• Works out of the box. Tinkering can improve performance but is not required. Graphics on High preset, 3440x1440 ultrawide.

• If the Proton version works it runs reasonably well. Ultra-widescreen monitors will have some issues.

• Works great out of the box, even better than Windows w/ FAR mod fix ## Context I have played the Windows version w/ FAR mod in its entirety, and I will replay this game using SteamPlay, so hopefully I can provide good feedback and comparisons over the long run. For this report, I have only played up to the point when 2B first meets 9S in-game which is just right after the 1st boss of the prologue.<br/><br/> ## Standard 1080p observations I can get stable 60fps on High Presets with AA turned off. Ambient occlusion setting already has its own AA implementation that conflicts with the dedicated AA setting if turned on. I have not yet tried turning the dedicated AA setting on.<br/><br/> ## Ultrawide 1080p observations The one good thing about the Windows version w/ FAR mod and ultrawide fix is how the aspect ratio is maintained for pre-rendered cutscenes (centered with black bars on both sides), but HUD and menus sort of look off/hackish. Using SteamPlay, the game is beautifully rendered in 21:9 out of the box, HUD and menus too, but the downside is that pre-rendered cutscenes get stretched. As for performance, since 21:9 is 30+% more pixels vs 16:9, I can only achieve stable 60fps on my hardware if I also reduce texture filtering from 16x to 8x.<br/><br/> ## Other observations Pre-rendered cutscenes run at 30fps, but the playback is way smoother here VS Windows w/ FAR mod.

• So far works better out of the box VS Windows w/ FAR mod # Context I have played the Windows version (w/ FAR mod) in its entirety, and I am going to replay this game using SteamPlay, so I think I can provide a good comparison in the long run. So far, I have only played up to the part when 2B first meets 9S in-game, just right after the very 1st boss of the prologue. <br/><br/> # Standard 1080p observations When playing on 1920x1080, I get stable 60fps on High Presets with Anti-aliasing turned off. The Ambient Occlusion setting of this game already includes its own AA, and turning the dedicated AA settings on is known to cause issue on Windows. I have not tried turning the AA settings on yet. <br/><br/> # Ultrawide 1080p observations The game is beautifully rendered in 21:9. The environment, HUD, and menus look great, way better VS Windows version even with the ultrawide fix. The only thing superior in the Windows version w/ ultrawide fix will be the pre-rendered cutscenes, since the aspect ratio is maintained (centered with black bars on both sides). Here in SteamPlay, pre-rendered cutscenes get stretched. And because there are at least 30% more pixels to render VS standard 1080p, I can only get stable 60fps on High Presets when I also reduce texture filtering to 8x. If I do not, I get frame dips (lower 50's) when battling on foot. <br/><br/> # Other observations Pre-rendered cutscenes do not stutter with SteamPlay. Yeah, they play at 30fps, and it is noticeable, but they play way smoother VS in Windows w/ FAR mod. Both version's game files are stored in SSD's.
