DEMO performance is beyond awful on SteamDeck

I really hope some optimization will be implemented for the full release as currently this is borderline unplayable

It's an UE5 game. UE5 runs like colossal ass even on better hardware. If you wanna experience Total Chaos on the Deck your better option is to set up GZDOOM and play the original TC that was a total conversion for DooM

Edit: Looks like it's Unity not UE5. I was wrong about that. Last I heard about this standalone remake of that Doom mod was that it was being done in UE5. I could be misremembering or I was going by old information

No, you are correct, the announcement for the game was under UE5 - I remember this from around three years ago? Clearly stated UE5 as the engine of choice. I suppose, at some point, the decision was to utilize Unity instead. There's been old information used to discuss TOTAL CHAOS but it is indeed Unity.

That may explain the low requirements, and the fact the game performs as good as she does on my RIG.
