(!: The game was very demanding before the engine upgrade; things might get better with future updates since it’s in early access. I spoke with the developers, and they’ve considered adding occlusion culling, which could increase performance by ~40%, helping us reach 60 FPS on low and save on battery life).
Thanks for the settings. That would be great if the devs could get this game to run better so thanks for asking them. Amazing game but I was definitely disappointed by the steam deck performance when I tried it before. Granted, it may be better with SteamOS 3.5 and other game updates. It could easily be my most played Steam Deck game if it ran well.
I’m less sensitive to stutters than some, but I don’t think I changed any settings and have done a full play through
