Fashion Police Squad just debuted on Steam with “yellow” light for Steam Deck. It’s a fun dynamic old-school FPS with a very unconventional fashion vibe. Surprisingly, immediately after starting the game and selecting the difficulty, Fashion Police Squad just did not want to load. If the problem occurs with your Steam Deck then force Proton Experimental to fix it.
Hilarious Fashion Police Squad on Steam Deck – performance preview and potential fix for game lock-up
Fashion Police Squad on Steam Deck – Optimized Settings
What about the performance? Fashion Police Squad runs at 60FPS. However, stuttering occurs with:
– VSync On and framelimiter off
– VSync Off and 60FPS/60Hz SteamOS framelimiter on
– VSync Off/On and In-Game framelimiter
– Without VSync and framelimiter the game runs at 60-120FPS, but framepacing is tragic
Don’t get me wrong – performance isn’t bad, but could be much better.
Update 1: vblank_mode=0 command seems to be improving framepacing a lot with 50Hz/50FPS SteamOS limiter.
- Go to Game Properties and in LAUNCH OPTIONS write: vblank_mode=0 %command%
- Don’t use in-game VSync and Frame Limter – these settings offers the worst performance.
Make sure to use SteamOS 50Hz/50FPS Framelimiter (much more stable framerate compared to 60FPS). - Set Display Mode to: Exclusive Full Screen
- Other settings do not affect performance. GPU consumption does not exceed 60% at maximum details. If you want better battery life then you can reduce it.
