Steam Deck6 Reports
the game crashes if i change the 3d api or set another resolution my fix was set the d3d api in "/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/userdata/45912693/257420/local/Serious Sam 4/UserCfg.lua" replace the contents with gfx_strAPI = "D3D11" sfx_strAPI = "OpenAL";
--then in game graphic settings you can now change the resolution to 1152x720 or 1024x576 --in performance change cpu gpu and memory to lowest --set fps in steam menu(...) to 50 fps, 10w tdp and gpu clock to 800 and activate fsr or nis the game runs smooth, you can get 60 fps if you increase tdp, gpu clock and fps
TDP 10w, GPU clock 800
Croteam goofed it with this game. Runs poorly on 4060 with i7 desktop unit; Runs worse on Steam Deck.
FPS drops of up to 15 frames.
FPS capped at 45. Even with bad graphics, this poor game still stutters.
I tried everything from going with the originally used Verrified Proton Version and the newerst GE. I even went and tried to force DX12 but it outright crashes. The game can be playable but due to the wrong resolution, wrong graphics settings and potentially more, this game is utterly broken and slow. It was once playable but not anymore since I can not get above 30 stablely.
This game barely runs on the Deck. I didn't stumble into significant glitches but I also didn't test for very long, given the game's state.
Proton Experimental
I let the game scan the system hardware to find baseline graphics options. I did not do further tinkering.
The game seems barely able to maintain 15fps let alone 30.
I have no idea why this is verified on Deck.
It doesn't seem possible to get stable 30 FPS performance with this game on Steam Deck in my testing.
The opening cutscene is very choppy and audio cuts in and out repeatedly, so half the dialogue is unintelligible.
Terrible performance on the recommended Medium/Medium/Low graphics settings - sub-30 FPS from the very beginning. And dropping all the settings to Low doesn't help much.
Gives error "The application has malfunctioned and it will now close". Verified game integrity and tried Proton experimental with same error
