It’s not a steam deck problem, if palworld keeps leaking memory. I have seen that issue in my steam deck, laptop and on my friends dedicated server.
Ah, sorry - I saw mentions that Proton-GE fixes it in another reply, thought it was something else.
My statement does stand in general, any issues with Proton will reflect negatively on the deck - but I definitely spoke too soon here
No. It’s not a Proton issue or a Steam deck issue or a Linux issue. Palworld has a fundamental flaw on how it handling memory and asking for infinite ram. So it doesn’t matter what OS or what manufacturer made because all the devices have finite amount of ram and if you keep asking infinite ram, they will crash when they are out of memory to give.
And I don’t think palworld having memory issue will portray steam deck in negative light when the user comes to know it’s a game bug and not the device or its software bug.
Don't get me wrong, I know, I might not have been clear enough.
I do not think Palworld reflects negatively on steam deck - I was originally wrong, I didn't check what I was talking about, and edited my comment after I read your reply.
What I meant is, in cases where proton does fail, it does reflect negatively on the steam deck. It's not a statement of fact, and no longer relevant to the original message, but I was upholding that opinion from my original comment.
