The latest stable branch Steam Deck update has fixed multiple games.
On the fixing side of things, a focus issue in Forza Horizon 5 has now been patched, and graphical corruption issues present in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty and the Resident Evil 4 remake have also been fixed up.
The Resident Evil 4 fix is perhaps the big one of the bunch. When I played the demo on Steam Deck, Leon was constantly surrounded by Minecraft-like black pixels. No amount of settings tweaks or custom Proton versions could fix it either.
Thankfully, as I hoped, Valve has stepped in to fix whatever issue was causing the graphical corruption. Happy days!
Wo Long, meanwhile, also saw a similar fix, though when I tested the game out when the update was in the beta channel, this fix didn’t do anything for the inconsistent framerate, sadly. Oh well.
Feel free to check out the rest of the patch notes below.
