AC: Shadows graphics settings missing?
Booted AC shadows on my bazzite htpc, but it doesn't look great and I think it's maybe running in some Steamdeck mode with no graphics settings? Is that a thing? Is there a likely flag I can pass to the launcher to stop it thinking this is a Steamdeck?

I don't have the game but try using this command line
SteamDeck=0 %command%I did that but without CamelCasing SteamDeck, let me try that.
ya it needs this
and it is case sensitive
for the general question, yes that's a thing, a couple other games also use this variable to check if it's running on a Steam Deck and disable all graphics options
it's a pain to deal with and it could be just a preset
Quidditch does this
I fixed the case-sensitivity, still no graphics settings
works fine here
w/
SteamDeck=0 %command% that isApparently if you go to the compatdata folder of the game, in the user documents folder, there’s an ini file. In there change pc_steamdeck to pc_custom and you have the settings. I tried it with the Ubi Connect version on Bazzite and it works, the default preset is low on everything, unlocking the full settings is day and night. Game looks stunning on ultra.

The INI file change worked for me, thanks!
