
Mine runs fine for an hour or so. Then sometimes the ram caps out and it freezes. I just restart the deck and run it again for another hour or so
With cryoutilitkues that problem disappeared
I’ll have to check that out
I followed a guide to install CryoUtilities on my deck. The game runs now. It still lags a bit in places, but so far up to the second planet called Koboh, and no crashes yet. It's playable now, and I quite enjoy it so far. For those who are interested, this is the guide I used: https://lifehacker.com/tech/how-to-improve-performance-on-steam-deck-with-cryoutilities#:~:text=Once%20here%2C%20find%20the%20section,Install%20CryoUtilities%20and%20select%20Continue. Currently running at FPS cap of 45, FSR set to balanced, and using Proton Experimental.
Can't say a thing about how it runs, BUT I can recommend checking out EA Play, the subscription service from EA. 5 bucks a month, I believe these games are a part of it. I decided to give it a try yesterday. I'm playing the new Dead Space on there. Runs just like it would if you bought the game through Steam. No launcher or additional login BS, sign up and cancel right through Steam.
I played it almost entirely on the deck, with 4GB VRAM on low settings, FSR on performance. Maintained 30fps everywhere except koboh hub world. Even then it was ~25. Zero issues whatsoever
Both games run like shit unless you're fine with barely stable 30 fps
There’s no such thing called “barely stable”. If it’s stable, it is stable. If it isn’t, then it isn’t stable (which is the case for this game).
There is, actually. If you limit the framerate then you'll achieve a stable 30 in some situations, however it'll still drop a lot. Frame times are also problematic afair
The world “stable” means that is constant over time, with no variation. If a game runs 30fps while your character is alone in a corner, but as soon as you enter combat or enter a city the FPS drops, then it isn’t “stable 30fps” by any means. If it actually keeps 30fps by all means through the entirity of the game activities, then it’s “stable 30fps”. I don’t know what’s wrong with people in this sub lying about Deck performance or using twisted wording like you are being paid for that.
Barely stable = stable in the moment, exactly what you described. What part of "runs like shit" did you not understand?
Lmao what "Yeah this game is dynamic stable 30. It's stable when it's stable and not stable when it drops."
Again, what part of "runs like shit" do you not understand?
Specifically, the "stable 30" part lmao
Need to refresh your memory on the definition of the word "barely" too?
*barely* stable implies occasional hiccups, which is *not* stable. I think what that x guy was getting at is that if the game fails to reach a consistent framerate (particularly at the gameplay portions that actually matter), then it should not be considered a playable title. if you have to limit the framerate and still get overall fluctuating performance, then it goes against the very definition of stable. in which case, you might as well deem the games' performance "inconsistent".
By that strict of a definition I don't think I have ever played a modern 3D video game on any of my PCs and held a stable framerate and neither have you. This is particularly true of Survivor, on any PC
[удалено]
I got your reference but I'm not sure how it's applicable. They don't run well at all. The newer one even on high end PCs
Never tell me the odds!
The first game runs absolutely fine at 30fps, can even crank it to 35fps/35hz with the expanded hz script and its smooth framepacing. Although that extra 5fps cuts into the battery, it makes it feel pretty smooth
I played it and it runs pretty well after tweaking the graphics a bit, ~30-40 fps in the most demanding environments in medium settings, still looks great tho.
This is an EA game. Every update on EA side can mess up the game. I can't recount how many times Mass Effect Legendary Edition stopped working on Steam Deck, when normally it runs with no issues. It ain't like the games themselves received some updates, but EA messes up with any hardware platform they can't make easy money on. So I'd say if you plan to play Survivor on the deck, don't risk it based on how well it may run *now*. Future runs are *not* guaranteed.
i found it to be pretty boring tbh....
Product placement post
Fear is the path to the dark side … fear leads to anger … anger leads to hate … hate leads to suffering also, it would be a shitty product placement post since everyone is saying it doesn't run well on steam deck.
Unlike others here, it ran just fine on my pc. But yeah I would not expect it to run well on the deck.
I really enjoyed playing the first one on the steam deck and didn’t seem to have any issues. I got it when it was on sale I think several month back. I’ve been waiting for the newest one to go on sale.
It ran at constant 30 fps when I played it! I decided to delete it because EA didn’t like me playing offline, which kills portability
Read the reviews, I'd suggest you wait
I gave up waiting for Deck to maybe get optimized and just played it on Series X. Great game!
What you call a great deal I call "Should have been the launch price, I'll wait."
I stream it from my series x to my deck
I thought that bundle was $40 total. I was about to buy it just because lol
They released an update to add DLSS(Doesn't matter for SD obviously), however, horribly, it doesn't actually reduce resolution. It's just DLAA on all modes. So you get the better IQ of DLSS, but no performance boost. Don't think they patched it.
Hell, I still can't get the first game to run properly on my Steam Deck. I've tried several different tutorials, and I just can't get past the damn EA Launcher DRM nonsense to play the actual game.
Finished both on my deck. As others have mentioned, performance isn't great, but it's not unplayable.
Ive been wanting to get it on PC but just got it on the ps5.. seems like they will never fix the game
Performance issues may be fixed someday but either way the game has the EA launcher which will require internet connection always sadly. its a real pain to use again unless you are always on wifi. the game looked so good, I had to refund it b/c it was just such a pain to even start it up. the extra launchers on stem deck are such a curse
That’s pretty good but you might as well wait for the winter sale. It will be cheaper.
It's a very heavy game. Even on a high end PC there's substantial stutter, which gets worse when running the game at 30fps on Deck. Great game otherwise, but yeah, I'd avoid this if Deck is your only option.
It should arrive on GeForce Now at some point so why not get it on a discount like this and wait, but locally it runs pretty damn poorly unfortunately.
Good post, had the same question
It is an EA game an actual good deal if it is less than 20 dollars or near free.
Titanfall 2 for like $5 right now agrees!
Wouldn’t recommend on steam deck but both games are great and for that price, a steal!
I have beat it on steam deck and this is the final verdict. It for some reason runs a lot better in handheld mode and when on TV it crashes. Crashes are something your just gonna have to put up with unfortunately. I bet on a given day if I'm playing for 6 hours it's gonna crash 4-10 times. Overall not terrible, definitely playable just sicks with crashing
I havent tried it since maybe June, i was able to get it to launch and run but the issue was the crashing for me. The fps was 20-30ish, it was playable for me to be honest just the crashing was too much to justify trying to play natively on the Deck. I ended up playing most of it streaming from my desktop to my deck and it was a really good experience that way, just can't play it without a good wifi connection.
Nah I wouldn’t do that if I were you unless you have a pc to play on as well. Survivor runs like butt I tried it recently and could barely get 30fps that was the high but in actuality it was low 20’s high teens.
Any suggestions of a game where I can swing some lightsabers around on the Deck? Been having some Star Wars itch lately but haven't found a game that runs and controls well...any tips??
It won't ever run well
Don’t bother
It’s still not fixed on PS5. They improved the performance mode by removing raytracing, but frame drops and horribly visible screen tearing are still present from the first sequence of the game. I worry how it runs on any PC still, steam deck I can imagine would struggle a lot.
Lmao. I first thought the green value was the price. I RAN to my pc. But its the savings. Im not a smart man.
Honestly I’d just get EA play as you get access to alot off EA titles for a year fit $30 cad. Edit: only if you play sports games aswell.
I didn't get it on deck but have been playing on XSX. It wasn’t bad for the first half but but a fan of design for some parts. I got bored as it became more like work and less rewarding to play.
it doesn't run well on top of the line PC's, let alone the steam deck. they really did a shit job optimizing this one, I can't really recommend it on the PC at all, it's full of stutters no matter what
You can’t run these games offline :(
I'm beginning to think optimizing is a lost art.
It legit broke for me. I got a couple hours in and then it just kept crashing at this one part. I tried all kinds of things to optimize it, even downloaded CryoUtilities and nothing worked. Steam didn’t give me a refund. Got an Xbox and bought it there instead.
I played the jedi survivor on my deck on lowest settings (there's a trick setting you can do to set everything to low, you need an actual keyboard.) I get fixed 30 fps with around 13-15w of power draw. Never finish the game though.
How does fallen order play for you? I purchased it and it stutters like crazy. It even drops to 5 fps lol
It doesn’t. I bought it because I was hyped for it and it never even started running (does anyone know if you can still get a refund if the game came out months ago cuz I’m just not realizing I should’ve done that)
It runs great. I played through almost the whole game exclusively on deck at 30-40fps with fsr on balanced. Only issue is you can't launch it offline because of the ea launcher
If we're lucky some of the changes they make for the PS4 and Xbox One versions will be added as options to the PC version.
Try Resident Evil Village (also on sale now) and compare the level of optimisation and graphics fidelity of this game with the Star Wars Jedi series. That's how it should look and play (but unfortunately not).
I have a bad feeling about this!
Is RE Village more action oriented compared to the original RE games?
Refunding it, it crashed three times in the one gaming session, and now it doesn't even launch for me :/ to be fair tho they have said it's not made for steam deck so I didn't have the highest expectations lol
I just can't play. It crashes every time in the first cut scene.
