(I'm still in chapter one)
I love CRPGs and I remember being pretty bummed out to hear that Warhammer 40k : Rogue Trader ran pretty bad on the Steam Deck at release.
I bought it last week, planning to play it on my laptop for a better experience. And thought I might as well try it on the OLED to make sure myself that it runs okay.
I have to admit I was pretty surprised at how well it ran. I was expecting sub 30 FPS with heavy upscaling. They do have a steam deck graphic preset, but I found it too choppy. Here are my recommended settings for quality 30 fps and FSR turned off :
- Resolution : 1200:800
- Volumetric ligting quality : low
- Particle systems lighting : off
- Particle systems shadows off
- Shadow quality : medium
- Texture : High
- Depth of field : off
- Bloom off
- SSR : off
- HBAO : off
- Film grain : off
- Antialiasing mode : SMAA
- Antialiasing quality : high
- Footprints off
- Crowd density : Sparse
On the OLED you get 2 hours of battery life with these settings at full brightness with a solid consistent 30 fps so far. I haven't seen any dips but the game is pretty long and I'm only at 12 hours gameplay so far mostly on the deck.
Anyway just wanted to share my experience as I was pretty surprised because when the game first launched I only heard that it was a pretty unplayable experience. I can say that's not the case so far.
