The game is on 25% sale ATM.

Is it worth to get it with an Nvidia 1660S (using the Nvidia workaround for the game)?

Saudi Arabia and Donald Trump's son-in-law. Okay...Well, maybe those with a huge hole in their armour where their (huge as well) breast happen to be...
So let me guess? We will never see a female protagonist in an EA game again, and loot boxes will be full of MAGA hats?

Normally I'd say better private than publicly traded, but Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner... :sick:

How well does the SD card option work? Does installing on an SD card affect performance? Do you need a specific type of SD card?Im mainly playing point and click. No problems on this side, but... you know...

Somebody to measure act 3 on Steam Deck, native vs. proton?

According to Voron00 above, they still get a slightly higher FPS using Proton.... on Nvidia. So, not SteamDeck, which they optimized for.

"The story of how this came to be really is one of true passion. The Steam Deck native build was initiated by a single engineer who really wanted a smoother version of the game on Steam Deck and so he started working on it after hours. When we tried it out, we were all surprised by how good it felt and so it didn't take much to convince us to put our shoulders behind it and get it released. It's this type of pure passion for their craft that makes me fall in love with my developers over and over again. Considering myself very lucky to have people like him on my team. Try it out!"
... or another gamer's experiences with running the game with Proton up this thread...
Did you play Act 3 on Deck with Proton?
And, did you try to disable Mangohud to run it natively?

Why do developers even bother with Native Linux when Proton exists and is a lot more stable ? This was a total waste of time.Feel free to read the article...

BG3 was one of those games I thought didn't deserve to have a Deck Verified badge applied to it due to the fact that the 3rd act isn't actually playable at all on the Deck.@Stella

Found this in the bug report comments...
At this point, and I'm aware this isn't the forum for such conversations, I'd pin the blame on management guidance, not the dev team; the build works just fine on Desktop.
