Whitelist Request

  • Sons Of The Forest
  • Steam AppID of the game: 1326470

System Information

  • GPU: <RTX 2060>
  • Video driver version:
  • Distro version: <Arch Linux 6.12.21-1-lts>
  • Proton version: Proton 9.0-4

I confirm:

  • [ yes] that pressing the Play button in the Steam client is sufficient.
  • [ no] that runtime config options are necessary to run the game.
  • [ no] that no workarounds other than PROTON_* env variables are necessary.

Issues

Although I consider the gaming experience equal to Windows there are remaining issues:
when opening inventory fps decreases massively
and this is the only issue
every other place or activity has good quality and fps

  • I noticed that after a longer time of playing 5-15m the problem disappears by itself and the equipment has smooth fps

my note

the game works great all the time it is practically the same performance as on windows
only when opening the inventory in the game the fps drops drastically this is the only problem I think it can be fixed and the game can be supported on steam deck after repair

I think it's a very popular game so fixing this bug and supporting it on steamdec will help a lot
I would dream of playing sons of the wornest on such a cool little console in a warm bed

if any additional information is needed please contact me here
