Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Stutter Problems

I've been trying all day to get FFVII Remake Intergrade running properly on my Deck through Heroic. I've attempted to use Proton-GE with DXVK, but I didn't get any improvement. I also restored my default settings with the CryoUtilities program to see if that was negatively affecting anything. I'm currently using the "-dx11" argument, too. I'm just stumped at this point.

Shader compilation stutter is just something you have to deal with on heavy games like this unless you get it from Steam

SteamOS 3.5 (currently on main, not yet on beta or preview or stable) updates Mesa to where this will be further improved

Oh, okay. That makes sense. I was just confused because of how many people were running the game so well, but many of those people were probably on Steam and I didn't realize.

are you using heroic flatpak or app image?

wet-aqua•6/19/23, 5:17 PM

flatpak has the stuff required to fix the stutter

wet-aqua•6/19/23, 5:17 PM

it ships mesa 23.1

nursing-lime•6/19/23, 5:18 PM

good point, I forgot that was another flatpak dependency and not reliant on the main system

verbal-limeOP•6/19/23, 5:19 PM

I'm using the version from the Discover Store

nursing-lime•6/19/23, 5:20 PM

that would be the flatpak

So, is there anything that can be done? My Deck is dual-booted at the moment and a part of me feels like that has been hindering the performance on my Deck. I only say it 'cause I feel like every time I attempt to run games that other people do, my performance is just way worse. I know that I tried to run Resident Evil 4, and it running about 20fps worse than what I saw from some videos. I also know that with this game I've had a bunch of stuttering. It's just really confusing.

maybe switch to the main branch/beta branch in the steam deck settings

wet-aqua•6/19/23, 7:01 PM

it will probably help a lot in terms of performance

nursing-lime•6/19/23, 7:30 PM

Beta won’t have the new kernel or Mesa stuff. It is still only on main

verbal-limeOP•6/19/23, 8:15 PM

What's Main and how do I know if I have Mesa? I downloaded everything through Discover, and it's stuttery as hell regardless.

nursing-lime•6/19/23, 8:18 PM

main is the development branch that is more bleeding edge than the preview branch

nursing-lime•6/19/23, 8:18 PM

you will always have Mesa, but your version will be older than that on main

nursing-lime•6/19/23, 8:18 PM

Mesa is the AMD GPU driver

verbal-limeOP•6/19/23, 8:20 PM

Where do you get it?

nursing-lime•6/19/23, 8:22 PM

Enable Developer Mode in the System menu. In the new Developer menu, enable Show Advanced Update Channels. Back in the System menu, in Beta Participation, set the OS Update Channel to Main and the Steam Client Update Channel to Steam Deck Beta

nursing-lime•6/19/23, 8:23 PM

but in the grand scheme of things, if you're already using Wine-GE, you'd have most of the available fixes, and you're just going to have to deal with the stutters for heavy EGS-owned games

nursing-lime•6/19/23, 8:23 PM

it's better than before, but it's nowhere near the performance of pre-compiled shaders

verbal-limeOP•6/19/23, 8:25 PM

Alright. Well, thanks for the info! I'll probably just play heavy EGS games on my Windows partition instead anyway. It might be easier that way.

wet-aqua•6/19/23, 11:27 PM

I would imagine they would run better on linux (they do for me)

wet-aqua•6/19/23, 11:27 PM

But you do you
