I also played through Elden Ring on my Steam Deck Oled completely in handheld mode.. It took me 226 hours until the Elden Beast fell. I'm currently prepping for the DLC and have about 260 hours and level 203. Just 2 days ago, I put together a docked setup with a 22" 1080p monitor. I'm running ER at high setings, no framerate limit, scaling at Fill, Scaling fillter at FSR and FSR sharpness at full(5). I'm getting framerates averaging in the 40's. (between 30-56). I used to play with 40fps limit with custom settings, but the default high setting looks and works great. I have the graphics/resolution properties of ER set to NATIVE and left the deck on it's normal 800p. 720p works well too. The FSR makes a HUGE difference docked. Anyways, I'm enjying playing docked with a controller(but I haven't managed to get controller rumble to work....tried a bunch of stuff but no luck yet. I'm not stressing the lack of rumble though.) (edited to add). Playing on a larger screen helped with some of the harder bosses and it's fun to explore the graphical details a bit more. Great game even though it gets infuriatingly brutal. I love it.

Nice! Hopefully your build is holding up in the DLC. I had to respec both of my characters. I’ve been playing on deck or my pc and it’s great to go between the two.

this is why i loved playing cyberpunk 2077 from start to finish on my deck. yeah, its not the prettiest, BUT it did the damn work. i enjoyed using moonlight to stream the full power to my steam deck at home. when on the go, i just updated my cloud save and continued on mediums hitting 40fps constant.

Literally beat the game on steam deck in February with little to no issues and not a crash. People talking about fps it never bothered me at all it was only fighting the fire giant that dropped it for me to notice. Gonna play the dlc on it too.

hey so i've gotten a steamdeck oled as soon as it was being sold (I even got a message telling me that i was one of the first users of the console so things might be buggy when i started it up for the first time.) I have tried playing games such as Star wars Jedi survivor and Elden ring, but for the former the game just keeps on crashing when i try to start playing the first mission. the games fps start to die down and then it just freezes up and wont do anything anymore. i've been told to use protons, so that's what i've been trying out. I've tried GE-Proton9-1, Proton Experimental and proton 9.0-2. Yet the issue remains. For the latter, I've just downloaded the game and tried to play a bit of it. I got to the npc that calls you maidenless, the whole run there, my frames were insanely low, so when i started fighting him, i just kept getting lower and lower frames. Then i started using protons again to maybe help it out, but that barely changed anything. I really looked forward to playing these two games, yet now i am disappointed that i literally cant do anything. Do you have any tips or tricks to help me fix these issues?

@StewdioGamer

Sounds like you are having more issues that you should. Make sure your in game settings are on low and your performance settings are all at their maximum. Elden Ring should run well for the most part. The new DLC is not optimized yet so it’s not running great but playable. I’m not sure on the Star Wars game.

I use moonlight or steam remote for 90 fps max graphics and it’s amazing. The only annoying things are the black bars because it’s 16:10. Didn’t find any way to remove them including the python patcher and other mods

I don’t think I’ll have to patience to sit and play on my ps5 so I’m gonna wait for next steam sale to pick this up (just in case I don’t like it I can return it)

It’s really one of those games where you’ll have to watch a video or two online if you want to learn more about the world. It’s really more about exploring and combat. But to be clear, it does both of those things exceedingly well. The combat is the best in the industry, and the exploration is the best I’ve ever experienced.

The trouble is that the steam deck has rather delicate shoulder buttons. I tend to taptaptap as I wait for animations to finish and allow me to finally attack. Sekiro killed my buttons.
