"Launch Option" is not remembered after reboot #1006

Closed EdwinKM closed 1 month ago

I have game Sackboy. "Launch Option" (Properties -> General -> Launch Option) contains "SteamDeck=0 %command%" by default. Because of the stutters i want to add "-dx11". so "SteamDeck=0 %command% -dx11". I have to re-apply this change every reboot.

This is a known limitation for games that we have set default launch options for.

What GPU do you have?

EdwinKM commented 1 month ago

i think Rx 6600M. Hardware mini computer: minisforum HX80G.

Does the -dx11 option make that much of a difference? We can consider putting -dx11 as the default, but I'd like to understand the pros and cons.

EdwinKM commented 1 month ago

yes, AFAIK this is a known issue with unreal games and the Vulkan shaders.

In my case it improved:

the start logo, it was stuttery
a couple (like 5? for example the kindom of crablantis → Choral Reef) were really unplayable because of real low framerates

In did not really see drawbacks in quality.

Thanks. I also took a look at protondb where there are many similar reports to yours. I added -dx11 as the default.
