Steps
- Assuming you’re running the game via “the launcher”
- go to desktop mode (big picture mode doesn’t allow changing settings),
- run the launcher,
- go to General settings, scroll down to DXVK Version and download/choose the latest “Async” version from dropdown
- Close settings and launcher
- now you may go to steam big picture mode and run the game
If it doesn’t work go to Environment section and type DXVK_ASYNC=1 %command% into the first text form
Result
Before the changing dxvk version, game ran at 45 FPS on medium/low settings with frequent stutters dropping to 10 FPS at newly entered locations, now it runs at 55-60 FPS in the world and ~40 in crowded cities with no preloading drops in FPS.
| FPS Before | FPS After |
|---|---|
| 10-45 on med/low | 40-60 on med/high |

How do you like Genshin on the steamdeck?
I sent the link to launcher in DM. Anyone interested may dm me. This is a necessary precaution to avoid MHY sueing the dev
For those who finds this post in the future: try googling genshin launcher on linux/steamdeck
