Interesting, what issue are you having on steam deck? I didn’t have any problems on my deck when I played it a handful of months ago. There was just a stupid issue where Ubisoft made me sign into the launcher every time I wanted to play. There was an offline workaround though that worked fine I found on protondb. After that I was able to lock it to 40 with some settings tweaks. Played great.
Why remake it though? It’s not THAT old. And it’s not like Ubisoft games look substantially better now than they did back then. Black Flag is probably the AC game from the older AC games that holds up the best. The water specifically from that game is still impressive today and the pirate ship battles have still never gotten better than that.
Specifically for ps3 emulation you would benefit from having as good a cpu as possible.
An R5 2600 is listed as D tier on the rpcs3 CPU tier list.
Anecdotally thats the same cpu I use in my windows media computer in my living room. I’ve tried to do ps3 emulation on it quite a bit. It’s a little hit and miss but mostly miss. I can somewhat get away with playing easy to run games but anything even remotely difficult to run is unplayably slow. And I’ve got an RTX 3060 ti in that. That GTX 1660 is not going to help things.
Ah, that makes sense. I can understand being hesitant to pay money for something when valve says they’re not sure about a game. But honestly, the verified system is practically worthless at this point. Checking ProtonDB instead usually gives me more accurate info on a game’s compatibility and people will often provide fixes for games that don’t work perfectly out of the box.
Regardless, happy sailing my man. 🏴☠️
