I have a problem. I want to play games on my 4K Desktop, but when I go through my library my eyes have been landing games that make me think “This would be fun to play on my Steam Deck…” dammit!
One thing I did find interesting about launching Brutal Legend on Steam Deck was that it launched with Proton instead of the native Linux build. For the heck of it I launched the native build, and it seemed alright apart from teleporting NPC’s in a couple of cutscenes, and it was getting a nice solid 30FPS. Not bad I’d say, right? Then I replayed the first chapter again through Proton and there were no teleporting models AND the framerate doubled! Translating it from Direct3D 9 to Vulkan instead of using the native OpenGL build seems to give it a nice boost! Pretty interesting since I’ve played this before under regular Linux desktop, that was quite awhile ago though.
Maybe now I’ll actually finish this title! It supports cloud saves, that seems to be helping me in between devices.
