Hades on Steam Deck OLED (Vulkan) - runs at 90hz 90 fps -

[Space Lynx]

I am confused how this is possible, because on Windows, on Linux, it is capped at 60 fps. I noticed that when I go to launch Hades on my Steam Deck there was a special option before it would launch the game, said "Steam Deck Vulkan" so I was like well I am on Deck OLED so makes sense I launch this way... was not expecting that to mean high refresh works. I can see it in game it is smoother than 60 fps...

So... SteamOS and Vulkan have special rules I guess that allow some frame caps in-game to be broken? I am unsure what is going, but it is welcome regardless.

@Canned Noodles @onemanhitsquad care to confirm on your Deck OLED's? assuming you own Hades anyway.

Erm… No it is not? I played Hades just recently and it ran at 165 FPS on my 165Hz display just fine out of the box. And even in EA it ran just as well. PCGamingWiki also doesn’t confirm any FPS locks as a sanity check, so if it was locked to 60 for you I am afraid it was a one off problem on your end.

hmm this is strange, when I run it on Windows it does show 165hz but the actual gameplay looks like 60hz... but on Deck OLED it looks smoother. I do not understand what is going on here heh

I think SteamOS and Vulkan might be working together to smooth some things out, I can tell in the character when I run around with him, I can see it is smoother on Deck...

That might be a bug that was present and I was sure was fixed. I remember a certain update around a couple of months post-release made the game jerky on my previous PC and it did feel like 60 even when it wasn’t. On new machine I did not encounter it, so I thought it was gone. It might be trying to force something, so you could try running it after turning off FSO and see if it helps. Additionally, I have no idea how it works on Radeon, but NVCP has a toggle to always prefer highest refresh rate. Since Hades doesn’t have an in-game refresh option maybe it’s assuming 60Hz and is trying to force it?

I don’t own that game, so I can’t help. Sorry. My brother has it though, so I’ll try to remember to ask him.
