Please try uninstalling/reinstalling on your Steam Deck. Use the OpenGL (not Vulkan) drivers. If you continue having problems, try joining our discord at https://discord.gg/valheim and we'll help trouble shoot your situation.

I tried that already, OpenGL vs Vulkan, Vulkan performs better for me in comparison, I also tried using the Windows version with Proton, all different launch options etc. no changes. I tried the quirks documented online for changing some unity settings etc. It doesnt solve the problem.

My Steam Deck is fine, it's default configuration no modifications whatsoever, all other games work fine.

Steam Deck Verified means no tinkering and everything works great (it says default configuration has good performance in the verified description which is false it has not). I have been tolerating 20-25fps but I am pretty sure that's not good performance by any means. You want at least 30fps at all times for it to be "good" on a console device.

The game has a problem the developers need to fix, it's early access so I am waiting but Steam Deck Verified should drop IMO. It's at best "playable" if not unsupported performance-wise. Deep Rock Galactic is rated playable and besides some hard to read text it plays perfect at 60FPS at all times.
