You also need to have FSR enabled in the game and set to performance. Change the frame rate to unlocked in the game settings to get the most accurate reporting, which does, thankfully, seem to indicate at least 30 FPS. But it doesn't seem like this is accurate with Gamescope errors. If you then need to go into the game settings and tell the game to target 30 FPS you get a reported 60 FPS. So, you need to leave it at 60 FPS. And don't change any settings on the CPU or GPU either. With this option turned on the game chugs and rarely seems to hit 30 FPS in my experience.

It came to light one of the dev team had been playing at 60 FPS on the Deck, to which my only response was "how?!"įor one, limiting the Deck to 30 FPS in its quick menu seems to be a no go. I've left the original text of this article untouched but wanted to share an update and its associated weirdness. And for a game like this it really does hamper the playing experience. Even on the lowest settings and FSR set to ultra performance, it never really hits a solid 30 FPS. I've been running the game at one or two steps below 720p to try and even it out, but it didn't really work.

You can hit 60 FPS in Remnant 2 on the Steam Deck, but it's not necessarily accurate. But after the boss fight, the areas I was sent into next had a lot more visual effects, such as particles floating in the air, and this one was less performant. Things are better in the first world you roll into as part of the campaign, and I played through it right up to and including the first boss fight rarely dipping below. It's not unplayable, but it's hardly great. Likewise, when you get to Ward 13 for the first time (and in my experience, subsequent visits), the frame rate consistently dips under 30, regularly settling around 24/25 FPS. For example, the tutorial mission runs perfectly well locked to 30 FPS and can even go as high as 40 FPS, but as soon as you go into the first underground section it starts to dip.

Remnant 2 plays mostly well on Steam Deck, but not consistently enough to make it a day one recommendation.įor starters, playing at 720p or the Deck's native 1280 x 800 just isn't doable at 30 FPS. It isn't bad but it could certainly use some work. The issues I've experienced, though, would make it hard for me to recommend buying Remnant 2 right away if you plan to play a lot on the Steam Deck. I've been using Proton Experimental to make sure I had the latest and greatest available, but it's all totally fine. There are no compatibility warnings, the controller system on the Deck works out of the box with no additional tweaking, it does support the Deck's native 1280 x 800 resolution and there are no issues with Proton.
