Character Slowdown?
I'm playing this game on the Steam Deck and loving it, but I'm noticing a problem. Maybe it's just me, I don't know. But I watched videos on Youtube of this and it looks like people are playing it perfectly fine, with no character slowdown at all, normal speed. But for me the game is running fine, backgrounds and all (even the rain in the Preserve stage), but the only thing that's weird is the character, Hal, and all of his attacks and everything, it's like he's walking and attacking through molasses. It's so slow. It's nothing game breaking, and it actually helps with dodging attacks due to the slowness, but every video I watch on this game the speed is perfectly fine with everyone else. Is anyone else having this issue at all, and if so what do I have to do to fix it? Do I have to run a certain Proton or anything to make it work properly? Thanks all!

I don't know if it's the same problem but, In some missions your character conveniently can't make jumps unless you try a hundred times. Especially when on final stages or near bosses. I feel like the level of difficulty effects how Hal interacts. You know in the old days, many games cheated to make it harder. Could this slow down be the case?

I just tried the demo and have the same problem. The game does not run at the normal speed that I can see from the trailer or other video footage.

I'm not using a Steam Deck, but a rather weak system (with only integrated graphics) that nonetheless fits the minimum requirements on the Steam store page.
