2. DX11 (BETA) version is now included and can be accessed on the launch of the game. Please know that we do not recommend you to use this DirectX if the game runs well for you. We hope this DX11 to fix some of our player's problems.

What is new in DX11?
- SSS Skin Shader for Alicia and all Enemies

DX11 known problems:

3. Some of the areas may affect the frame rate much more than on DX9. Depending on the video card you are using.

Please help us to collect data from players on how DX11 performs or any problems that you may find here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/915600/discussions/0/3832045251555255507/

Hi guys,

This is a short announcement to let all Steam Deck users that Them and Us is compatible with this handheld device.

The game hasn't been officially verified by STEAM, but we did a full game verification ourselves on all 3 camera modes to make sure that there aren't any problems.

• All functionality is accessible when using the default controller configuration.
  
• This game shows Steam Deck controller icons
  
• In-game interface text is legible on Steam Deck
  
• This game's default graphics configuration performs well on Steam Deck

Running the game for the first time requires accepting the Epic Games EULA using the touchscreen.

If the divine chalices are not in your inventory, you need to get them once again for it to show up in the special slot. If the divine chalices are already in your inventory they will be showed now in the special slot.
