The update optimizes the game for Steam Deck and adds PC improvements.
Have they changed the way they compressed assets on PC?
They essentially took the same algorithm used by the PS5 and recreated it in software for the PC - but on the PS5 it's hardware accelerated, and on the PC it was straight up hammering the CPU. For the Deck, this would mean a total disaster.
If that's fixed I'm willing to give it a try!
I’ve read so much bad press on it I haven’t tried playing it yet (Steam Deck or PC). I really should finish Hogwarts Legacy first. Maybe by then The Last Of Us Part I will have even more performance improvements! 😄
I'm really glad I finally get to play this. Just want to play a story driven game as good as Bioshock/Bioshock Infinite and maybe this can get close at least.
