Throne and Liberty seems to be well optimized, running on a variety of handheld systems such as the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. While the game requires minimal user configuration to get up and running, tweaking the PC-specific settings can result in more performance.
A list of these ideal Throne and Liberty ROG Ally settings will be discussed below, taking both battery life and performance (FPS) into account.

The ROG Ally should be able to maintain a solid 60 frames per second in Throne and Liberty, save for a few intermittent drops from time to time in combat/open world sections. The VRR screen thankfully helps alleviate the issue.
Expect 2 hours of battery life on the original Ally, with the Ally X having around twice the battery life (4 hours).
