Hi @balmy jewel, have you tried going through the steam deck section in #hades2-faq ?

balmy jewel
#

Yes. Have tried it all!

#

Have also tried vsync on/off, setting 60fps cap vs 90, fullscreen/borderless, etc. Even wiped my deck entirely.

Hades 1 however does not exhibit the issue. No stutter on auto save.

Okay, thank you! Could you send over your hadesII.log file so we can take a look into it? Located here: %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Hades II\Hades II.log

balmy jewel
#

Yes. I’m at work but will send this evening! How should I send to you? Via discord or an email?

abstract pawn
#

Discord works. It can be in here or DM

balmy jewel
#

Ok sounds good will send. Thanks

Hi Jonathan, here is the log file

abstract pawn
#

Thanks! Would you happen to be running in desktop mode, or dual booting?

balmy jewel
#

No to both q’s. I just used desktop mode to pull the file

abstract pawn
#

We aren't seeing anything off in the log file. Do you have the game installed on an external SD card?

balmy jewel
#

No. Internal ssd of steam deck.

#

I do see a frame time spike when the auto save happens

#

Hades 1 btw does not have this problem on my steam deck. No frame time spike during auto save 🤷‍♂️

abstract pawn
#

Interesting. How full is your internal ssd?

balmy jewel
#

I capture some video, but frankly in the video you can barely tell but when playing on device it’s more noticeable. That said the top left corner you can see a small frame time spike.

#

Not full. Got 400gb left

abstract pawn
#

Any add-ons, or decky?

balmy jewel
#

Nope. Only got decky to capture this video, and just uninstalled it

#

But as I said if you watch the video, you might not see the stutter besides the frame time graph

abstract pawn
#

Okay I see it

#

Thanks for the video

balmy jewel
#

I just tried again and the stutter was worse. Seems to be intermittent but yeah

abstract pawn
#

Does it still happen if the overlay is off?

#

The performance overlay

balmy jewel
#

Yep

#

Still happens

#

My save folder shows like seven backup saves for “profile 1”. Is that normal?

abstract pawn
#

Yeah that is normal

#

I was able to reproduce this on PC, so it's not unique to anything on your deck, or on steam decks in general

#

Good catch, thank you for reporting

balmy jewel
#

Ah. I wonder why more people haven’t reported it! I posted on forums, Reddit, discord etc. no one responded so just thought it was me 😂

abstract pawn
#

It's very very subtle

#

We'll get this logged and see if we can help it, thank you!
