Valve is wasting no time fixing the current crashing and shader issues with the newly released Dead Space remake on the Steam Deck. It’s great to see Valve try to get these bugs fixed as quick as possible.
An initial set of pre-compiled shaders is now in place for Dead Space – the experience should be much improved now, especially on first run. The map crash issue is being investigated.

The update will be automatically queued within a few hours, or immediately upon Steam restart. Proton Hotfix is automatically selected for Dead Space, so this requires no user intervention.
