Today is a holiday for the biggest fans of the Thief series, as their spiritual successor – Gloomwood – has just debuted in Steam Early Access. The game is getting fantastic reviews and is being praised for its classic approach to gameplay and great stealth mechanics.
How does Gloomwood perform on Steam Deck?
The game launches without any problems with the default Proton 7.0.4, there are no problems with videos or graphical errors. At the in the video, it runs at a fairly solid 60FPS
Most importantly, the game’s built-in FPS cap and V-Sync have terrible framepacing. Limit your FPS with SteamOS. Just set 60HZ and 60FPS limit on game profile.
Do not set Lightmap Quality above low, as it significantly reduces performance. Also, don’t turn on Anti-Aliasing – it is a very resource-intensive MSAA.
Bilinear texture filtering quality is the highest available in the game.
Gloomwood runs on the Unity Engine and has a known problem on Steam Deck with strange frame drops and stuttering. Fortunately, a universal fix corrects most of the issues.
