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.

    Starfield is kind of bad. Terrible story, constant loading screens, barren worlds, the list goes on. Not really worth going to the hassle of getting it working on Steam Deck in my opinion.

      To add to this, I played Starfield on my desktop at 4K60fps mostly stable framerates aside a couple stutters on new atlantis and aquila city.

      Mostly the game is average (6/10 imo) and doesn’t to anything better than other bethesda games from the last 10 years or so, but with the caveat that there’s barely any mods that do much yet (creator kit for starfield is not out yet), so you won’t see much aside some UI, texture and clothes changes, and don’t get me wrong, there’s a bunch of UI issues that are terrible on the base game, but overall the game experience doesn’t change.

      Honestly the only thing I felt refreshing from starfield compared to other bethesda games are ship related activities, but the main problem with that is that it’s super limited in scope, which is unsurprising considering it’s the first time they’ve done ships, but aside that, quests, story, NPCs, etc, are pretty much just a shuffle from their other games, so if you want another new bethesda game that is similar to old ones, starfield will be ok, if you want a next gen game from bethesda, this aint it.

      Once creator kit for it is available (looks like somewhen 2024) and modders begin pumping out shit this will probably change a lot and the game will become way more popular, but I wouldn’t spend much effort tweaking my steamdeck for it, there’s a lot of better games out there honestly.
