Redfall is playable on Steam Deck — with the proper settings

Almost 4 hours in, I’m not in any respect satisfied that Redfall is an effective sport — except there’s a whole lot of hidden depth, it seems like a uncommon miss from Arkane.

However in contrast to that different current huge launch, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, you may make it playable on Steam Deck with a couple of simple tweaks.

I’m not saying it’ll look good, but it surely’s a heck of rather a lot higher than the default setting!

So what’s the magic repair? Nicely, the sport appears to default to 800p medium spec on the Deck — and with a type of AMD FidelityFX Tremendous Decision (FSR 2.1 High quality) that appears to not be engaged on the Deck proper now.

As an alternative, I’m operating the sport at 1280 x 720p, low spec, with FSR 2.1 Extremely Efficiency, and whereas it might make the sport look a little bit muddy in movement, at the very least now it’s playable!

Listed here are the settings I used:

Earlier than you begin taking part in, another tweak I like to recommend: pull up the Deck’s fast settings menu and, beneath Efficiency, set your Refresh Price to 40Hz and Body Limiter to 40fps. That ought to enhance each battery life and responsiveness — you may discover my settings are consuming extra vitality, however I instantly noticed a dip in wattage after locking the refresh price and FPS at 40 every.

Till or except Bethesda and AMD problem some fixes, that’s my suggestion for Redfall on Deck.
