I tweaked the base Display settings from Ultra Performance FSR2 profile to just Performance and turned on v-Sync, and set the Advanced Display settings to Low across the board, with Medium Texture / Medium Anti-Aliasing and Medium Visual Effects, and I generally saw between 30-40 fps, however there was the occasional dip to 20 or so for a second here or there.
For those looking to get a steady 60fps it might be a little too much compromise from the Steam Deck, but being more of a story game I was fine with the 30-40 fps I was getting, unlike other games like Forza where that is really noticable, other than a few dips to 20fps every now and then, you dont notice the variance in the gameplay.
After you get through the section and into the Building, you will get access to a map and access to messages, if you play this on the deck with FSR2 set to Ultra Performance, or even Performance mode its almost impossible to read. Switched to Balanced or better and its fine.
Now with just under 4hrs in, I'm still enjoying the game and its definitely playable on the Deck, as mentioned in the earlier report, generally now with it set to Low and FSR2 of Balanced, I'm generally getting mid 30 fps, but there's still occasional dips into the 20s every now and then.
Most of the time its not that noticable, and even when it is, its only for 2-4 seconds and then its back. Luckily even with the framerate pinging around the 30's (GPU bound, as CPUs regularily at 50%) it still runs well.
Tried GE7-53 and the latest Proton and Proton Experimental, all will start, pass through Ubisoft Connect and Sync Trials Rising saves and trophies but then still goes to the black screen.
If you can make a few settings to use DX11, the game runs well and single player is great
Created the config file is located at: ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1462810/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/WRC10/UserSettings.cfg
Value to set: Engine.Device.DirectXVersion = 11;
Had to modify graphical as textures on Window in 'in-car' view was blocky, or switch to alternate view
Thanks to MotorHead for the tip to tweak
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xinput1_3=n,b" %command%
Trying the tricks listed below I found the following;
- Straight Install using GE8-11, Proton Experimental or Proton 8.0-3 without the command it crashes on start, no screens
- When using the Launch Command "WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xinput1_3=n,b" %command%" it will launch get past the launch screen but just before the menu it restarts the steamdeck
- Tried the command, using GE8-11 and the BETA developer channel as recommended by Cuppaccino below but that also restarts the steam deck after the NAICON screen, before the menu.
