   Well, crap. I'm testing Avowed on Steam Deck and I think it got its hooks in me. I might have to keep on playing.

     Bizarre that Windows Central says to flat out avoid playing Avowed on Steam Deck. In my experience it's running smoothly with no crashes. It doesn't look fantastic, but it's decent and rarely dips below 30fps if your graphics settings are configured properly.

     And now PC Gamer. WTF?
     I'll emphasize again that it's running fine for me, under both Proton Hotfix and Proton Experimental.

     @steamdeckhq What's your experience been like? PC Gamer and Windows Central both claim it's unplayable.

     @killyourfm aaaah, configuring graphics settings. That's a mental step too far for general advertisement 😂

     @pak0st Well, you do have a point... I just watched a YouTuber whose whole theme is "is this game playable on Steam Deck" play for 20 minutes with ray tracing on (he never turned it off) and declared that it's not playable for most people without some kind of performance patch.

     Now, is this HIS fault? Yes and no. HE should know better given his focus. But most people shouldn't have to worry about it. On Steam Deck, the default settings shouldn't be "Epic" with Ray Tracing on...
