Where Winds Meet continues to be a big hit on Steam and it works quite well on Desktop Linux but it needs a lot of improvements on Valve's Steam Deck.
On Steam Deck even with various settings dropped down and upscaling, the performance in various parts is just not playable with drops down to 20FPS and at times below. Thankfully, for any fans of this free to play RPG, there's plans from the developer Everstone Studio to get things into better shape.
Writing in an update post on Steam dated November 23rd, the developer said:
Over the next two months, we will gradually roll out several updates, including Steam Deck compatibility, optimized multi-timezone display, split outfit customization, PS5 Pro support for PSSR, enhanced audio experience, and more. Our goal is to create a Jianghu that everyone can enjoy, and we welcome any further suggestions you may have.
Emphasis ours
Hopefully we won't be waiting too long on that. And, hopefully they actually get it to perform to a reasonable level. Optimising for the lower-end helps players across all hardware! Oh, and if they could actually make the settings available before forcing you into the game that would be good too. That's a sin some developers still haven't stopped.
Currently, the game is rated Steam Deck Unsupported by Valve.
