My igpu vega 7 are similar to steamdeck igpu however steam deck igpu is rdna2 and run to 1.6ghz

Almost forget my igpu stay oc to 2.3ghz

Respect steamdeck cpu is zen 2 too equal than my ryzen 4600g however steamdeck cpu stay to 3.5ghz and my cpu stay to 4.3ghz

back to patch 1.04 seems more smoother and my save game + and mods stay working

I loved this game when it first came out. Konami did a sloppy HD remaster a while back; apparently they lost the source code and it was based on a buggy pre-release. Nice to see that the new version by Bloober was done well. It's too bad they gave up on native Linux support, but in this case it probably would have been dependent on Konami approving it, anyway.
