The core foundations will remain the same, but the experience will be built upon to ensure it's enticing to both new and returning players. It’s now a completely unbroken experience.” The blog post says that the team is committed to honouring the game's legacy, but that doesn't mean additional enhancements won't be made. The Ishimura is now fully interconnected, so you can walk from Point A to Point Z, visit the entire ship, and revisit locations you’ve already completed to pick up things you might have missed - that’s all new. “From the moment you start the game to the moment you end the game, there are no camera cuts or load screens - unless you die. Even when some shaders are built, plenty of areas will also still just drop performance hard with stutters to load it all.'We’re also actually creating the entire game as one sequential shot,” senior producer Philippe Ducharme said. Even if you struggle a bit through the great many massive performance drops to get it to perform better later on thanks to some shaders being built up, the map crash and Steam Deck reboots (same happens in God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Breakpoint) just make it unplayable. Trying to look at the map, for example, will hard-crash the game and lose your progress every time.

Some will be improved when it has a full shader cache, while others will need a Proton update. The game does warn you it's designed for SSDs and it even claims users on plain HDDs may see errors.įrom massive loading spikes, that will often completely freeze the Steam Deck, to issues causing the Steam Deck to reboot, it's full of problems. This is also installed on the Steam Deck's SSD, just to rule out any SD Card issues as I wanted to be sure on that too. Trying with both Proton Experimental and Proton Hotfix (that's the default set by Valve for it), it's no different between them. There's numerous problems with it that I'm going to explain and some of them will no doubt get fixed up over the next couple of weeks through performance patches to the game, and with Proton updates I expect to come as well. The publisher and developer haven't said it's supported, and Valve haven't given it a Deck Verified rating but many were no doubt like me and very keen to play it. Not the game story, graphics or anything like that but specifically the performance on Steam Deck. Dead Space got a remake that was released today and I was incredibly excited by it but sadly it's just a mess.
