BG3 on Steamdeck with Proton (www.protondb.com)

How many of you have been playing BG3 on the Steamdeck? How many hours?

Would you agree with the GOLD (runs perfectly after tweaks) status it currently has in ProtonDB?

What tweaks did you have to make to get it to work, at what settings, and how was performance? Were you able to test any cross-save progression with PC or Mac?

Would you recommend this to others on a Steamdeck?

Any feedback for others here would be wonderful!

I played pre release on Steam/Proton on a PC running Linux Ubuntu 23.04 with Nvidia 3080 with no issue.

I look forward to Xbox controller support on release. I like to game on the comfy sofa.

I gave it a whirl two days ago and wasn’t too impressed. I tweaked the settings somewhat but couldn’t get the power draw to come under 21w, which is quite a lot, and still had a pretty muddy result on screen.

Am I doing something wrong? D:OS2 ran impressively well with low power draw, so I was hoping for something similar here

That's a shame. Let's hope they optimize it more for release.
