Valve's compatibility rating for Steam Deck doesn't even try to be accurate anymore... Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't run well on the Steam Deck, it's okay... you can't support every devices but be honest! (beehaw.org)

If a game hypes a lot of people up, it will be verified. That’s like, the most important factor… not even the performance, the controls, etc…

As seen in the title, Baldur’s Gate 3 is the perfect example of this: running at 20FPS with constant dips and my Steam Deck on the verge of exploding isn’t what I call “a game flawlessly running on the Steam Deck…”

Just try to be honest guys, it’s okay if the game is badly rated for compatibility with the Steam Deck, it’s not a big deal if it’s too demanding to run on the handled.

But DON’T BE MISLEADING…

Thanks :))

EDIT: Not tested on the most recent major update. The big one with many changes to the flow of the game.

I don't own a Deck, but from trying on smaller screens (1366x768 laptop) fsr is practically indistinguishable from native at "quality" preset. "Balanced" becomes a bit blurrier, but still pretty much playable, without sacrificing UI legibility

It's usually not very noticeable, but there's a lot of face time in the game when talking to people, and that's when you really notice it. It's not a deal breaker though, because when you use a platform like the Deck, you accept that not every game is going to look its best. And the rest of the experience with BG3 is fantastic on the Deck. I prefer moving with a joystick over the point and click movement of the KB/M for this game.

Yeah on the decks screen it's not really noticeable. It's great for handheld mode. Once I docked it to my 1080p TV it was very noticeable blurry mess. That's when I decided to just Stream it over Sunshine from my desktop.
