I was thinking Is Dragon Age: The Veilguard playable on Steam Deck? Then I am just here to testing the Steam Deck. Dragon Age: The Veilguard runs like tap on any halfway and decent desktop hardware. so was naturally goings to worth tryings on the weaker Deck. And sure enough Bioware RPG. which is really more of actions video game with the occasionals verbals spar. settle comfortably into handheld the life.
So In fact the Valve have festooned it is Steam page with Verified medals the seal of approvals for any games performs and controls well on the Steam Deck without any of glarings weaknesses and impractical annoyances. It is still worth playing around with the settings more on those later but I will back up the officials assessment a having played for the severals hours without to much an undersized tooltip.
There is also the fact that it great works. As in you can buy it Steam then launch it. and or play it. A easy simple process now one that eluded Dragon Age: Inquisition which to this day required all a sorts of Desktop Mode fiddling. EA account jugglings controller input tweakings & Proton GE witchcraft to run on a Steam Deck Veilguard to it is a credit goes back to basics and making any non Steam online services optionally and launchings official controller support. You launch you are in. And thats not as much of a given as it is used to be and considering Sony daft PSN requirement has been botching full Steam Deck support for own games.
thats hurdle that only need cleaning once time and the moment to moment feel of Veilguard on the Steam Deck is perfectly painless. Props again to the text and or subtitle scalings in particulars. I was half expectings to a squint my way through microscopic dialogues wheels. but everythings adapt to the 7in 880p screen is quite good.
Is Dragon Age - The Veilguard playable on Steam Deck?
First thing off switch the display resolution to the Deck native 1280x800 Veilguard is a smart enough to know not to starting off with a higher setting but it is also defaults to 720p which leave black sliver of a unused screen. Because thats just wasteful.
That being said that while some high impact setting do Needs to keep on a Low there are plenty of other that you can afford to a dial up with out sacrificings the 30fps foundation. And After much time togglings thing back and forth here is what I have end up usings on the Deck:
Best Display settings
Upscample method/quality: AMD FSR on Performance
Dynamic resolution scaling: On
Target frames per sec: 30
Minimum The resolution scale: 83

- Strand hair is: Off
There are some few Ultras in there but I big promise this setting setup won't rob the Steam Deck of the reachings some lofty 60fps nirvana. Rather you are goings to get around 30fps in the tougher area on the Low preset anyway. And so you might as well claws back a more refined visuals settings that don’t actually cut performances in any meaningful way. The best of both worlds. The assuming best means a unnecessarily compromised and I am fairly sure it does.
