I’ve used this one before. Tbh I’m not having an issue keeping the 30 FPS and if I drop textures further I could probably tweak and get the game to run solidly at 40 FPS, so 60 would be easy with LSFG.
It really just the pop in and hair textures. Some candelabras in the Shinra Mansion were loading JUST the candle flames until I was about 2 feet away from them haha.
Out on the grasslands I’m seeing some lost frames, but I think getting a specific shader replacement for large textures, like mountainside, might be able to alleviate that.

No worries. Thanks regardless :)

Which ones? Just looking for a starting list

Yeah!
The more complex ones I’ve seen are Mass Effect and anything on the Resident Evil engine.
Anything with mod dependencies (like REframework) has some issues. I just kept having issues with crashing when trying to mod a skin for Diana in PRAGMATA and setting up a currency multiplier haha.

Most of the ones I’ve seen are the standard
“Drop this .pak in a ~mods folder” type mods.
But I only have a few mods. A texture to replace the buster sword with the metal Chocobo from Kingdom Hearts, a restore Tifa’s outfit to the OG version type mod (this removed the black undershirt thing), and one to get more materia in stores.

I should clarify I only got 100% exploration and beat the enhanced bosses in Unknown Signal for Pragmata. I could usually get the “important” rewards from the trials but gave up on some of them pretty quickly.
I hope they announce a sequel soon, but would be perfectly happy if it was a one-off game.
I’ve got some performance mod for E33 and it seems pretty solid. Only issue I’ve seen so far is that the hair all turns white in the character select menu. Manor might look funky too tbh. But I was getting a very stable 30 FPS in the prologue with solid looking graphics.
I also beat act 1 on Xbox about a year ago, but also haven’t touched my Xbox since I got a Deck… so I’m excited to play the prologue and act 1 again.

Just finished up Pragmata!
I was torn between Expedition 33 and FF7 Remake + Rebirth. And I think I’m heavily leaning towards FF7.
I haven’t played the originals, and really only know about
Tap for spoiler
Aerith.
So I’m excited to start it!
I grabbed a couple if mods (Less Grunting, Metal Chocobo for Buster Sword swap, and a DSR disabling mod).
If you recommend any others, let me know ^_^

Haven’t done multiplayer, but out of the box I was getting stable 30 FPS during the offline training

Disabling Steam Overlay fixed it. Thanks!
- Comment on Pre-installed Games 1 month ago:
I’ll try some additional ones.
But nothing in particular for the games I have been trying to launch.
- Comment on Pre-installed Games 1 month ago:
I’ve tried both 1 and 3, but will def try 2 as well.
- Comment on Pre-installed Games 1 month ago:
Alternatively you can add them as a non-steam game and run them through steam
This is what I was trying to do.
I have them all set up and installed on a Games folder in either my SD card or SSD (depending on the game).
I add to Steam for the .exe and run via Proton Experimental or Hotfix or 11.
Via Desktop, the game launches, shaders cache, etc. but the screen is frozen on a gray or black or white blank screen — if I tab out or use the system key, I can see the game running fine in the background.

I spent the entire weekend playing with these instead of gaming. 😭

Decky Plugins, I’d wager.
- Comment on Games in 4k? 1 month ago:
Sadly I don’t have anything stronger, unless you count an Xbox Series S.
The only gaming PC I have access to is a low/mid range one that was built circa 2016 and runs Wuthering Waves (my benchmark game) pretty on par with my Deck, ignoring resolution changes.

The try/die/repeat thing is what got me hooked on Elden Ring for a while. Maybe I’ll enjoy Hades more this time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on Games in 4k? 1 month ago:
I actually don’t have super strong opinions on Hades. Maybe it’s just because I have played gacha games with roguelike features, but it’s kind of frustrating to me to not be able to pick my build and properly level up or anything like that.
I’ll revisit Hades 1 this weekend and see if my opinion changes, however.
- Comment on Games in 4k? 1 month ago:
Good stuff. I don’t have Hades 2, but I assume Hades has comparable performance. I’ll give it another try this weekend.
- Comment on Games in 4k? 1 month ago:
Hey, fair enough. I’m not too much of a quality snob. I just really don’t like stuttering. Bugs the heck out of me haha.
- Comment on Games in 4k? 1 month ago:
Oh no. A new thing to install on my deck. This looks like so much fun.
- Comment on Games in 4k? 1 month ago:
I have both LFD2 and HL2. But not half life 1. How uh… Important is HL1?

Of the games mentioned, the F-Zero one seems the most interesting. I’ve tried to get into it the unmodded version several times over the years, but it never stuck. The controls always just felt way too slippery.
I ended up trying out RetroDeck after reformatting my deck a few weeks back. Flatpak install was pretty seamless, and I liked being able to save all my ROMs to SD card by default instead of my limited 256 SSD.
I have some of the GCN and GBA games I’ve always loved in addition to stuff I never got around to playing, like Jet Set Radio and Star Fox 64.
Of all my “games” on my deck, RetroDeck/Emulation Station had the highest playtime before I formatted, at 100 hours.

No, tell me your emulated recommendations!
I usually play Pokemon ROMhacks, but started playing Kirby Air Rider and Mario Sunshine.
Also Shadow of the Colossus. Granted none of the properly titled games are Retroarch, but I digress.

I picked up Control - Ultimate Edition a few months ago and beat it.
After playing God of War (2018), some of Hogwarts Legacy, and way too much Destiny and Destiny 2, I am very much tired of the:
“Upgraded gear makes you stronger and there are multiple rarity tiers of gear” mechanic.
I’m debating between playing Mass Effect Legendary (played the Original many times) or starting up FFVII Remake again — I’m about 7 hours into that one.

- Comment on What solution, if any, do you use for gaming in bed? 2 months ago:
I say regular, but it often gets pushed to the wayside for those things as well. Plus, not to mention our littlest often wakes up around 10 o’clock. Or 1. Or 4 if we’re lucky.
I also oftentimes stay up much later than I should to game or read 😅
- Comment on What solution, if any, do you use for gaming in bed? 2 months ago:
Thanks! Sadly, I don’t think this works well, cause I usually sit up and am awake while I play.
