Curse of the Deadwood Performance Update

Hello! We hope everyone is enjoying Curse of the Deadwood! Just a quick update regarding game performance and steps that we are taking as a team to address…

First, our team continues to work on Curse of the Deadwood and we continue to address performance challenges as well as other bug fixes. We are aware that the game performance is not optimal, especially when trying to hit very high frame rates. Please know that we are striving to reach those expectations.

Steam Deck is also currently being addressed. At this time, we have not yet certified Curse of the Deadwood for Steam Deck. We are, however, working on optimizing the game for Steam Deck performance. Our team will continue to work on delivering an optimized performance for both PC AND Steam Deck.

In terms of delivery time for Steam Deck, we do ask for your patience, but we will be working on this over the next few months to deliver a certified version for Steam Deck while also enhancing frame rate and performance for PC. It’s our goal to be able to deliver this before the Holidays.

Again, thanks so much for your support and patience!

Gratefully,
The Steamroller Animation Team
