The title basically. I got the RE4 remake and it runs fine for the most part, but only on the lowest settings and dips at times, especially when using scoped weapons.
I think if a game is to be “verified” it would be great to know how to best enjoy the game so I don’t have to experiment with settings for 20 minutes before actually playing a game. Cause otherwise I feel like most verified titles should just be tagged playable.
Only game I’ve seen do something like this is Cyberpunk. That game has a steam deck preset which sets all of the settings up, which made it so much more enjoyable to know I was getting a great blend of quality and performance
This is actually a requirement already. To be verified it must have “good” default settings. This means it must run “acceptably” out of the box without configuration. However different people have a different perception versions of what acceptable is. They could say it must have optimal settings - but again what you consider optimal won’t align with what the developer or others consider optimal.
For example IMHO the cyberpunk steam deck preset was rubbish - so it’s basically impossible to get the right balance.
I agree with this as a lower skilled user without experience in PC gaming is unlikely to find tweaking all of the settings of every games they play to get them best experience fun.
