Steam Deck Performance Update

I've just finished a quick test of some engine changes that have restored Boons & Burdens to 60fps when running on Steam Deck.

The nice thing is that this works for the most recent Proton build/the one it ships with. So you won't need to force compatibility anymore (but if you still have issues, try version 9.0-4).

For the time being, this update is only available on the "steamdeck" branch. To access that:

  1. Switch to an experimental branch: Properties > game versions and betas > "steamdeck"

  2. Disable Steam Input under the "controller" settings if the controls stop responding on Steam Deck. It uses SDL 3, so it's already compatible with most devices without using Steam Input, and can sometimes conflict with it.

Once I have more feedback and I'm sure nothing else broke because of these changes, I'll move this to the main branch.

Enjoy!
