Where Winds Meet continues to be a big hit on Steam and it works quite well on Desktop Linux but it needs a lot of improvements on Valve’s Steam Deck.
On Steam Deck even with various settings dropped down and upscaling, the performance in various parts is just not playable with drops down to 20FPS and at times below. Thankfully, for any fans of this free to play RPG, there’s plans from the developer Everstone Studio to get things into better shape

The developers have a standalone “lite” version of the game that apparently runs much better on the Deck’s hardware. However it’s not available through steam, you instead have to install the launcher directly from their website.
When the devs say they plan to improve deck support, I wonder if they’re just going to make the lite version available on Steam, or port over some of the optimizations from it.
