Valve makes its move! Steam Deck Update

A New Big Game Gets an Update that Boosts Steam Deck Graphics
Enshrouded is still "unsupported" on Steam Deck, but it just got a performance update and FSR3 - PC Guide
Indie RPG Enshrouded has recently unveiled its much-anticipated Update #3, promising a host of new features and improvements. While the update delivers on many fronts, it’s the performance enhancements specifically tailored for Steam Deck users that have captured our attention. Following these updates, there’s an argument for a Steam Deck ‘Playable’ rating at the very least.
On the surface, the addition of FSR 3.0 and new default settings would suggest a significant performance boost for the handheld out-of-the-box. However, early tests have revealed a less-than-ideal experience. In fact, the game’s performance on the Steam Deck using the developer-recommended settings is downright poor; but this can be remedied if you know what to amend.
There are a few big changes in terms of performance in the Back to the Shroud Update patch notes, particularly aimed at the Steam Deck:
Improved stability and performance on lower hardware specs and on the Steam Deck.
Updated the default settings for the Steam Deck. Please use the “Reset to Default” button to use the updated settings.
FSR3 is now supported and replaces FSR2. You can stop asking now.
However, performance on the new default settings seems to be lackluster, according to Steam Deck HQ. A quick dive into the settings reveals the culprit: point light shadows. This graphical feature, inexplicably enabled by default on Steam Deck, is a major performance knock. Disabling it immediately yields a much smoother experience, allowing players to comfortably hit the 30 FPS target while maintaining a 15W TDP limit. So, the new default settings can’t be recommended at the moment.
