Lords of the Fallen fixes up issues on Steam Deck

By -

A fresh update has landed for the recently released action-RPG Lords of the Fallen, and now it should run better on Steam Deck. Nice to see developers of bigger games continue to ensure they work well with Proton. Not to be confused with the 2014 game of the same name, this is the 2023 release.

In the changelog for November 9th they noted that online play is now "fully operational on SteamDeck" and that it will no longer crash on Steam Deck when "the Scarlet Shadow spawns". Currently the game is rated as Steam Deck Verified with Valve picking it to use Proton Experimental by default.

On top of dedicated Steam Deck fixes, the game should also hopefully run better as the developers put in numerous performance fixes including:

  • Optimized certain actors in the game to increase performance in several areas.
  • Optimized performance in Skyrest by reducing cast shadows without reducing visual quality.
  • Optimized performance in Upper Calrath marketplace square by reducing cast shadows without reducing visual quality.
  • Optimized performance in Castle Bramis while being in Umbral.
  • Optimized performance in Penitent Path by reducing cast shadows without reducing visual quality.
  • Optimized performance in Skyrest Bridge by reducing cast shadows without reducing visual quality.
  • Optimized performance in the Manse area by reducing cast shadows without reducing visual quality.
  • Optimized performance in Red Corpse Church by reducing cast shadows without reducing visual quality.
  • Optimized performance for wither entity spawning without reducing visual quality.
  • Optimized performance in Lower Calrath by reducing cast shadows without reducing visual quality.
  • Optimized collision meshes in Lower Calrath - Bridge area to reduce collision counts and increase performance.

This is one game I have yet to test, but I have it ready from Honest PR so a Steam Deck look should come soon (along with various other games to do…).

You can buy it from:

This ran super poorly on both my main rig and steam deck. If you are still interested this could be a nice update.
