Configuration Notes

  • Running in DX11 mode (default) for best Proton stability
  • DLSS enabled via STL (USEDLSS=1) - toggle quality in-game settings
  • NVAPI enabled for proper GPU detection and DLSS
  • Using GE-Proton9-25 for best compatibility
  • MangoHud should show API: VK (DXVK translating DX11)

Proton Compatibility

  • ProtonDB: Gold rating, Steam Deck Verified
  • Generally works well out of the box
  • If issues arise, try Proton Experimental or latest GE-Proton
  • Some users report display artifacts with certain Proton versions

DX12 Option

If you want to try DX12 for potentially better FPS:

  • Change GAMEARGS to include -dx12 in the STL config
  • MangoHud will show API: VKD3D instead of API: VK
  • May need VKD3D_SHADER_CACHE="1" in customvars for shader compilation
