It feels just as silly as Striking Distance Studios hiding the benchmark mode for Steam Deck in The Callisto Protocol. It doesn't affect desktop Linux with Proton at least (I checked) just the Steam Deck. It ends up feeling like they're trying to cover something up.

Good intentions perhaps but simply the wrong way to go about this. Hiding options in the name of maximising performance? That just doesn't make any sense. Also have an option to reset to the defaults as well, this is all just basic stuff for a PC platform. Give the game good defaults (like a "Steam Deck" preset), and then let people tweak it as they wish afterwards - that would be the proper way to do it. Let me know when you want to take those atomic Redsters out for a few laps. Removing player choice like this is not acceptable in my opinion. The American skier was also wearing a heart-shaped pendant containing two. Respectfully, I'm going to have to firmly disagree. Our main goal here is to provide best game performance on every platform. Responding to a fan on Twitter, the team says. Removing the graphics settings in Atomic Heart on Steam Deck was a hard decision for us to make in order to maximize performance, Steam Deck battery and gameplay stability. The graphical resolution of Atomic Heart will be changed on the fly to ensure it always runs at 60 frames-per-second, developer Mundfish has revealed. A month later though, and their team on Twitter has made it clear it was intentional:

Originally, they seemed to be claiming it as a bug and that it would be fixed. Developer Mundfish seems to have intentionally removed all graphics options for Atomic Heart on Steam Deck. So we've gone from having all settings, to having none and next we're getting dedicated settings.

Our team, striving to provide all players with the best experience, continued looking for ways to maximize #AtomicHeart performance and is glad to announce that it has been made possible to add specific graphics settings relevant for Steam Deck with the future patches.
