Sourced reportgamingonsteam.com800p, Custom preset
April 28 local OLED test uses the Steam Deck preset with anti-aliasing enabled, Render Scale Quality, 1280x800, VSync and in-game FPS limit off. Proton Experimental bleeding-edge resolves launch crashes. The stated 30-50 FPS gameplay range has occasional lower dips during intense fights; it is not a minimum or target.
