undervolted in bios
game originally ran in 15 fps in the main menu
input latency
game feels borked at first with a main menu fps of 15, massive input latency and a huge voice sync issue with the cutscene of meeting the crew at the beginning. when changing the screen to borderless it finally starts functioning with 18-25 fps and loses the input latency that previously made me fail the breathing skill check i noticed that my device was not being used to the full of its potential as cpu was at 50% vram usage was only 2.8 gb and ram of 5.1 whitch indicates that there is a compatibility issue where something is causing a bottleneck. afterinstalling and setting up the cryoutilities 2.0 with the recommended settings, the fps jumped to 45-55 and this finally fixed the audio sync issue i was experiencing.
undervolting
small text
audio was out of sync for a few cutscenes
fulscreen tanked the fps to 15
18-25 fps on low, borderless setting
received "error game crashed" one time i left it running in the main menu
input latency on fullscreen setting
When the game starts up it feels borked, running on 15 fps with input latency and some cutscenes were completely out of sync.
Changing the game to borderless and low graphics increases fps to 18 - 25 fps and fixed the input latency, but the cutscene was still out of sync. The game seemed to not use the full potential of the steam deck but was still failing to get a decent frame rate so i installed the cryoutility 2.0 which increased the fps to 30-50 and finally fixed the voice sync issue, but it was still not using all the resources of the steamdeck. I was trying to play this game docked with a resolution of 1080p but when docked the fps dropped to 15. Disabling the fps limiter increased it to 18-25 but the sync issue came back. Upon further investigation I noticed that the gpu was running at 1600 mhz (thats the max) from the moment of opening the game. I then installed the Power Tools plugin from Decky Loader and disabled the SMT option which then brought the GPU usage down to 1300-1450 MHZ and finally fixed the sync and frame issue while being docked.
In the end I was able to get a stable 42 fps with a low of 30 and a high of 60 while being docked.
TLDR: Change graphics to borderless Disable frame limit for docked usage Install Cryo Utilities 2.0 Install Decky Loader Install Power Tools plugin from DL disable SMT option within PT
End Result: 42 fps Ram 5.6 Gb VRam 3.1 Gb CPU 31% - 3300 Mhz GPU 99% - 1400 Mhz
