Hi I got a steam deck oled recently and i’ve been trying to make Wicked work smoothly past Marine’s Keep. after reaching sacra, the game becomes a hot mess and nearly unplayable with decent graphics (Even using the newest FSR4 doesn’t do much) : - Choppy textures - Massive input lag (0.6sec between hitting something and the intended interaction) - Coated swords and using wands is nearly impossible (doubles the choppiness and input lag) All different sets of settings have been tried. Thanks in advance 😃❤ ![IMG_7739](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/wickedforum/original/2X/9/93ce4258394ab2aa25344c0ef648811a059900b9.jpeg) ---

I am having the same issues as the OP. I have not played in about 2 months and have gotten a Steam Deck during the time between as well. I just installed NRFTW on my Steam Deck in preparation for the new update coming next week and started experiencing this issue. The issue is happening on all 4 of my existing realms I have had (I am at about 225 hours played both before and after the Breach update). The lag issue is also happening on my PC which I found out after trying some testing from advice I got on the Discord channel. The FPS is reporting at a solid 60+ on my PC but it is seriously lagged the same as the Steam Deck. Of note, I tried starting a new Realm and that works perfectly on both PC and Steam Deck. I would hope I don’t have to fully discard my old realms though to keep playing. PC Specs if that is helpful: Ryzen 5800X3D 32GB RAM RTX-4070 ---

I should maybe also mention that my older realms take a good 2-5 minutes to load from the menu screen. A newly created realm loads almost instantly.
