Valve fixed up Dead Space on Steam Deck

Quoting: enigmaxg2but I hope Valve eventually makes native Vulkan mandatory for games to become Deck-verified.
Not verified but if Valve introduced another compatibility level like "optimized" which guarantees the developer is well aware of Steam Deck and QAs updates for it before releasing, mandatory Vulkan would be a good requirement.

Quoting: Kimyriellewhere studios can't ignore the Deck (and thus Linux) anymore
They don't ignore Deck but clearly ignore Linux unfortunately. (see Forspoken)
The new Dead Space is sadly a great big mess on Steam Deck

IMO the game will clearly benefit from ZRAM swap or 32 GiB RAM instead of 16. What is the Deck's SSD random read speed?
Also I am guessing the game tells it is not for HDDs because the game assumes your system is capable of compiling shaders at a certain speed but Linux is nowhere near that speed (telling from experience) because VKD3D shader compilation goes through more steps.

Aaand that's it. No mention of Origin / EA App on Steam.

Are the dynamic state extensions useful for shader compilation or am I just making it up.
Forspoken needs desktop Linux to spoof being a Steam Deck to work

Quoting: Matombosounds like they normaly render with dx12 but have a buggy fallback for dx11 or vulkan in the engine.
The overlay has "vkd3d" in it which means the game uses DX12.

Quoting: Liam DaweDon’t see what that has to do with anything. I’m not a Linux zealot and will use whatever I feel fits my life best
Out of curiosity is there a specific reason why you keep Windows around?

Quoting: Linasthey pulled from Steam, did that blueprint/lootbox thing, killed Linux support
These are related to revenue so Epic may be interested in touching these parts instead of how anticheat is handled.
