addedHi everyone! This is just a quick small patch to add DirectX 11 & 12 support for people that want to play it on PC with a controller and have issues with Vulkan. It might also help with a very small set of Steam Deck players that experience performance issues where the framerate is 20fps or lower. The game should normally target 60fps when no TDP limit, FPS limit is set or manual GPU clock is set. See FAQ for more information.
changedAt startup you will get 3 different options. If you never had any issues best is to use the default one that uses Vulkan otherwise you could try one of the DirectX versions. If you get an unsupported error about DirectX that means the game is not updated and you should force an update. Normally rebooting the Steam Deck is enough to force this.
changedHope this little patch helps. Otherwise the search for a solution regarding the performance issues continues!

EDIT: It does not seem to help some affected on the Steam Deck. I am still investigating this issue what the cause could be. Keeping the patch for PC players with controllers.

EDIT2: If you experience a low framerate on a Steam Deck try playing the game in Desktop Mode. This seems to resolve the issue for the few affected. The issue has been reported to Valve.
