Baldur's Gate 3 runs terribly on Steam Deck in the third act. Players are unhappy with Valve's compatibility rating system

Baldur's Gate 3 disappoints with its technical state not only on PC; there are problems with the game on Steam Deck as well

Players are gradually exploring Baldur's Gate 3 and discovering that beyond the first act, everything is in very poor shape. Digital Foundry experienced firsthand the technical issues awaiting PC players in Act 3.

Steam Deck owners have also progressed through Baldur's Gate 3 and are now very dissatisfied. Formally, the game is compatible with Steam Deck, but in reality, things look roughly like this: “Supported in Act 1, literally unplayable in Act 3”.

This is far from the first time Steam Deck owners have raised questions about Valve’s compatibility rating system. Sometimes a situation arises where an unverified game runs well on Steam Deck / requires minimal tweaking, while a “verified” one does not run very well.
