Seems fine for what I played. I didn't play extensively, only the early "Off With It's Head" quest.. or the Hydra caravan escort mission.
Vibration seemed to excessively rumble, so disabled that.
Re-installed it on Deck and I'm able to play seemingly without issue? Maybe SteamOS 3.3 fixed it? To preface this, a few weeks ago Dragon's Dogma would install and start, but the loading screen would just loop and never get into the game.
SteamOS 3.3 fixed the Xbox login issue I had with my "Double NAT" Google Nest/Wifi router and State of Decay 2.
Not sure if Dragon's Dogma had a related issue, because I was able to load a game cleanly last night and today (online was enabled within Dragon's Dogma for the pawn). The escort mission I finished went fine, but It was mostly dark, I didn't notice any graphical issues.
It seemed to have worked in Proton Experimental, but I just finished an early mission without compatibility (default) and worked fine. These are Valve's notes under Game info if interested: "Runs on this computer via Steam Play. 7.0-3 selected by Valve testing."
As the previous person stated, probably wise to lower the wattage to single digits. I'm currently running 8, but I'm sure 7 is just as safe. Game runs perfectly fine.
I changed the trackpads for mouse controls with the Back Grip Buttons as hotkeys for Build Menu, Buddy Grammi Editor, Edit Mode and Dismantle Mode.
Changed it to 8 watts.
The game was accidentally built for Steam Deck. While it notes gamepad is not supported, there is native gamepad support and it works great. It might take a little bit to figure out what does what, but it's very fun to play. Menus can be a bit sluggish nagivating with the right-stick, but that's where the mouse (PC) and trackpad (Steam Deck) comes in.
On PC I tend to play the game (combat, craft, explore, etc) with native gamepad support. When I have to do anything that involves menus (Build Menu, Buddy Grammi Editor, etc), I use keyboard and mouse for ease of use. With Steam Deck, remap the trackpads and back grip buttons to your keyboard and mouse. It's stupidly simple and Steam Deck might be the best way to play this game.
