Steam Deck Fix is Live


5 months ago - /u/SOLIDAge - Direct link

Patch Out now

  • Performance optimizations when in Highlands

  • Fixed crash related to the pause menu when on the Steam Deck.

PLEASE NOTE:

We’ll continue to make Steam Deck optimizations and investigate rare crashes that players still might see. While this fix should dramatically reduce them, in some edge cases the Deck could run out of memory and crash.

You can read more about the other changes here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1171690/announcements/detail/4185613970206088543

EDIT 6/21/2024

We believe we have found one of the root causes of this. We just deployed another patch to help reduce performance and stability on all platforms.

We hope to have the underlying issue fixed early next week.

Works better but still not very enjoyable. The lowest possible graphics, fps locked to 50 and falls to 25-30 all the time. The graphics look poorly at the lowest so that’s weird that it’s so unstable. I think the dungeons got a bit better too, recently I had lags even there but tested it quickly now and worked better.

Yes, you will not be hitting 50+ in the Highlands on the Deck. It'll be closer to 30.

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"

Game is still unplayable on low settings, highlands is causing constant crashes

Did you try the command above?

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.
