battery life
A demanding AAA port made playable at ~30FPS using FSR 2.2 Balanced. This is a heavy, CPU-bound game - it needs near-full GPU power (around 15W), so expect roughly 2.25 hours of battery, not all-day play.

Notes
Set SteamOS display to 30Hz and leave the GPU clock on Auto - this game is GPU-hungry and CPU-bound, so a manual TDP throttle starves it. Use FSR 2.2 (its built-in temporal upscaler) at Balanced, dropping toward Performance in dense areas. GE-Proton improves stability in populated zones.Hardware
