I played through it probably a year and a half ago and it ran buttery smooth. Locked 40fps and all but I recently factory reset my steam deck so I lost all my settings.

Now I don’t remember what I had on or off but I’m basically playing on normal. With anti aliasing set to mxaa x2. But it was still chugging a lot. So I played around with the tdp and the gpu to see if it gets better and nada.

I then played around with the steam deck FPS lock and found that that’s what might be causing problems since when I lock it fluctuates a lot.

That also didn’t fix my problem though which is I want to play on a locked 40. So then I started switching proton versions.

I first tried proton 7 and proton 6 and they both were pretty much the same. Then I tried proton experimental and that fixed it for me. Now it’s running more like when I first play it a year ago.

I don’t remember switching proton versions for my first playthrough tho so I’m not sure what exactly happened. I do have all the NVIDIA settings off.

Anyways thought it was interesting and would share it here if people get the game.
