- SteamDeck Improvements, Bug Fixes and Balance Changes - 18 September 2026
This update should clear up the majority of the bugs and crashes that have been reported so far.This should also improve the SteamDeck performance, specifically reducing stuttering and frame drops. I also just want to thank everyone for all of the feedback so far! I am taking note of all of it, and I have many improvements planned for the future. The focus right now is getting the game to a stable place while tackling some easy balance/QoL changes, and then I'll shift the focus more toward more in-depth balance, QoL and content updates. This is a solo project and it may take some time to roll out all of the changes I have planned, so thank you all for your patience! Rest assured that I am reading all of the feedback and will be updating the game until it feels like it has struck the right balance for as many players as possible without losing sight of the core vision for Welcome to Elde…
