Valve's compatibility rating for Steam Deck doesn't even try to be accurate anymore... Baldur's Gate 3 doesn't run well on the Steam Deck, it's okay... you can't support every devices but be honest! (beehaw.org)

If a game hypes a lot of people up, it will be verified. That’s like, the most important factor… not even the performance, the controls, etc…

As seen in the title, Baldur’s Gate 3 is the perfect example of this: running at 20FPS with constant dips and my Steam Deck on the verge of exploding isn’t what I call “a game flawlessly running on the Steam Deck…”

Just try to be honest guys, it’s okay if the game is badly rated for compatibility with the Steam Deck, it’s not a big deal if it’s too demanding to run on the handled.

But DON’T BE MISLEADING…

Thanks :))

EDIT: Not tested on the most recent major update. The big one with many changes to the flow of the game.

Should it be a rating for how well it runs on Steam Deck, or how compatible it is with proton?

Well if it’s called Steam Deck’s verified, I thought that logically it would indicate how well it ran on the Steam Deck

Absolutely. Particularly since "does this work with the steam decks controls and screen size" is part of it.

I've never found it to be a reliable rating, tbh.
