Did FromSoftware optimize it for Steam Deck or just Windows?

Embarrassing. Maybe they can hire a couple engine developers with all this new money.

Steam Deck. It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine.

From soft didn't do shit. Valve optimized it for Steam Deck.

Someone from Valve really wanted to play Elden Ring on the go!
Can Valve implement what ever they did to the steamdeck version to the full pc release?

How nice from Valve. I take it they'll do the shitty work for all devs now? Lets them save some time and money.

I ask because Proton is just a compatibility layer for Windows games to run on Linux. It’s good, but I imagine it’s not perfect. I think asking if FromSoftware specifically optimized the game for Proton is valid, but you do you.

Ok, just so this is answered, no From didn't do anything. Valve are the ones who optimized the Proton layer.
Going by From's track record on all of their previous releases, they will not do anything. It will be up to third parties and/or fan mods to fix their janky engine.

Dude's such a POS. I absolutely hate that there are actual idiots supporting this kind of behavior too. There's other ways of pointing such things out that don't require cheating. Between shit like this, and the other nonsense that was going on, I don't regret playing offline sometimes.

I understand the frustration, as this type of problem has affected all of us in some way, but is it really fair to put Elden Ring’s Deck performance on the developer when it’s Steam that controls Proton’s optimization?
adamsapple

From's tech issues go far beyond Steam Deck, Valve just happened to put in the extra work to optimized it on Steam Deck in this case.
It'll be a little odd of Sony, MS have to have their internal teams do patch work on games released on consoles.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
720p30 w/ dips into the 20s..
But no stutter!
I dunno.. I've played a bit on PC and not sure I'd trade the random stutter (that is only occasional to me) for 720p20-something-ish.

Yes, but we’re not talking about Sony, MS, or regular Steam here. We’re talking about Steam Deck.

The point is these are issues present in the Windows version, and they are fixable issues.
The article is pointing that out; not that Valve is fixing issues specific to Steam Deck.. they are fixing issues with Windows Elden Ring by using Proton's translation layer to "fix" things that From could fix in Windows.
That's where you are kind of wrong.. this thread is in fact about both Steam Deck, and "regular Steam" aka the windows version of Elden Ring.

Well consider it runs like complete shit on Windows it looks like From didn't optimize for either.

Why can't From Software just fix this once and for all? Maybe they need to take a little pause for an engine tune up

Crazy, that Alex had the same issue I was having where the game paused for 2 split second pauses then speeds up. Turns out its to do with either your device manager refreshing and causing the game to stutter, or i have heard it can be caused by the Xbox app on windows 10/11.
I fixed mine as it was a dodgy printer driver causing my printer to refresh every few minutes in my device manager. Supposedly the Xbox issue is the way games use virtual disks.
I'll put money Alex is having the same issue I was having. Now its fixed my game runs just like Rich's.

I'm more curious now how come we aren't looking at Microsoft's side for the fuckup of an API and OS if Valve can modify their own OS to improve on this??
Sure, please From, improve however you can, but seriously, Microsoft looks bad here too. It seems to be truely either a bad DX12 version that maybe DX12 ultimate for ray tracing will fix, or it's API/OS side of things which i'm not sure FS can really do something?

When I said that people should stick with proton on steamdeck instead of installing windows because that is what valve would support, they thought I was crazy. I am crazy, but it turns out not for saying that.

I have the same issue, tried to disable a bunch of stuff in device manager and couldn't resolve it...
Playing on PS5 until I can find a solution, or From gets their shit together.

Those long posts don't cover that red neck boy
With the Switch being a portable X360, its nice knowing the Deck is going to be a portable PS4 at 800p.
Seriously just having cutting edge running with very little cutbacks is huge. Part of what the Switch drove was taking PS360 games and run them near-flawless, and PS4/XBO with significant compromises.
With Deck, the latter is now mitigated.

have you got two monitors at all?
can you open up device manager and have it on another screen and see if it refreshes just as the stutters happen?
also, do you have the Xbox app installed and Xbox games installed? deleting Xbox games and the app fixed my friends copy.
also, the app that was messing my game up was HP Smart for hp Printers and specifically the hp printer driver for my wifi printer. I had to uninstall the printer from device manager and make sure to tick the remove driver option.
hopefully you can sort it as it was doing my head in. Smooth sailing now though. Plus I’m building my new pc tomorrow so wish me luck haha.

You damn green ratsSooo does that mean playing it on Linux is better than windows now?
. But this is an interesting question. Maybe it does run better, or just precompiled shaders on the deck? Maybe this continues on? Microsoft just released the direct storage api on windows, so here's to hoping. Still runs better than console, but would love to get everything fully functional.

Sounds like not because Valve have precompiled the shaders specifically for steamdeck hardware and with Linux desktop you will still probably need to compile the shaders for whatever you have when you play.Sooo does that mean playing it on Linux is better than windows now?

SO I do not want to jinx anything but after uninstalling that HP driver and literally every xbox game I had on PCUpdateschaseroni ??
it kept happening.
I opened device manager like
DenchDeckard
mentioned and played the game in windowed mode, and I saw immediately when the game hung up, device manager was refreshing.So then I uninstalled the Xbox app itself, and SO FAR it has been very smooth and hasn't hitched like that again.
I will update this post if things change but holy crap, this might be it

Well ER and many games will just run better on Steam OS on the Deck.
But people really do need to understand this thing is gonna run a lot of modern games at 720p30 regardless.. I have had a Deck since early December and find it incredibly underwhelming perf wise in general.
That's been my experience with a ton of sort of "new entry" "handheld gadgets".. the first pre-smartphone handheld internet devices were terrible and barely worked yet all had rave reviews lol

What time is it?
It's mostly about how undercooked the Windows experience is on Deck. My GoG library is massive.

No. Basically it's a faulty engine trying to sniff everything everytime something is added or removed from your PC. A driver addicted, if you will.

Just Steam Deck which isn't windows so I'm not sure what Valve did that From didn't.

Crazy how people can say this when there are lots of examples using windows and DX12 working great.
It's obvious DX12 requires specific work to be done that From are not used to do. Improving a game at driver-level, which is what this essentially is, has also been done in Windows for all major releases so I'm not sure this can be seen as a faulty piece on either Windows or DX12.

fingers crossed for you! It’s deffo something to do with how Elden ring and from soft games scan for hardware changes Every few minutes.
You would have noticed that you had the exact same stutter symptoms in sekiro and dark souls 3. It’s something they changed in their engine in the last year as I completed sekiro like 4 times on this same pc when it launched then I went back to it last week to test and it was doing the exact same thing like Elden ring, same for dark souls 3.
hope it’s worked and you can now enjoy this incredible game!

A week ago, a developer walks into Valve building:
"Man Elden Ring is really fun, but it runs like ass on the Deck"

So, hang on: If a piece of software happens to work correctly under certain circumstances, then its not bugged?
Or does that only apply to games, and not OS elements or features? Because they seem fundamentally the same to me.
