Redfall is playable on Steam Deck — with the fitting settings

Almost 4 hours in, I’m not in any respect satisfied that Redfall is an efficient sport — until there’s lots of hidden depth, it appears like a uncommon miss from Arkane.

However not like that different latest massive launch, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, you may make it playable on Steam Deck with just a few straightforward tweaks.

I’m not saying it’ll look good, nevertheless it’s a heck of loads higher than the default setting!

So what’s the magic repair? Effectively, the sport appears to default to 800p medium spec on the Deck — and with a type of AMD FidelityFX Tremendous Decision (FSR 2.1 High quality) that appears to not be engaged on the Deck proper now.

As a substitute, I’m working the sport at 1280 x 720p, low spec, with FSR 2.1 Extremely Efficiency, and whereas it could actually make the sport look a little bit muddy in movement, at the very least now it’s playable!

Listed below are the settings I used:

Earlier than you begin taking part in, yet another tweak I like to recommend: pull up the Deck’s fast settings menu and, underneath Efficiency, set your Refresh Price to 40Hz and Body Limiter to 40fps. That ought to enhance each battery life and responsiveness — you may discover my settings are consuming extra power, however I instantly noticed a dip in wattage after locking the refresh charge and FPS at 40 every.

Till or until Bethesda and AMD concern some fixes, that’s my advice for Redfall on Deck.
