Rules:
Does anyone else have Halls of Tournament regularly crash on their steam deck normally when they’ve got about five minutes or less in a run? It’s like 30-50% of the time for me.
I love the game but the crashing (and loss of progress) sucks. I need to pick up Vampire Survivors since I know it’s similar and look fun.
Try Performance Mode in HoT's settings. My first time I made it to 30 minutes, my game crashed. I turned on Performance Mode, and it's been running just fine ever since. With the retro PC game vibe they're going for, Performance Mode arguably adds to the experience!
That said, your game crashes when you're five minutes into a run? I did hear that the game can have crashing issues on Steam Deck, but that's a little extreme. Not sure if Performance Mode will fix that.
I left out an important word “left”, as in I get 25-30min into a run and it crashes. I’ll try performance mode!
I sent in logs of my crash to the devs back when it happened.
I probably contribute like half the hours Fallout 4 is getting, once you go through the pain of getting modding working how you want, it's so easy to sink another hundred or so hours into it.
Lil Steamie Decky is hauling ass with 200 plugins just fine (assuming you don't mind cranking everything to low settings, but you won't notice it much on that display)
How is elden ring's performance on steam deck?
Medium graphic settings solid 30fps, or not that stable 40fps with sime settings turned down.
It was my mist played game on the deck befor baldurs gate 3
I'm impressed that Cyberpunk is in the top 10 considering how much flack that game caught.
People spent 8 years molding their personality around that game. Even when it tried to kill people it couldn't kill the hype.
I've been toying with the idea of getting one of these but I like strategy games like HOI4, factorio, rimworld. Anyone have any experience with them on the Deck?
They all work great! Favtorio is the hardest one to wrap your head around but controller support is very good if you want it.
I even play a ton of Dwarf Fortress on it all the time with zero control issues.
I played a ton of EU4 and it did just fine, didn't hit 60fps but really don't need that kind of performance on a map game. back buttons for hotkeys/zooming in/out. Left trackpad set up as a touch to swap between different map types. Can always dock to a monitor with mouse/keyboard or just pair a bluetooth mouse. :)
Thanks for the insight!
This reminds me of the gabe newell ai video with the steam deck
