I love it. It is the best purchase decision I made in years. I am lazy - I prefer to play on Steam Deck than on my gaming laptop.

However, yesterday I tried to play Remnant 2 on Steam Deck. I was not expecting fireworks, but at least decent 30fps. IMO Game is unplayable on SD. Barely reaches 30fps. Fan spins like crazy. It works great on my laptop.

I can't wait for a Steam Deck hardware refresh.

Nice! How easy was it getting D4 running?

I have been looking in the steam store hoping it would show up since a lot of other Blizzard games are. Steam makes running games on Linux very easy, what did you do to run it, add battlenet as non steam game?

[–] mavedustaine@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I’ll find you the guide I used, but in essence yes, you add battle.net as a non steam game. I think there’s a better method than the one I used where you can even have the games separately be added as non steam games as well instead of just the launcher

My only issue with Proton are crash and rendering issues related to ray tracing on certain games (probably Nvidia's fault). Also, Halo master chief collection crash after a few minutes gameplay, but that's might have something to do with the game being made by Microsoft. Other than that, it's perfect. Even DLSS is working fine too.

Man thats great. Im not a devoted player but from time to time I just buy a game to have some fun. Last ones were Hellblade and Witcher 3. Also In thinkng of starting a new build from scratch so I might just jump into Linux and leave Windows behind for good. What is the ideal Linux flavour for gaming? Ubuntu? Mint? Whats it like with gpu drivers and what not?

how’s it run overall?

[–] arefx@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Diablo 4 runs well 60-40fps in the open world 60fps in dungeons on a mix of low/med settings. I play it at 50fps cap for smoother pacing and it's a great experience.

Cool. I recommend Nobara, its a gaming/content creation oriented distro that works well out of the box.

If it weren't for how good the offering is on Gamepass I would just play on Linux.
