Valve's compatibility rating for Steam Deck doesn't even try to be accurate anymore... Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't run well on the Steam Deck, it's okay... you can't support every devices but be honest!

If a game hypes a lot of people up, it will be verified. That’s like, the most important factor… not even the performance, the controls, etc…
As seen in the title, Baldur’s Gate 3 is the perfect example of this: running at 20FPS with constant dips and my Steam Deck on the verge of exploding isn’t what I call “a game flawlessly running on the Steam Deck…”
Just try to be honest guys, it’s okay if the game is badly rated for compatibility with the Steam Deck, it’s not a big deal if it’s too demanding to run on the handled.
But DON’T BE MISLEADING…
Thanks :))
EDIT: Not tested on the most recent major update. The big one with many changes to the flow of the game.
You're viewing a single thread.
I've been playing it fine on the steam deck. 30fps and looks good enough. Make sure you have fsr on.
Yeah same here, on act 2 and so far it's been perfectly fine for me. Occasional dips below 30fps but nothing unplayable.
Not to mention the community controls are great. Larin did a fantastic job adapting the game to a controller, but I much prefer the flexibility of keyboard and mouse and the Deck's input options are fantastic.
This is misleading. Having played the game with optimised settings and FSR, it does look good but no matter the settings, there are countless dips, without any interruptions.
What you wanted to say is… the game runs at 30FPS as long as your are not outside. The game is so unstable that saying 30FPS is kinda false actually.
Nah it runs at 30 anywhere for me. Maybe it dips occasionally but it's mostly 30fps.
I don't even think my settings are good. I should be able to get it to look better and still run at 30fps. I turned off my frame cap and I'm getting 37 fps outside.
My presets are pretty much everything on medium and fsr off
Well! Give them to me because if it works, what a blessing!
To be fair, BG3 just runs like crap. I'm playing it mostly on a decent PC, there were some dips in act 1 and 2, but act 3 has a lot more dips.
Still a great game, and the city maps in act 3 are pretty packed, but the frametime consistency is pretty poor.And Vulkan was even worse, slighly lower avg FPS, same inconsistency and graphic glitches (random flickering black or white squares).
I see the "verified" badge more as a "no need to fiddle to get the game running" not a "you get locked 30fps with decent graphics" guarantee.
Always subjective what "runs well", someone might be accustomed to 4k@144hz while someone else is used to "cinematic" 30fps.
Both will notice the unstable 30fps, but the latter wont mind, just like most players didn't mind with Zelda TotK.
