Hi painters!
I've been hard at work on a performance patch since release. The goals are to give more graphical options, improve framerate, reduce loading times, reduce memory usage, and fix memory leaks (which might be the cause of crashes on Steam Deck).
This patch is now available on the Beta branch of Été. The full instructions to download it and the full changelog can be found on this Steam Discussions post.
While this patch is a large step in the right direction, there is more that could be done. However, further optimizations will take significant time to implement and I wanted to make sure the community had access to at least a functional beta before the Holidays.
I hope this makes your Été experience smoother this holiday season! Cheers!
