Steam Deck Low FPS When Using as Non-Steam Shortcut
Describe the issue as detailed as you can. Below is a list of questions that should be answered in the description (if they apply).
- Is the problem OpenMW specific or does it also happen in vanilla Morrowind? N/A
- What is your operating system? SteamOS on Steam Deck
- What version of OpenMW are you using? 0.48.0
- What version of Morrowind are you using (i.e. retail CD or Steam)? What addons (Tribunal, Bloodmoon) do you have installed? What language is your Morrowind install? Steam, English
- Do you use any mods? If so, does the problem also occur in a clean vanilla install without any mods? No mods
- What are the exact steps to reproduce the problem?
- Download Morrowind and OpenMW 0.48.0 on the steam deck
- Launch it as a non-steam shortcut
- See low fps once you click New as soon as you get into the intro gameplay
- What did you expect to happen? What happened instead?
- When playing OpenMW (using the binaries here for Linux: https://github.com/OpenMW/openmw/releases/tag/openmw-0.48.0), if I go into desktop mode and launch them directly, I get very high fps (100+). If I take the same binary and add it as a non-steam shortcut, the game drops to 40-50 fps, and barely sometimes 60. The menus will go much higher, but actual gameplay is much worse fps wise. This issue happens in both desktop mode and game mode, when launching this from steam.
- I also created an issue with SteamOS, in case it was an issue with Steam itself: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/1102
- Are there any error messages in your
openmw.log
file? If you're not an OpenMW team member, it's best to upload it. No - What settings do you use? If you're not an OpenMW team member, it's best to upload your
settings.cfg
. Default settings, I used the launcher and didn't touch any settings. - Where is the in-game location this problem can be observed? Intro gameplay as soon as the video is complete, after you click New (in the ship).
