gamemoderun %command%
I've had one crash after the point of no return and occasionally minor framedrops in the Great Desert, but other than that, it runs great at 1440p (>100fps on ultra without FSR)
Stuttering and constant frame dips regardless of settings
Buy on sale.
Had a issue that was completely hardware oriented, once i fixed that the game worked as i would expect it to on windows.
Works as expected. I just choose the proton experimental since the game is new
Works without touching anything.
The edges of the screen will flicker sometimes, but it's extremely rare.
Flawless performance
Works perfectly with no tweaks, config changes, or launch parameters.
perfectly optimized game, runs very well
40 hours, zero issues. It's very well polished and also a very good and entertaining game.
Played from beginning to end with no major issues or crashing. Very little configuration.
SteamDeck=0 %command%
Minor slowdowns on occasion when in the pause menu.
All graphics setting maxxed out at 4K with FSR3 Quality. Graphics card is RX 9070 (non XT).
gamemoderun mangohud PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%
Used a modifeid engine.ini mod
on gnome, HDR works with the latest proton. Ps5 controller works runs smooth as hell.
gamemoderun %command%
On my system, there were rare, short-term freezes of the game, they happened after ~3-4 hours of play, and then there were none, so I recommend trying to play
Runs perfectly without any tinkering
No commands, drivers, software, scripts or anything else required to enjoy the game. Everything works flawlessly without any issues at all.
SteamDeck=0 %command%
The game runs perfectly. Just if using the following launch options: "SteamDeck=0 %command%" as stated by other users, it will allow you to turn to medium quality graphics without noticeable performance issues.
Playing with wired xbox controller, everything is working as expected. Averaging ~140fps with my hardware at 5120x1440 very high settings. No noticable performance drops or issues with the opening scenes and first open explorable area.

Game runs perfectly out of the box with great performance. All launch options I use are purely optional.
No. Performance is otherwise excellent and the game is very enjoyable up until the progression-blocking crash detailed above, which makes it
This crash leads to a secondary problem: I cannot load any save file created after that point.
To confirm this, I used a different PC (with a non-Arc GPU) to play past the tunnel where my system crashes. After creating a save at the "Crater" waypoint and moving it back to my Arc PC, the game now freezes and crashes on the loading screen when I try to load that save.
On my Intel Arc A770, I'm experiencing a consistent and reproducible crash at a specific point.
The crash always occurs in the "Construction Zone." After I raise the water level, I enter the final tunnel that leads to the "Crater" waypoint. My game completely freezes in the middle of this tunnel and then crashes to desktop.
i didn't have any problem running the game and even installed a few mods
My GPU has 8GB vram and there have been soo many games including this one that have oversubscribtion problem.
gamemoderun mangohud %command%
Unplayable stutter after 30 minutes of playtime at medium graphics, DLSS, and 1080p caused by vram oversubscribtion.
Would not recommend unless you have an AMD GPU or vram bigger than 12GB. Otherwise just go back to Windows.
The game plays excellently, with framerates in the 30 to 60fps range. When it's running well, it's truly stunning.
SteamDeck=0 gamemoderun %command%
Running the game stock locks various settings and enables the Steam Deck preset, which prevents raising texture quality.
SteamDeck=0 will unlock the settings menu and allow you to change texture quality. I've found using Medium for Environment Textures and High for Character Textures has negligible impact on performance, so I recommend that.
Troubleshooting was needed to get the full game to launch in Gaming Mode on SteamOS consistently for unknown reasons. The demo had no such issue on the same hardware.
The defaults would result in the game hanging on a black screen at startup when in Gaming Mode around 90% of the time. Booting the game in Desktop Mode would work consistently, but is obviously suboptimal on the Steam Deck.
Switching to GE-Proton10-4 and setting the launch command "gamemoderun" appears to have solved the issue. But, as with all games with Denuvo, be careful not to switch proton versions too much or you will use up your 5 daily activations.
I am opting not to factor this problem into my rating, as the problem may have something to do with SteamOS's gaming mode specifically, since launching on the Desktop is fine.
Perfect!
Runs out of the box without any tinkering.
This is an Overwhelmingly Positive game on Steam and it deserves this rating. SHIFT UP did a remarkable job optimizing for Steam Deck.
SteamDeck=0 %command%
The audio through the steam deck speakers crackles and pops, but no issues with headphones.
A quick word of warning for Deck users. Avoid tinkering with proton versions as Denuvo (anti-cheat) will detect as new installs/tinkering and lock you out. I was locked out for 24 hours after trying three different proton versions, trying to fix the crackling audio.
gamemoderun %command%
Work perfect, no need to tinker. The save from the demo imports with problems
The game generally performs well apart from the VRAM issue after a longer play session and the Dualsense specific features not working.
mangohud gamemoderun %command%
When using a Dualsense controller, when disabling steam input, haptics nor adaptive triggers work
After playing the game for an extended period of time, VRAM usage keeps slowly increasing. Simple fix is quitting to main menu and reloading the game
Run Great on Debian
Run great on Debian and nvidia 3080RTX without any problem. I also login to the PSN on another device and Login bonus transfered to the other device (linux)
A lot of stuttering when using the same Graphical settings as in demo. Got better when I switched from High to Medium. However, stuttering still occured on my way to the Archive.
SteamDeck=0 %command%
Hair looks bad
The launch command lets me to increase some settings, running at about 35 fps. Some drops
Worked perfectly on first launch without any modifications.
Got around 60 fps on high
Fantastic and very playable. I can play at Med-High settings of this game at 1440p at a stable 60~90fps despite my aging hardware.

gamemoderun mangohud %command%
DualSense haptics dont work, adaptive triggers worked just fine.
The game crashes sometimes, I'm sure this will be fixed with a later release
I really tried to get haptics to work, have spent over 5d changing prefixes and trying to patch wine myself to no avail (im not really experienced with reverse engineering)
it works out of the box, but be careful cuz denuvo can block you for 24h for testing differents versions of proton
10/10
When the game "launches" it gives an error saying: "Sorry, something went wrong. For solutions please visit: https://support.cod..."
