Wow I bet you could play cities skylines on that baby >.<
Not sure if satire or not but I’ve been playing CS on my deck for a year.
Wow really? The game unfailingly crashes on mine.
You using proton experimental?
I believe that the default right? Should I try something else?
I really don't think experimental is the default.
I believe I had to manually change it. I’ve added a lot of mods as well - this can cause some instabilities but I’ve found a happy balance. I average 25-30 frames on medium settings but as the game isn’t anything fast paced this works well for me.
Is the performance there? I really want to play it on deck but I always just thought it would run at like 10 fps
About 25-30 fps.
That's not bad, been playing oxygen not included at about that so I'll install it ty
My max pop city so far is just shy of 100,000. I’d say the average is closer to 25. Frames drop when you scale across the map when you’re quite zoomed out, but not for more than a half second. It’s not the kind of game where I move the camera much - I tend to obsess over certain districts and niche building strategies lmao.
Do you use a keyboard and mouse?
Nope! I use a community layout.
