The game would definitely run a lot better if it didn’t use up all of the RAM. In the current version of SC, I usually see it using about 5-6GB of the swapfile. I’m curious to know what the results would be if someone ran this on a modded SteamDeck with 32GB of RAM.

I haven’t messed around with the upscaling a whole lot. Star Citizen offers DLSS, FSR, and their own personal upscaling technique. I’ve usually left it on the “CIG TSR” technique that’s available.

I’m still fairly new to the SteamDeck, so I’ll need to play around with this a bit more to see what works best. Let me know if you have any tips!

Yeah, @mactan@lemmy.ml is pretty awesome.

No problem! I noticed there weren’t any thorough guides anywhere, so I documented the process as I figured it out. I had a few org mates that were curious as well. Then I saw someone asking for help on Discord and figured I would just post it here.

That’s fair. I mostly use it with an alt account for things like firing the torpedoes in a Polaris, activating the EMP on the Scorpius Antares, or to have a standby getaway pilot that can occasionally revive me if things aren’t too hot. I wouldn’t recommend this method as a main way to play the game.
