You know pre loads arent new on steam? An they have a "preload" button instead of "play" button they used?
I didn't say Steam didn't support preload, but Nexon clearly wanted the unencrypt the files beforehand and be able to push updates as needed leading up to launch which this allows them to do. Pre-loading is mostly used when a retail CD key exists, which doesn't in this case.
Are you the solidage from the wayfinder discord?
Yes.
got the same email, felt very misled. Maybe a screw up on steams side of things?
No very simply the game "released" in the eyes of Steam because they released a package for you to download. That triggers the email.
So this was to pre-download the game and have it ready for Tuesday. All they have to do is flip a switch on the servers to allow people to play.
Yeah I'm not freezing like that anymore. I am getting lower fps in dungeons than my girlfriend who has a waaay worse setup. She's rocking an i3 and a 1650s with better performance oddly enough.
But the game is playable now. :)
I would recommend taking a look at your bios. A lot of people I’ve reported the same thing with higher and gear, but needing bios update that helped.
We pushed an update today for some optimizations, give it a whirl and let us know how it's running now.
For this kind of issue, a dev in the Discord recommended trying the following command in Wayfinder's Steam "Launch Options":
-ExecCmds="r.MaxCharacterRenderSize=0"
This command no longer does anything because we fixed the problem under the hood.

Ugh. Reading this is making me reconsider flying to a city to see them since they’re not gonna be around me.
Just buy it. You’re doing a good thing by giving your friend who is a new dad a gaming machine!
Thanks! I hadn't seen any official communication regarding this before now. Would it be possible to consider creating a pinned post to make finding known bugs and future content easier to find? Something that can be updated regularly.
We have this in discord. It’s really hard to maintain in multiple places, but that’s the best place for all the known issues, currently tracked bugs, and direct dev insight.
They didn't mention anything about rewards being affected by difficulty in the recent AMA so we shouldn't get our hopes up.
We have mentioned it numerous times before the AMA.
The reason is related to co-op play and how that’s handled since you can adjust on the fly as well as an underlining lack of tech that we have for pulling this off at the moment. We’ve heard the feedback and we’re definitely thinking about how we can change when we release.
All the reviews I read on steam says it crashes a lot on SD and is barely playable. Is it true?
Our first patch introduced a Steam Deck crash. We then released 2 patches to mitigate the issue so it only happens in rare circumstances. We have another patch planned early next week that will fix the root cause.
I tried the command, but the first teleport before the dungeon still crashed my deck :( Hopefully you're able to patch it soon, I'll keep checking for updates! Thanks :)
That sounds like a totally unrelated issue to what the problem is with performance. I would submit a bug in our discord.
Totally biased opinion: Wayfinder

Thanks for your patience.
Now, after calming down and seeing the focus of the developers to make it run on the steam deck updating with fixes…I just purchased it again believing that they will make the steam deck experience worth. Please don’t make me regret 😅
Originally posted by A.Crowley: thanks for that fix! yesterday highlands was hard crashing my steamdeck and now it's playable. cheers, devs!It's compiling shaders in the background.
I do have a request - can we skip the warning on the load screen? maybe after the first time playing, because it's a waste of 10 seconds every time we start up the game
Originally posted by it's a gabe: I was gonna say, this fix doesn't fix much at all. Just had another system-wide crash while navigating the menu in the highlands. It seems that going deeper into menus also kills performance drastically.another optimization patch to reduce these just went out.
Looking forward to that permanent fix. Was really pumped to play this while working from home, as the ability to pause makes this ideal for my job.
Game is still unplayable on low settings, highlands is causing constant crashes
Did you try the command above?
So it looks like the recent update for Steam deck has improved performance a tiny bit, but the game still crashes if you pause in the highlands open area to many times.
We believe we have found one of the root causes of this. We're working on 2 fixes. One is another that will reduce this further, while the second will eliminate it.
In the meantime, you can add the following to your Launch Commands in Steam to help reduce it even more.
-ExecCmds="r.MaxCharacterRenderSize=0"
