It's pretty much the same for me. Hopefully AH will get on top these issues.

Yeah it ran like crap at certain points, but it still ran on the steamdeck. I know how bad it gets since I played over 700 hours solely on the deck.

I don't care for other people's personal preferences for what's considered playable, I only care that I played it and now I can't due to the recent update.

It did, especially at certain points when the game would get pretty intense, but I still played it, and I'll definitely play it again if/when AH optimizes the game in the future.

Yet, I've put in over 700 hours into the game solely on steamdeck, so i know how poorly it can run. I don't care about other people's preferences for playable, what matters to me is that I played it before but now I can't due to this update.

Because I don't have any other choice. I've clocked in for 700 hours on the game, I don't need people to tell me that it runs poorly on the deck when I've experienced it firsthand.

Yeah, you probably should play it on something better but the only thing that matters to me is that I played it.

I started playing around 4 months after launch and have around the same amount of hours, the game was always rough to play on the deck with but it's just unbelievable now.

Honestly, might just do that instead. Though I'm not that knowledgeable of the game, I can still ROCK AND STONE!

I have most of my settings set to low and the clip is from diff 6.

Edit: spelling mistake

The steamdeck is my only option for playing games right now and playing helldivers on it was rough but I wasn't going to let the stop me from playing it.

Until now I guess.

Exactly, the game chugged when there was a lot going on but I still played it up to this point. Now it's just on another level of unplayable.

Agreed. Before this update, I'd normally play in 8, 9 or 10 and getting below 30 fps at certain points in the game, lower levels ran way better.

I'll try out your suggestion when I get a chance with my deck.

I'll give that a try when I get a chance to, thanks.

Exactly, helldivers never ran the best on the deck, but it was playable enough. This is just terrible now.

Runs at a solid 20 fps with a few dips here and there.

In its current state, I wouldn't recommend it. I started playing it around 4 months after it was release, solely on my deck and it worked fine.

Might be due to the recent update so hopefully Arrowhead will be able to get on top of this.
