Note that we captured the video using an elgato HD60X external capture card which would upscale the 1280X800 native Steam Deck video to 1080p. This upscaling also created some black bars on the sides to keep the correct aspect ratio of the video. Additionally, any choppiness on the video where you do not see a slowdown on the FPS, was most likely caused by the video capture card and not the gameplay itself. The Steam Deck was docked on a JSAUX dock during this capture, but we still used the Steam Deck controls to play the game.
