[KCD2] How Come Nobody Talks About The Micro Freezes on The Steam Deck?
Using Steam Deck OLED 512 GB variant here. Free roaming in both Trosky and Kuttenberg regions sometime do get mico freezes (0.5-1 seconds of freezing). These does not happen often but rarely, although it is still perceivable. The game is a blast on Steam Deck and I have 80 hours in the game (yet to meet the Devil band; I take my time slowly doing side quests) but those micro freezes are bothersome.
Things I did:
- Using the latest steam version.
- Forcing the use of Proton Experimental (still the same performance with the default proton)
In game settings:
-
No FSR
-
1280 x 800
-
Vsync 30 fps (turning off does nothing to alleviate the problem)
