Crackling when using the default audio driver. Switch to DirectSound (ingame) to fix it.
The game runs flawlessly. If you experience audio crackling, try to change the audio driver from the in-game options.
The native build works perfectly as is. There is minor stuttering during the first battle (each session), but after that it's smooth sailing.
Default text is small, but there is an option to increase the text size.
Works out of the box without problems. The fan spins like crazy in some areas, but there are no problems with the game itself.
The game works as expected, I played the full game including the DLCs. It also plays decently well when using a custom controller scheme. Be sure to not force close the game, so Origin can sync the saves on the cloud.
I had a few quirks at the beginning:
- To install Origin when opening Dragon Age 2 via Steam, I had to do it in Desktop mode. Also, when installing Origin via Steam, untick all boxes (except for the mandatory ones).
- The fist time Origin recognized the game as "Unathorized", but all the following times the game launched fine.
- Could not import the Dragon Age Origins save, even when putting them in the Dragon Age 2 prefix. I had to import the save via Windows (luckily Origin has cloud saves, so the saves are transferred automatically across devices).
50 fps, 8 watts, 900mhz gpu clock
Default text is a bit small, but there is an option to increase the size.
The Steam Deck is not detected as a controller, so you have to use a custom mouse/keyboard configuration to play.
The game plays perfectly, as long as you use a custom controller config (gamepad as mouse/keyboard). The game performs well.
Forced the game resolution to 1280x720 (only for scaling reasons, not necessary)
The game works fine, no problems at all. I just forced the resolution to 1280x720 but that should not be necessary.
Installing MoguriMod (8.3) requires some tinkering, I recommend following the video posted by Aru. Additionally, I had to manually delete the file \steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX\MoguriFiles\StreamingAssets\ma\mbg116.bytes, otherwise the game would crash after one of the final cutscenes (known MogurMod bug).
Rarely the sound would crackle briefly, it always happened when sudden spikes in frametime were detected.
In general it works pretty much as expected after installing MoguriMod (8.3), I recommend following the video posted by Aru to install the mod on the Steam Deck.
I had to delete the file mbg116.bytes, as the game crashes towards the end otherwise, as explained in: https://sites.google.com/view/moguri-mod/support.
Game runs fine as is, there is some audio crackling sometimes. Limit the FPS or change the TDP to increase the battery life.
Used the left stick as the mouse, bound A to left click and X to spacebar.
In some scenes there are some FPS drops (when zooming and when hovering over icons).
The game works very well as is.
Game runs fine as is. Limit the FPS or change the TDP to increase the battery life.
Aside from starting with the wrong resolution, the game works flawlessly on the Steam Deck.
It plays wonderfully on the Deck. It uses a lot of battery, so limit the FPS or change the TDP to increase the battery life.
The game runs perfectly as is, no need for tinkering or anything else. The game runs at 60 FPS.
Modified the layout to suit my tastes
The game runs as expected once you (1) change or customized the layout and (2) switch to Proton GE.
The game runs perfectly as is. The port was optimized for the Steam Deck so the battery life is great without tinkering.
SenPatcher applied
Runs pretty well with SenPatcher applied.
