TDP max 3w, 40 fps cap, and 40hz refresh rate.
I did not need to do the battery life tweaks, just min maxing.
Used FSR and rendered at 600p. FSR will not work unless a resolution lower than 1280x800p, is a 16:10 aspect ratio, and windowed mode is on. Graphics are set to medium.
Right on dpad is bound to hide hud, yet right on dpad is also used to menu select which will also hide the hud when selecting to the right.
Had an odd issue where keybind mappings would change randomly. and when i say randomly i mean randomly buttons would just do random actions (example, Button A would shoot then 10 seconds later would crouch).
It really came down to the infrequent button mapping issues that made multiplayer difficult.
For some reason the Devine Insiration upgrades menu slashes FPS in half. 20-30 fps Frametimes all over the place.
I played this game using a Steam Dock on a TV rendered at 1080p
Text is a bit smaller than i would like, not too small though.
crackling at somepoints in the game
Tried 2 GE proton versions as noted. Don't have time to troubleshoot this. Will update if i ever get it to work
Changes to improve the battery performance were completely optional. I only did this out of preference.
Game does not support Steam Deck Native resolution.
Would randomly get disconnected from the game servers. Occured about 3 times over about 4 hours of play time.
EGS social Panel
in the past I would occationaly experience a server disconnected message and have to find a new game.
Before the most recent update to the game i used GE-Proton7-26. The game would no longer launch with the current game version so I updated to GE-Proton7-29 and the game now launches and works as intended.
I do not have a windows save as i first played this game on my steam deck, Can't test what others have said below regarding save files.
Used to play this on an arcade and it plays the same with no degredation of the expirence.
Used FSR to render at lower resolution. Also put in a frame cap (both are optional and battery life is acceptable regardless)
FSR (720p to 1080p) is not done well in Tales of Arise , however I can get over it.
Steam deck default handheld controls are quite odd and not intuitive. Just switched to a Xbox controller since touchpad controls were used as a dpad for menu navigation. Im also using a Steam Dock
If you are using an external display like me, just remember to set the game the game resolution to native in properties to allow 1080p resolution in-game. (this is the case for all games or they will only go up to 720p for me unless I do this)
z-fighting in some textures, not too common.
Steam cloud did not fetch save. I dont know if the game supports steam cloud saving.
not working when used via Heroic launcher as far as i can tell.
