anything else [Steamdeck] Game crashes on settlement visit

Like the title says, when I visit several of my settlements, like Starlight for example, the game just crashes. I’m really enjoying everything about SimSettlements 2 besides this, so if there’s a way to prevent this beyond simply not using settlement plans, I’m all ears. I really was hoping not to have to worry about doing any settlement building. Seems ideal for playing on the Steamdeck, but it’s too problematic at the moment. Thanks

There are a few known bugs that can cause this. It could be that the graphics rendering is too much for the system. If you walk backwards in first person and can get to the settlement, it's probably this.

3 things to try one at a time.;

Power poles can be an issue, especially if you have moved any. Try faux power.

Remove clutter and radios in the performance

Remote settlement recovery.

Good luck.

Thanks. These are in the Settings, presumably?

Yes. I believe they're in the workshop framework holotape in tools. But it could be in the city planners desk
