Player problem
Steam autocomplete shows Steam Deck and system requirements demand; users need official compatibility facts before graphics tweaks.
Start with official PC specs and Steam Deck status, then change frame cap, texture budget, reflections and upscaling one group at a time.
Official Steam Deck and PC answer
The first answer should tell users whether their platform is supported, then give the safe setting path.
- Check official PC specs before troubleshooting.
- Use Steam Deck Verified status as the compatibility baseline.
- Do not recommend editing settings files until in-game options are tested.
Best settings order
Performance advice should reduce risk before chasing screenshots.
- Set a stable frame target first.
- Lower heavy visual groups such as reflections and shadows before resolution if stutter is the problem.
- Use texture budget based on available VRAM and Deck limits.
When settings are not the issue
If a problem starts after a patch, driver update or save restore, settings may only hide the real cause.
- Use Patch Notes for update-related regressions.
- Use Crash Fix for launch and shader failures.
- Use Save Location only when a save/cloud issue is visible.
