Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault Update Optimizes Steam Deck and Eases Difficulty
The latest hotfix for Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault brings initial performance improvements, pre-tuned Steam Deck settings, and a more forgiving Easy Mode. Developers also reduced the cost for the first Endless Vault challenge.
Digital Sun released its first balance and performance hotfix for Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault. The update targets stuttering on PC, optimizes default configurations for handheld play, and adjusts early game progression milestones.
Steam Deck and Performance Improvements
The update delivers a first round of performance adjustments designed to reduce hitches and stuttering on PC. For Steam Deck users, the game now applies pre-tuned default settings for stability right at launch. However, switching between Steam Deck and PC may automatically reset PC graphics settings to Low, requiring players to manually raise them again.
Balance and Progression Tweaks
Easy Mode is now more forgiving, reducing enemy damage and health. The Herald boss fight received adjustments to feel fairer while retaining a challenge. To help players reach new content faster, the coin requirement for the first Endless Vault challenge drops from 10,000 to 7,000 coins.
Quality of Life Updates
Ultrawide display compatibility is fixed for 3440x1440 resolutions. A cursor lock option is added to improve gameplay across fullscreen, windowed, and borderless display modes.
Why this patch matters
By lowering the barrier to early shop upgrades and softening Easy Mode, this patch adjusts opening hours for players.
