Don't use Proton Experimental for Baldur's Gate 3 (anymore)

Don't use Proton Experimental for Baldur's Gate 3 (anymore) - Lemmy.ca

It causes a bunch of weird controller errors, such as when a controller disconnects (or if the deck goes to sleep), it can’t reconnect again. Just let it use the default version (which I believe should be Proton Hotfix, or whatever Valve decides it should be since BG3 is an AAA headliner, they’ll want this to work)

How is the game on steamdeck otherwise? I’m debating if I should do what I never ever do and buy a game at full price…

All reports I’ve read say it works great on the steam deck. And if there’s one dev you should support by buying a game full price, it’s definitely a dev that doesn’t have shitty microtransactions

The game is fun, but I would definitely not say that it runs great. It’s runs at a bare minimum 30fps with low/medium settings and dips below 30. The FSR implementation is awful and basically unusable - it blurs your character beyond recognition. I have to use the Deck’s frame limiter and FSR to get it to run decently. The game is not well optimized.

But as I said, the game is cool. Worth a play if you like rpgs.

To be fair, it’s not the type of game that requires high framerates to play.

I mean, it’s not a visual novel. It has action, cutscenes. I’d say 30fps is bare minimum for me.
