Snow Plowing Simulator Slows, Freezes, and Crashes on Steam Deck

[codeweaverwill]

Snow Plowing Simulator slows the Deck to a crawl during initial loading, briefly utilizing 100% GPU, before eventually crashing. This does not occur on my desktop (AMD, Arch, KDE/X11) or ROG Ally (AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme, Windows 10).

Not seeing anything DXVK related in the log like your quote would suggest, but this sounds like the game just uses significantly more memory than the Deck has? Should be visible in the performance metrics.

Yeh that's what I'm referring to. Can't really do much if the game just exhausts memory to the point where we can't even queue up a GPU submission.
