S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Steam Deck Gameplay | Launch Day

[@Disasterpeach]

Thanks for posting. This is my personal goty. I was wondering how this was going to run. Do you have any overclocks or special settings like decky loader power tools? I got the cryobytes recommended setting on mine. I'll have to wait til i get home to mess around with the game.

In the video I'm using stock Settings without overclocks or cryo. wanted to show how it runs out of the box. The game is very demanding, so using external tools can help with the performance at least a bit. Also gamepad is broken for me. I hope they will release some patches to improve performance and make some fixes.

@@DeckPower I'm sure they will after a few patches. Thanks for the reply.

Yeah UE5 and Steam Deck hate one another

[@EstivenQuevedo-f9l]

How can u even play this at this fps😭

[@DeckPower]

its not a fun experience.. hopefully some patches will improve performance

[@kttryhntr]

u rly need to lower res to get 30 stable

[@aaronvasseur6559]

It’s a ue5 game it’s not gonna run on the outdated steam deck hardware valve will have to release the steam deck 2 or a pro model to get these games working

[@DeckPower]

its also up to the developer to optimize games. there are a bunch of ue5 games that have decent framerates. we will have to wait at least 1-2 years for deck 2 I reckon

[@bigjoe7051]

Steam deck is not outdated but optimisation is dead, most new game have extreme trouble running on anything because of how poorly they are optimised

[@truthtruth9056]

​@@bigjoe7051so true, remember how the hogwarts legacy a newer gen game that cameout on ps4 ps5 and it was still optimized on nintendo switch, and steam deck ha way more powerful specs.
