Shrek 2

Performance, crashes, and Steam Deck

What is known by platform

PCGamingWiki, edited 13 November 2026, notes a startup crash workaround, Lux Engine, and a bug where PlayStation button prompts draw as Xbox prompts. TheGamer and GamesRadar on 11 November describe cutscenes that end early, stay in a window, or run at a low frame rate.

A pinned Steam post on 12 November says a hotfix targets crashes on Steam PC, Steam Machine, and Steam Deck. Replies under it still report controllers disconnecting, Remote Play failing, and crashes that remain. Those replies are one thread.

Steam Deck

The Steam store page I opened did not show an official Deck rating. The Deck Wizard video is a single OLED test at 30 FPS, not a Valve verification. Specs for the desktop build are on system requirements. Co-op controller trouble is also on co-op.

Questions

Does it run on Steam Deck?

A 10 Nov video shows a Steam Deck OLED holding 30 FPS on SteamOS 3.9.5. There is no official verified badge on the store page I checked.

Did the 12 November hotfix stop the crashes?

The post says it targets them. Replies the same thread say some crashes remain. Both lines stay.
