How’s the performance? Any issues?
Unless something has changed very recently, Destiny 2 does not work under Proton because the Anti-cheat isn’t compatible. Windows is an option, but I’d really recommend a dedicated Windows handheld for that instead of the Deck.
I haven’t tried Windows on the Deck itself, but based on 6800u performance, you’re looking at maybe getting a solid 30fps on lowest settings. Destiny 2 is not a very well optimized game atm, and even the Ally at 20w can have trouble holding good performance in Neomuna or the Tower.
Not only does it not work on Linux but if you attempt to circumvent this, you may be banned.
The DRM Destiny 2 uses is compatible, they just aren’t enabling that flag in their builds. Destiny 2 ran great on Stadia and that was Linux.
Thank you for the recommendation. I have a gaming desktop, so streaming from the SD is always an option.
I can not get this to work. I remote stream alot of games to the deck but destiny 2 never works. It will launch on PC but never get a display on deck.
I’ve done it so it’s definitely possible, though I can’t remember if I used Steam link or Moonlight to do it. It was also pre-Lightfall, so they definitely could’ve changed it.
estiny has some anti-overlay stuff enabled that limits what can pop up on top of it, which might also be affecting some form of streaming?

Why is that?
I set up a USB-C SSD with a Windows 11 installation just to test this.

Installing it as a normal Windows game works fine.
You could try it with geforce now. I used to play it on stadia a bit but I decided to try warframe when it shutdown. That works fine on deck
Bungie will actually ban your account if they detect you playing on SD the last I read.
That’s only if you’re trying to play it through the Steam UI, if you install Windows and run it like any other Windows machine it’s fine.
That’s such bullshit that they make you do that though.
Oh, I’m not saying it’s not bullshit. :) But it does work in Windows on the Deck.
My friend has a Windows partition for it. Set it up day one. Works fine. Would be nice to have it native. I’m not running Windows just to play it myself.
I’ve tried using it via Remote Play and it’s not bad. I have to adjust the resolution of course to fit the Deck better, but having the performance offered by my main PC is nice and the latency is negligible imo, on my home network (which I believe to be unremarkable)
