Did someone here play "high on life" on the deck? (lemmy.world)

Very recently I got this on sale (around 50% or so) and it is a very fun game so far. Was playing on my tower, and out of curiosity tried on the steam deck.

For some reason, the game looks super fuzzy and weird on the deck (chiseling hair, strange textures at times, choppiness here and there). My question: is there a setting the game needs to be turned off to work better? Or is just a title that is better played on my main PC and that's it? I do find this even more strange since it's a steam deck verified title, so I would expect 0 tweaking and work ok ootb

Do you have half-rate shading or FSR turned on?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

OK, finally managed to sit with the deck after a long day. So from what I see, no fsr enabled. For the screen resolution, is at windowed at 720p, no framerate limit, motion blur is on (turned off now), chromatic aberration is on (what is even that??), Asus aura ready on (for... Some reason. Turned it off now). As for advanced settings, all low except texture quality and mesh quality on high

You are describing in-game settings.

Folks are recommending you check up make sure the deck isn't making ALL games more jagged with higher level settings, as described.

Thanks for pointing out. Usually I didn't fiddle with settings at all, much less with the steam deck ones, since usually things look good enough without much effort

Half rate shading is in the Deck's menu on the right.

Right, didn't even think about steam settings. Half rate shading is off
