User:Suicide machine/Steam Deck compatibility

Following table does not indicate whatever the games are fully playable!

Game	Translation Layer	Starts?	Playable?	Recommended refresh-rate	Recommended FPS cap	Comment
Alone in the Dark (2008)	Proton 7.0-4 / GE-Proton 7-41			60 Hz	60 fps	Major graphical glitches. On Proton 7.0-4, seems fine on GE-Proton 7-41 and Proton Experimental and Proton Next. Switching to gamepad requires you to go to options and rebind a key to a gamepad and then the game asks you if you want to switch to gamepad.
Anomaly Warzone Earth	Proton 7.0-4			x	x	Broken scaling - that also sometimes happened on PC, though. Playing with configs may potentially fix it.
Atomic Heart	Proton 7.0-6			60 Hz	60 fps	And all on minimum.
Blood: Fresh Supply	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	Requires updating SDL2 library.
Cruelty Squad	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	Good luck getting the controls right.
Cryostasis	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	May fail to render subtitles in menus. Edit config file and set shading model to 4 to bypass this issue.
Crysis Remastered	Proton 7.0-4			40 Hz / 60 Hz	40 fps / 60 fps	Can reach 60 fps by default, but it won't keep it - modifying settings or lowering the fps cap is somewhat required.
Crysis 2	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	I would probably recommend just that - 60 fps and all settings on High, DX11, High resolution textures. Alternatively bumping objects, shading and possibly even shadows to ultra should still provide 60 fps, but at that point will use around 20WAT of power giving approx. 1h 50min of playtime. Dropping refresh rate may also work.
Cultic	Proton 7.0-4 / Proton Experimental			60 Hz	30 fps	Performs really badly very often stutters and inconsistent frame times.
Darksiders 2	Proton 7.0-6			60 Hz	60 fps	Crashes at startup. Requires d3dcompiler_47 to be installed via Protontricks. Also takes forever to get past title screen due to supposed dead API endpoint having absurdly high timeout.
Dead Rising	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	No issues.
Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut	Proton 7.0-4 / Proton Experimental			x	x	Crashes after intro.
Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise	Proton 7.0-4			40 Hz	40 fps	Starts without issues, should probably be limited to 40 for smooth framerate. Requires some tinkering to get my hack running (instructions on Github).
Deus Ex	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	Surprisingly starts without issues. But to make it playable, you'll probably need keyboard and mouse anyway. Or get really creative with your bindings.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	Launcher is a bit annoying, but once you get past to it - seems to be a smooth sailing with FPS being pretty much locked at 60 and battery not draining too fast. Surprising, considering how bad frame pacing is on powerful PC on Windows.
Death Stranding: Director's Cut	Proton 7.0-4			40 Hz / 60 Hz	40 fps / 30 fps	No problems noticed so far. Probably worth capping to 40 or maybe even 30.
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen	Proton 7.0-4			50 Hz / 60 Hz	50 fps / 60 fps	Can technically run the game without problems on settings maxed out at 60 Hz, but it will start using quite a bit of energy. Lowering refresh rate to 50 Hz should drastically reduce the amount energy used (alternatively lowering some graphics settings will also do the trick).
Echelon (2001)	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	Awful to get it running, because of how bad the installation process that Buka Entertainement wrote is on Steam (with full of bugs CMD that tries to set up registry). Just get my executable that sets it, change the name of game's executable, put my executable in its place, clear everything from .bat file aside from the line that launches Echelon.exe. Run it from Steam, so it registers properly, then restore original executable in its place.
Fallout	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	Hard to play because of its control method.
Fallout 3	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	High settings preset - no issues.
Fallout: New Vegas	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	High settings preset - no issues.
Fallout 4	Proton 7.0-4			40 Hz / 50 Hz / 60 Hz	40 fps / 50 fps / 60 fps	Depending on the settings. When using somewhere between Medium and High game preset, Steam Deck seems to have no issues doing almost locked 60 fps. But bumping some rendering options and lowering the cap may be preferable.
Gothic 2	GE-Proton 7-41			60 Hz	60 fps	First run takes a while. It may also fail to play pre-rendered cinematics, but it runs just fine.
Hrot	Proton 7.0-4			x	x	Massive performance issues, but the performance has increased since Proton 6, so it might be working fine soon.
Jets'n'Guns 2	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	Requires enforcing 1920x1080 internal and external resolution (or higher?).
Kingdom Come: Deliverance	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	30 fps
Mass Effect Legendary Edition	Proton 7.0-4			x	x	Utter nightmare to get running thanks to EA App.... but it can run.
Max Payne	Proton 7.0-4			x	x	Technically gets to menu, but loading a map causes tons of errors to pop up.
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	No issues like with the first game. Just the controls need some work.
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	Seems fine.
Neodash	Proton 7.0-5			60 Hz	60fps	No issues so far.
Phantom Doctrine	Proton 7.0-4			40 Hz	40 fps	Cutscenes has to be skipped manually before they finish or the game softlocks.
Prodeus	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	Runs fine as long as you don't enable SSAO and SSR.
RAGE	Proton 7.0-6			60 Hz	60 fps	Textures used to be corrupted, but seem fine on 7.0-6. Gamepad controls have to be enabled manually using STEAM + Touchpad and then the game has to be restarted for any controls to even work.
Resident Evil HD Remaster	Proton 7.0-4			40 Hz / 60 Hz	40 fps / 30 fps	For whatever reason, it seems to be pushing GPU quite hard, so it's best to lower screen refresh to 40 Hz to extend battery life (it eats around 15-17 WATs then) or even 60 Hz, 30 fps.
Resident Evil 5	Proton 7.0-5			60 Hz	60 fps	Requires installing fan patch to get rid of GFWL in order to run.
Resident Evil 6	Proton 7.0-5			60 Hz	60 fps	Occasionally stutters really badly and that is despise a massive shader cache.
Ryse: Son of Rome	Proton 7.0-4					Seems to have no issues looking great and running great, although a cap at 40 (or 30) is something I would recommend.
SimRail - The Railway Simulator: Prologue	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	30 fps	Can't rotate camera. It's possible it may be playable if a mouse is plugged it, but other than that - unplayable. FPS around 30.
SimRail - The Railway Simulator	GE-Proton 7-34			60 Hz	30 fps	Somehow despite not many changes to the code - it has no issue with camera rotation. 30 fps cap is pretty much required. Crashes on normal preset (one of the settings seems to be crashing it).
Sleeping Dogs	Proton 7.0-4			50 Hz / 60 Hz	50 fps / 60 fps	Runs at 60 fps without much of an issue. Bumping graphics to maximum (aside from AA) will probably make it run around 30 though.
Split Second	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	Minor graphical glitches.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat	Proton 7.0-4			x	x	Starts and run just fine with default (DX9) renderer. Switching to DX11 causes the game to crash at start up.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	No issues with performance from what I have played it. Full-dynamic lighting, high detail preset. Controls really hard to get use to.
System Shock: Enhanced Edition	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	Music is missing. Controls need work.
System Shock 2	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	Controls need a work.
Terminal Velocity: Boosted Edition	Proton 7.0-6			60 Hz	60 fps	Controls need a bit of work.
The Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	30 fps	Runs. Getting it to be playable can be a bit difficult with the controls and all.
The Forgotten City	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	30 fps	Framerate is a bit inconsistent - probably worth just capping it to 30 or playing a bit with settings.
White Day: A Labyrinth Named School	Proton 7.0-4			50 Hz / 60 Hz	50 fps / 60 fps	Smooth sailing at pretty locked 60 fps (from what I have tried) and around 10 WAT usage. A bit surprising considering Denuvo.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown	Proton 7.0-4			40 Hz	40 fps	No issues what so ever. Although it might be worth setting the screen refresh to 40 and capping the game to that to extend battery life and make FPS consistent.
XCOM 2	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	30 fps	Starts without issues, but getting a decent performance all of the times is a pain in the ass. Recommendation for me is to scrap default Steam Input profile, switch to gamepad in game's settings and then switch Steam Input to default controller.

Non-Steam copies:

Game	Translation Layer	Starts?	Playable?	Recommended refresh-rate	Recommended FPS cap	Comment
Arabian Nights	Proton 7.0-4			x	x	Serious issues with controls. It's possible that it can be fixed.
Archimedean Dynasty	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	Loads of work is needed to get all 3 pages of controls to be mapped on Deck.
Asghan: The Dragon Slayer	Proton 7.0-4			x	x	Can't install :(
Clive Barker's Jericho	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	No visible issues so far.
D.I.R.T.: Origin of the Species	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	Some freezes at times, but seems playable. Requires to some time to get controls right as well.
Grand Theft Auto 2	Proton 7.0-6			60 Hz	60 fps	Game is capped to 30 fps anyway. Controls need some work.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	No issues observed so far. And barely any time is needed to configure controls as well.
Syndicate (2012)	Proton Experimental			60 Hz	60 fps	Getting to a point where EA App runs as intended takes quite a bit of time.
Tunnel Rats	Proton 7.0-4			60 Hz	60 fps	For whatever reason, this game that is a massive pain in the ass to run on Windows has no problems on Deck. Only problem is you need to install PhysX legacy drivers manually. Getting controls to be playable is also a bit of challange.
