@gamingonlinux gettin' my deck this week or the next one, wondering if anyone played elden ring on it, how does it fare given that the pc version has been a mess for the longer part of its existence
@epsilonoclon
@gamingonlinux I never played it, but after elden ring came out the SteamDeck was thought of as the definitive way to play, as it fixed the stutter issues I think, something to do with the shader cache iirc
