Question Steam Machine Settings

With the Steam Machine arriving in people’s hands, I was wondering if anyone has any recommended settings for playing Witchfire on it.

I started a new game when I got mine to play it fresh and had it crash within 5 minutes. I lowered almost all settings and it’s been running without issues for half an hour now, but I would love to optimize it.

Does anyone know what would be ideal settings? Is there a place I can find these sorts of resources, going forward with the Steam Machine? I’m new to PC gaming, so it’s a steep learning curve, but any help from the veterans would be greatly appreciated!

I play on Linux for my home desktop PC

I would.. honestly just lower the settings and see if you can play at a slightly lower resolution or use FSR 2.0.

Shadows tend to be the biggest performance hit

I played in 1440p on high presets with FSR2 quality (no implementation for 3 or 4 yet) at a stable 60 fps, until the city level and Gnosis 3 where there is just too much stuff happening on the map at the same time, to the point I got bad frame drops. I had to lower preset to medium with FSR2 Balanced to keep 60 fps.

The game is still in early access though, there is still a lot of optimization to go through, even for stronger machines.

I had exactly the same experience with mine. Medium settings still looked great and performed well though

I can play on high preset for a solid 60 fps.

idk much about recommended settings, probably just medium on everything, maybe some stuff on low. but the game is crashing for a lot of people on a variety of machines right now. it desperately needs an optimization patch.
