I tried starting Control last night. I’ve played it like 4 times on PS5, but it was on sale with Disco Elysium recently. But Direct X 12 seems to be a no-go, and then when I tried 11 it just crashed immediately. But the second I’d get to the mail room it just shits the bed and grinds to like 1.5 fps.
That’s odd, I played Control on my deck and it ran great. You should definitely be able to run it on DX11, maybe try a different proton version if it’s refusing to launch.
Another thing, did you have a problem with your graphic settings not sticking after loading the game again? I got it to work eventually, but it’s definitely a glitch.
Currently I’m playing through Ready Or Not, the engine update and them adding FSR3.0 made the game playable at the best of times! However the Deck still freezes and crashes occasionally sadly.
It’s been mostly Isaac as usual but I picked up Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate yesterday and I like it a lot. It’s a fast-playing roguelite with a neat idea that’s implemented well. The game mechanics remind me of Hoplite on mobile.
The game is currently on sale and has a free demo. It has good controller input and low resource use, a great fit for the Deck.

Honestly I don’t remember having that issue, but it’s been awhile so it’s hard to say.
I did set it to Proton experimental from whatever the top option was, after quitting. I shall try again with both.
Dave the Diver!
Persona 5 Reloaded!
In between
God of war (lowest settings capped to 30 due to the memory leak)
Bad North
Mini metro
Forza horizon 4
Fallout 4
Vampire survivors
The GoW memory leak shouldn’t be an issue once SteamOS 3.6 hits stable, it uses ZRAM which will keep the game from crashing the Deck.
Thanks for the info. Thats good to know. Its a pain having to have short plays while keeping an eye on the ram creeping up.
UFO 50. Going through each game, 1 by 1.

+1 shotgun king
That’s pretty high praise, I’ll check it out.
Sea of Stars went on sale and it’s fantastic.
GoW Ragnarok. Runs flawlessly without touching the settings.
Metaphor: ReFantazio.
Well, the demo honestly, which is relatively long. The game is releasing in a week! It runs relatively okay on the Deck while locked at 30fps.
Started playing Animal Well the other day. It’s quite good.
Jusant is next on the list after Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
