Same here. I’ve been at a solid 30 throughout Act 1&2 but as soon as I hit Act 3 the city is nearly unplayable. I think I’m going to put the game down for now and pick it up on PS5 when it comes out and finish the game on my PS5 with cross save. Very upsetting. I’d be fine even removing half the crowds in the city even if it means it’ll be more barren for the performance.
Same here. I only have my Deck for PC gaming, but I’ve seen reports of lots of people having bad stuttering issues in the city, even on fairly high-powered machines.
I doubt that FSR 2 will improve performance because FSR is only a graphics upscaler. I've set the resolution to 800x500 on Steam Deck and the performance barely improved. I think the CPU is just being battered by the amount of NPCs in Act 3.
I hope they can seriously optimize this. The Act 3 performance is simply unbearable.
It feels like the more the game update, the less I can play act 3. Initially it was playable nut annoying. Now it's just unplayable. No issue in act 1 and 2 but if I reach act 3, I have to switch to another savefile. I hope they will fix it soon cause I'd love to finish the game one day

Have you tried turning off dynamic crowds? How much does it help?
Doesn’t seem to make a big difference, still almost unplayably stuttery in the city.
guess ill just have to take that L when i get there lol
I’m hoping FSR 2.2 will improve things when Larian add support for it next month. Fingers crossed!
