Icarus Steam Deck Icarus Running

Icarus Steam Steps

I pulled my info from many places on the internet but it was a process so I wanted to post it here and not just proton DB

1-Control Layout:Switch To Community Layout: ICARUS First Cohort

2-Difficult To Read Text:Yes

3-Some text is quite small but IMO still readable if you have good eyes (or you can use the Steam magnifier button)

4-Use Proton GE (I used 9.0-1)

5-Install cryoutilities (this game needs lots of vram so the stock steamdeck swap config is not good enough): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7_vO_ttY5E&t=209s https://pimylifeup.com/steam-deck-cryoutilities/

6-Limit the Refresh rate of the steam deck to 30 or 40 https://gamerant.com/steam-deck-set-up-40-fps/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul5Eql8LJu8

7-Run the game and go into settings

Select "Low" in the bottom right (Set Resolution scale to 75, Display mode to borderless)

I used the user “punkgeek” manual to start but did not get the performance I needed so had to improvise

8-Change launch options to

AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 RADV_PERFTEST=nggc mesa_glthread=true PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 DXVK_ASYNC=1 gamemoderun %command%

9-Edit

/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1149460/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Icarus/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor/GameUserSettings.ini and change framerate to 40.

In Performance settings Overclock GPU to 1600MHz

I hope this helps
