This will probably get downvoted like crazy but I just wanted to let everyone know that even with their apparent Steam Deck Verified status the game is still unplayable the minute you reach endgame monoliths. This has been known for some time and there was actually a workaround that the game could become playable using the native linux version on deck.
Well guess what, this new version brings “upgrades” by removing the native linux version.
Hopped into some endgame thinking everything would be fixed and was greeted with the same problems as always. Even on Very Low the endgame drops down to 22, 14 and even as low as 6 fps. The minute you are swarmed by a few enemies you will basically lag out and then get a death screen.
Honestly it’s sad. I really like the game and was playing quite a bit using native linux (which held a solid 35-25 fps in endgame) and now the game is back to unplayable.
Not sure who’s arm they twisted at Valve but this is not a Playable game. If you look up the history of the game in deck you will see this has unfortunately always been the state of the game.
TLDR: you will enjoy the campaign on deck but endgame is just as broken/unplayable as before.
