A game with a big memory leak problem like this should really not be listed as verified. Anyway, thank you so much for all of your work! You are amazing dude.

Verified doesn't mean it needs to run perfectly but meet steam verification requirements

Amazing and throughout video as always! Hoping for your success man! Also i have a suggestion, i think it would be really nice if you can make a video about tweaking the best settings of every popular emulators for steamdeck, like the best general setting per emulator because i noticed the settings of emulators are not really optimized for steamdeck by default. But I saw the switch game emulation video and it was amazing as well!

I’m new to PC gaming and the steam deck is my first real gaming PC type device. I’m just now learning about God of War’s problems on the steam deck and this memory leak sounds concerning to me. Though I haven’t experienced any major issues yet with the game, I’m aware that many people are saying that the game crashes with inevitable memory leaks. What exactly is a memory leak? And does it damage the device internally in any way? This video is great by the way! Someone recommended this video to me so I can get this game running well. When I have time, I’ll try these settings out

@cryobyte33 Год назад

Thank you for watching! A "memory leak" is when a program starts using some memory and then doesn't "release" it when it's no longer needed. Eventually all your memory gets full and it can cause crashes, but it won't harm the device in any way. It can also cause performance issues, because the more "full" the memory is, the harder it is for the program to request new memory. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have, or join the Discord if you're interested!

@artusanctus997 3 месяца назад

The way you explain your benchmarking process is very therapeutic, and easy to digest for non-IT people like me. About cryoutilities, however, I heard that SteamOS 3.6 might make it obsolete since the swap file fix will be defaulted for the latest update. Do you have plans to update your software if that happens?

@cryobyte33 Год назад

If it was caused by a recent OS update, then chances are we need a Proton version to fix it. That said, you may want to try using CU2 as it'll at the very least stave off any memory crashes. Thanks for watching!

@ZodiakSL Год назад

I've noticed that the Decky plugin for System Toolbox, the setting for Linux Huge Pages does not stay on. I don't know if the setting just doesn't save at all but if you turn it on and reboot, it will revert to OFF every time. Is there a way to do this manually in desktop mode to force it on all the time?

@cryobyte33 Год назад

Interesting, mine has stayed on through reboots, maybe you have a sticky value somewhere? As for doing it in Desktop mode, you'd need a custom sysctl unit or to modify /etc/sysctl.conf directly and add: vm.nr_hugepages = NUM Replace NUM with the number of pages you want the max size of a hugepage to be. This is a good idea for an improvement to CryoUtilities, though 🤔 Thank you for watching and for the idea!

@svrvegasblackops Год назад

Hey man I've been watching since very early on and I just wanna tell you to keep at it, you're doing genuinely great work and I honestly see a very well deserved successful channel coming from this if you keep at it. A question though, because I might be incorrect but i was always under the impression that anisotropic filtering had negligible performance detriment even when maxed to x16 and on a lot of steam deck related videos I see people opting for x2 or x4, although in my opinion the cost savings are so negligible its just as well to have the increased fidelity at all times. Let me know your thoughts on if I'm incorrect I'd love to learn more

@cryobyte33 Год назад

Thank you for being an avid supporter of the channel ❤️ Anistropic filtering cranked to max on a normal GPU is "free", but it does take some VRAM. That VRAM distinction is what makes lower values perform marginally better, particularly in lows, on the Steam Deck. Speaking directly to God of War, I noticed that some lag spikes were up to 14% worse with anistropic filtering maxed out, which I suspect is due to swapping assets out more often. Thank you again for watching everything, and I hope this helps!

@svrvegasblackops Год назад

@CryoByte33 hey I was doing some fiddling with Aniso just last night on RDR too and actually got a huge stability increase when playing RDR2 at 4x rather than me just habitually setting it to 16. I was playing through the beginning and even with the snow which tends to be a pretty stressful point graphically I was able to maintain a locked 45fps/45Hz refresh rate whereas I was teetering on 37-40 with Aniso set to max so being able to squeeze some last extra frames for stability was a huge surprise! And on such a small screen I guess it was the right call because my blind ass could not tell a single difference in visual fidelity at 4x haha thanks so much for the new info and I'll be sure to be fiddling around with this setting in the future more as a result. Thanks Kyle have a happy holidays!

@cryobyte33 Год назад

I already did a C77 deep dive before the latest patch dropped, it should still be pretty accurate 😉 Thank you for watching!

@calvinbun2277 Год назад

Hello, I have a question to ask (I'm not really tech savvy so forgive me if I get anything wrong) In most of your deep dive videos, I noticed that putting a 30 fps cap would help flatten the frametime graph Is it safe to assume that most games would have a similar flat line if you cap the game at 30fps due to the extra breathing room for frame pacing? As always, thanks for the excellent content!

@cryobyte33 Год назад

No judgement here, I'm here to help! That's correct. The GPU has a certain amount of "work units" or "operations per second", let's say. Limiting frames lets the GPU start working on the next frame a tiny bit earlier, so the frames get out right on time rather than "as soon as the GPU can get it done". Overall, it maintains a much more solid experience. The human mind is better at dealing with an exact interval to react, rather than a fluctuating one, so limiting frames really helps there. Hopefully this helps, thank you for watching!

@shodanargie1574 Год назад

Nice. Any chance for a dive into Dolphin Emulator? Performance is weird and apparently requires using power tools to turn off cpu cores to avoid stutter? Also, congrats on 10k subs. Ps a video on sd cards and their performance would be cool too

@pogchamp4542 Год назад

Does the game still require these changes? I have it installed on my steam deck but haven’t played on it long enough to see if it crashed because it just runs at just barely 30 fps no matter the settings at a completely empty area without enemies

@cryobyte33 Год назад

I haven't tested since recording this video, but there haven't been any game updates since then, and my users report that the crashes still occur on occasion. Even ignoring the crashes, the changes help general gameplay and smooth out framerates. Thank you for watching!

@jonassimon2469 Год назад

13:33 Is there any reason to go with 60hz? Wouldnt it feel smoother and save more battery at 40? Sorry i'm pretty new to the steam deck.

@cryobyte33 Год назад

Yup! Setting the refresh rate to a non-multiple of the current framerate means that you end up with uneven frame pacing. In the case of setting to 40hz and using 30FPS it would render 3 frames, then keep a frame on screen for an extra frame, then repeat indefinitely. Setting the FPS to a multiple, in this case 60, will just keep every frame on screen for refresh rate / FPS limit frames, in this case 2, which makes that the game will be much more responsive feeling. Hopefully this explained it well enough, let me know if I can shed any more light on it!

Hey, cryo, question, how do you handle Mesa on deck? I got a notification from Discovery to download a bunch of stuff but the updates for a bunch of os stuff including a mesa version, but it all crashed since i was out of internal memory space and it didnt refund me the remaining space. I had to hunt for and delete a hidden folder called .var (not the var section of the disc, its a hidden folder on primary) which presumably had the misinstalled updates to prevent my memory from becoming full. Upon searching I have 3 instances of Mesa installed according to discovery. Is this fine? or could i run into problems as some updates to system stuff (desktop mode in discover system tab which im guessing is linux shit, not a steam os update from gaming mode) apparently didnt finish. I checked for updates again and only a couple showed up. I did them. Should I be ok? From what i understand those updates are the purview of the steamos updater but for some reason they showed up in the system tab of Discover updates. Should i do something about it or reinstall?

Is this memeroy leak new? I played a solid 3-5 hours before I switched back to my PC, it ran ~40-45fps average on low and never crashed, but this was also about 2 months ago

@cryobyte33 Год назад

I'm honestly not sure, but I can say it's incredibly common from the ProtonDB reports, and from the more than 50 requests that I had to cover the game! Thank you for watching, and I hope my suggestions help you out, even if you aren't experiencing the crashing issues 🙂

@mikaeldannenberger6 Год назад

I'm very surprised by your video, since I never encounter any crashing problems, even using ultra settings..... I used the DXVK-ASYNC trick but as you said the perfs were the same...so I stay with this simple settings wich is working for me 100% of the play time: Graphics on standard, screen at 720p, no vsync, no fsr. In steam is menu: set to 30fps, and no tdp limiter... Just simply doing this I get a 30fps lock all the time, no heat on the SoC and no fan noise problems... (For info my deck is toggled on 4GB vram in bios) And that's all for me ;)!

@cryobyte33 Год назад

It seems like some people can play just fine, and many can't for some reason. ProtonDB has dozens of people reporting crashes, and I had over 50 requests for God of War, most of them citing the constant crashing, so I wasn't surprised when I had them too. After making the video, 3 people, yourself included, said they hadn't had any crashing issues, but I'm not sure why there's a discrepancy at all, but as long as you can play the game how you want to I'm happy 🙂 Thank you for watching!

Recently found your channel and love the videos you're making. Are you doing most of your testing off the NVME? I'm curious if you've seen any differences with some of these harder to run games loading from the SD card.

@cryobyte33 Год назад

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Before testing each game I check if the SD card makes any difference to gameplay, but the only difference that I've noticed during my deep dives is loading times. Having a game installed to SSD tends to speed up game boots and loading by between 5-20%, depending on the game, but the performance boost from having the files on the SSD is cancelled out by swapping that happens during those situations. That said, my SD card is middle-of-the-road, so results might be different on worse, or better, microSDs and I haven't had the opportunity to test that yet 🙂 Hopefully this helps!

@redbeard1083 Год назад

@@cryobyte33 Thanks for the helpful reply. It's genuinely surprising to see the SD card not end up being a bottleneck in itself. Good luck with the channel! I know I'll be following along for sure.

@lorus0024 Год назад

So I got GOW today and immediately came to look for your settings. I followed the steps you described. Now there are differences like I'm on version 3.4.4, I'm not sure about the DXVK version (but I did get the mod fix and version you suggested), I have no clue about Mesa and GOW is the latest version on steam. At time stamp 8:13 I followed you from Home>.local>share>Steam>steamapps>common and GOW is not in the common folder as yours is. So IDK where to find it to install the .dll"s and async files you show. I just stopped and thought I'd try to contact you before trudging forward. Hope you can help. Thx in advance.

@cryobyte33 Год назад

Hi! I emailed you back, but I'll also post my answer here so others can see it. It sounds like you installed GoW on your microSD, the path I showed was for it being on the SSD. Yours should be in /run/media/mmc0p1/steamapps/common, or something very similar to that, my deck is currently in the middle of testing so I can’t confirm. That said, the mod didn’t do a lot of good in the video so I’m not sure if it’ll help that much 🙂 Thank you again for watching, and I hope this helps!

@stubstunner Год назад

I hope more people catch on to using FSR to boost frames. I recommend choosing a resolution lower than 1280x800 native and then using FSR at 1-4 I’m currently playing GTA at 110-120 fps on high. I haven’t had any issues with God of War where I’m running just below native on High getting anywhere from 40-55 frames.

@cryobyte33 Год назад

I've tested FSR in all of my videos, and most of my "smooth" and "battery saver" presets use them. God of War's FSR tends to be VERY messy when moving, so I don't recommend it for my "prettier" settings. Thank you for watching and sharing your experiences!

Do you think steamos can handle the resolution of a switch oled? The color representation on the stock steam deck screen sucks

@cryobyte33 Год назад

The Steam Deck's resolution is actually higher than the switch OLED, but OLED panels have different heat and voltage properties, so a simple screen swap probably isn't possible. That said, check out the VibrantDeck decky plugin. It makes the colors MUCH better, and is a game-changer. Thank you for watching!

Hey Cryo, great video as always. I have a request, can you take a look to UV the steamdeck? Aparently it can be done, a few days ago there was a post on reddit showing how to do it at a BIOS level.

@cryobyte33 Год назад

Heya, thanks for watching! I REALLY want to do that, but it requires Smokeless_UMAF, which has a small-but-not-zero chance to brick your Deck completely. I'm confident that I can do it, but I can't take a risk on it with only 1 Deck supporting this whole channel. As soon as I can get another Deck, I will 100% be doing UVs, OCs, and PID tuning. Thank you for the suggestion, and sorry I can't get to it immediately 😓

@Rolling_Pandas Год назад

@MiFonito Год назад

Was waiting for this. One thing about the memory leak. On Desktop PC its different story, GoW runs butter smoooth. So this looks like some mischief of Proton maybe? (Just guessing). Also comparing GoW and Horizon which one you think is better? In relation to Steam deck performance/visual achievable vise? As well another top notch video!

@cryobyte33 Год назад

Welcome back to the channel! I think that they use DX11 in an odd way, relying on Windows' GC (garbage collection) to take care of the memory for them, rather than actually programming the game to do it manually. I've heard that the PS4, where these games were originally published, automatically does GC for you and it's slightly more efficient that way. Unfortunately, if your PC isn't a very specific spec or you're running through Proton then the GC doesn't work properly and it basically loads the entire game into memory. I have a lot of theories and musings on it, better served in a Discord or dedicated video, but in general I think that they're a bit sloppy as ports go 😅 As for which I think is the better port, I'd say Horizon, even with the dips we could usually get a solid lock and it didn't light the CPU on fire in the same way, despite having more complex AI. As always, thank you so much for being a longtime viewer, and I'm glad that you enjoyed the video! 😁

@MiFonito Год назад

@@cryobyte33 Beautiful and informative answer! For the Deck I agree from what you presented Horizon looks better but on PC personally I would say GoW is much better.

@heisenbugx Год назад

Thank you so much for covering this! People ask about this one so much on reddit so I'm sure that the community will be ecstatic. When I played through it about a month ago, I think I landed somewhere around your prettiest settings recommendations with a locked 30 and it rarely dipped to 28/29 for a very few instances throughout the game. Additionally, I think that you could also keep those same settings, but drop the res to 720p and lock the refresh rate to 40hz and have a similar experience as above at 40fps with rare dips to 38/39, although I hadn't tested that one as thoroughly as the 30 option, if you wanted to keep the "prettiness". I wanted to bring that option up in the event that someone preferred it for whatever reason, but you unfortunately wouldn't be running at native res anymore so there is a trade off. Not saying that it's better than your recommendation by any means, just offering additional insight, hope that's okay. I appreciate all of your hard work and the education that you provide so much! You're awesome. I look forward to the next one as I do every week! Waiting on the edge of my seat for The Witcher 3 update video lol

@cryobyte33 Год назад

Of course that's okay, thank you for the insight! I did test lowering to 720p and it did help a bit, but the main bottleneck being the CPU really hurts our options, since a lot of the volumetric effects and AI are the same regardless of resolution 😞 Thank you for continuing to be a major supporter of the channel, I always look forward to hearing your thoughts and I hope to see you around for a while more. As for the Witcher update, trust me that it's a major priority for me to cover as soon as possible 😉
