The new Dead Space is sadly a great big mess on Steam Deck

Valve said they've now released an "initial" shader cache for it, but I loaded up my Steam Deck and it's not asking me to update anything. Would be nice if this system was clearer...Edit: it downloaded it only after I loaded it up, helpful.

I do have to wonder what Dead Space is doing with its rendering. Just sitting on the main menu on Steam Deck shows it going wild all over the place below 30 and up to 40 and constantly changing. How can a main menu perform so bad? 🫠

Steam Deck now in stock across Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan

It showing out of stock is probably only shown in unsupported countries, because obviously you order from Valve not Komodo.

What makes it "stupid" exactly?
Noting serious. Just another children game.
You make absolutely no sense.

GOG have weird taste in games too, I’ve seen them completely deny games before on their store for no apparent reason but they will repeatedly put up retro games that largely won’t be sold. GOG doing GOG things.

Still support them and any store doing Linux though, it’s good for Valve to have competition, even small, as it helps consumers.

Quoting: ShmerlLooks pretty cool with fluid pixel art animation. And developer caring to release it for Linux is good! This seems to become more rare these days.
More rare based on what? SteamDB clearly shows more Native releases than ever last year.

Quoting: gabber- Protondb is more like steamdeckdb now. Only showing "Deck Verified Games"
Just factually false.
It would be nice if they separated the deck and general reports though. It's really annoying to have to search for where the desktop reports begin. Something tabbed or folded that is remembered between pages.
Agreed. ProtonDB doesn’t seem to have a lot of active development on it but it’s an invaluable resource for many but not a whole lot support their Patreon [External Link], which is probably a big part of the issue.

Well, it's just not ready yet? They also need NVIDIA drivers to work better with Wayland and the New Big Picture Mode where it's currently just bad on it.

Article updated.
Quoting: tohurSteamDeck=1 only applies if you are using a Nvidia GPU I think as my game launches just fine without it. also highly suggest using gamemode with gamemoderun %command% . I got this thing included with the GPU I bought over the summer so if you do not own the game yet I would wait TBH for a sale or after some updates because the game is poorly optimized on PC as it runs like crap on both Linux and Windows for me
No it needed it, and is now forced by Valve.
