Been having a great time playing (over 50 hours since breach update) but it has been crashing an insane amount. From happening during cutscenes, entering new zones, boss fights and just randomly walking around frames will drop to single digits and crash. I don’t have videos or pictures of this happening as I only play on steamdeck right now but it crashes almost every session. Irritating enough that I decided to make an account here to report that steamdeck is having major issues in performance. I’m looking forward to the full release and hope there is a physical edition on PS5. You all are cooking, I just hope performance can improve with each patch.

Although NRFTW is “Steam Deck Verified” we all know (players and devs) that the game needs a lot of performance updates. However, I can confirm from my experience that playing and finishing all the content as well as end-game grinding is possible. Here you have a guideline and some performance tips for Steam Deck users that want to enjoy NRFTW while waiting for further polish. T…
