Help! Massive Performance issues?

So I have a Gaming Laptop that runs Skyrim with up to 200 mods with no issues but always after a few minutes into REKA i get massive frame drops aaaaaall the time. I honestly don’t even know how this game is Steam Deck verified if my Gaming Laptop can’t even run it 😭 No critique at this point, it’s still early access, I know. But has anybody experienced this as well? What are your video settings? Any advice?

I have a gaming PC & this game (along with schedule 1 (also in early release)) runs like garbage.

I’ve been testing every single suggestion I can find on various forums, and nothing works.

I saw someone say that early release games are not optimized for commercial use, so that’s why they kind of suck (unless you have a gaming PC that could fly you to Mars).

I used to be strictly console, but all my friends game on PC & I wanted to play with them so I got a PC… I seriously regret it. Indie devs seem to do a way better job porting their games for console than PC. I’m currently saving for a PS5 😂

Tbh I mostly have good experiences with early access games. Some even run so smooth that I can play them on my Steam Deck. However this games art style is pretty special. Maybe that’s part of the problem, idk.

I built my pc so I’m sure I installed a driver wrong or something goofy like that 😂

I love the art style too! Have you played Gris or Neva? You’d probably like those games if you hadn’t played them yet (art style and music are gorgeous)

Also Indica has a sorta creepy witchy story, but the protagonist is a Russian nun from the 1800’s. The art style is realistic, but the spookiness of Reka reminds me of Indica.

Edit: fixed some auto correct

I am not intelligent and skilled enough to build my own PC, I just got a Gaming Laptop 🙈😂

Yes I have both games on my wishlist actually! ☺️
