I’ve got the latest patch, and this game runs pretty okay.

I’m seeing a pretty stable 30 FPS everywhere, which is all I really need. However. Hair looks abysmal.

I know for FFVII Remake there are some mods that people recommended on Proton DB.

I’ve got FSR enabled and have all settings (except character models) set to low.

I do see a “Stuipdly Simple Optimizer” and texture packs. Are these anything you have used before, and to what effect on Deck?

Edit: set my min resolution to 66% and the hair looks better, but frame rate is now a bit choppier than I’d prefer. Guess Sephiroth will have to wait more while I tinker with settings more haha.

I've had good luck with some performance optimizing mods. Some don't really do anything, but others will do things like disable lumens (in UE5 games) and get rid of some particle effects. Can make a pretty noticeable improvement to performance, and let you raise some of the other settings.

    You could try a Decky plugin combined with a paid program. It has made a huge difference for me on games that are poorly optimized. YMMV

    LSFG is available to purchase on Steam, but you’ll have to set it up a little bit manually and then set the option to use it in the properties of each game.

    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.

    It impresses me how far Linux gaming has come as well as what we’re all able to squeeze out of the Deck in 2026.

    I think we agree that keeping a solid framerate is more important than having a high framerate.

    I hope you get it Squared (I’ll see myself out)!
