In this part of the video, the presenter outlines two essential steps to enhance the performance of a game on the Steam Deck. Firstly, they advise right-clicking on the game and choosing ‘edit graphic packs’ to download the latest community graphic packs, which include various enhancements and cheats. In the mods tab, enabling ‘FPS++’ is crucial for achieving a frame rate above 20 FPS. Although reaching a stable 60 FPS is not possible, it stays above 40 FPS, providing a significantly better experience.
Next, they recommend adjusting the graphic settings to low, especially the shadow draw distance, and caution to ensure the box is ticked. The final step involves placing the Shader cache in the correct folder: copy the .bin file from the Shader cache folder on your thumb drive, navigate to the Wii U emulator folder on your SD card, and paste the file into the Shader cache transferable folder. By following these steps, users can avoid errors, access all DLC content, and enjoy a performance superior to the Nintendo Switch.
