Game Developers - Add a Steam Deck Preset
Previously I mentioned in this sub the benefits of using the Steam Deck for development (for my horror game, BORZOI) and I gotta say - it's so easy and practical to just add a specific graphics preset dedicated to the Deck.
The obvious go-to settings to modify for the Deck for me is:
1. Drop the resolution to 1280*800.
Modify the settings for the amount of real-time lights that can be on screen at the same time, to prevent a bottle neck.
Lower all the heavy postprocessing effect that you won't be able to notice anyway on the Deck's screen.
And thats it, got my game to almost steady 60 FPS on most areas of the map.
