Frame Rate is just too low to enjoy.
Performs really bad.
Audio asynch when force pausing as game has no native pause function. Solution: don't force-pause the game
Not native, Runs excellently with Proton tho. Games great in general. Performance wos good, played at 4K60.
This game is still listed here as "Linux native" in ProtonDB. It is NOT. It's Windows and Mac only and that's how it is marked in Steam.
Unfortunately the game is started from Steam with "Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout)" by default, at least when running on Ubuntu. This prevents even starting, making a bad first impression. If they would have set any recent Proton instead, you would not even notice it's a Windows game, giving a full platinum rating.
Beware, that the scenery is quite complex and the graphics is demanding, especially with higher than FHD settings.
The configuration menu does offer an "automatic" mode that sets the visuals properly for your given hardware. Thus this IS playable with reasonable frame rates even on older hardware as long as you really meet the noted minimal requirement and still get a pleasant and immersing environment.
To be able to crank all settings to "epic" on a 4K monitor is just the reason why you did buy those expensive high-end graphics card...
I currently get ~60FPS with the current hardware in 1440p with all features set to maximum.
The first time that the game runs, it processes vulcan shaders, then dies after a few seconds. Launching again results in a crash report.
After closing the crash report, my memory usage slowly goes up until I run out, then the game actually crashes.
It's possible that I need more RAM. I have 16 GB, which is supposed to be the minimum but I run out of memory a while after the crash.
This game is marked as "LINUX native" - which it is NOT. It might run on "Steam OS" which is a special kind of Linux just for and from Steam and meant for special hardware, like a PS5.
As long as there is no NATIVE Linux version, one that is meant to run on any average Linux, it should not be marked as such.
Initially the game did not start up and was ended after 3 seconds of doing "nothing". it seems as if the default compatibility setting is "Steam Linux Runtime 1.0". That did not work out. I switched to "Proton Experimental" and things went fine.
Don't know if I'm missing something. The game is silent during start up and in the menu, but in-game music and sound is fine, so this may be by design.
Some quest´s text (too small)
Playable in Low-Mid graphic settings, gets about 22-28 FPS, lowering 3D Resolution to 80-90% gets 3-4 additional FPS
Towers of Aghasba (early access) is playable on Steam Deck with Mid-Low settings (without changing anything else), but can get some more FPS (around 3-4) if lower the 3D Resolution value to 80-90%. In some areas like near lakes or viewing far mountains, the FPS drops 5-6 less
Tested with GE proton version 9-16
-- Low settings: 22-27 FPS (3D res 80-90%: 25-31 FPS) -- Mid settings: 22-24 FPS (3D res 80-90%: 24-30 FPS) -- High settings: 15-17 FPS (3D res 80-90%: 19-22 FPS) -- Epic settings: 10-12 FPS (3D res 80-90%: 17-20 FPS) --
