Default configuration worked fairly well for me in my first hour. Perhaps it tanks significantly once your factory really gets into swing

It does. I only have 15 pals working and my deck is crying at 540p w/ fsr. Sub 20 fps around the bases, and takes a few seconds to unload resources and recover.

I find the locations funny. I don't have the game yet. Is this mod needed outside of windows as well?

I crash all the time. Trying this tomorrow. Talking hard reboot freezes 3 times tonight alone. Really annoying when I'm hosting the game my wife and I are playing on.

They need to fix the keyboard support too. I can't enter text with the on screen at all.

I haven't actually bought Palworld, but I've had similar issues with hard reboots in other games when I used up all my ram/vram. You might try increasing your swap file size and see if that helps.

I’ve had significantly less crashes using proton GE 27. The keyboard thing is very frustrating.

[–] LifeLikeLady@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Been using 25. Just downloaded 27 tonight after the last crash

I haven’t done a ton of testing yet but last night I installed the mod linked below and I’ve seen about 7fps improvement. https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/27/?tab=description

There are two options for “cartoon” graphics which weren’t worth the fps gain IMO. I recommend the normal graphics option marked ultra performance.

Weird I have had little to no stutters on mine, it's so nice to play it on the go

Now release a fix for dedicated servers eating 25GB of ram and crawling to 5-10FPS 🤓

[–] vanderbilt@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago

Oof. Memory leaks?

[–] vala@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I just started streaming it from my desktop. Too much for the deck IMO.
