Low fps in steam deck desktop mode?

[Banjo]

Is anyone else having an issue trying to play the game in desktop mode on the steam deck and getting really low fps? if i switch back to gaming mode the fps shoots right back up. What would be the best solution to fix the lag on desktop mode?

I've also had slowdown when playing the game at fullscreen or windowed at scales above 6 on PC.

I don't have an answer, just a question. Why play ganes in desktop mode?

I enjoy watching videos/streams with certain games and this is one of the few indie games i have issues with when trying to play it in desktop mode/windowed side by side with an internet browser

Browsers use a lot of RAM and even moreso with a video playing. You're probably bottlenecked. I played 2 hours last night docked in Desktop mode but only UFO 50 running and it was just fine.
If you haven't run Cryotools this may help as it changes how memory swapping is handled. If you have and you've made the BIOS change to reserve 4GB for VRAM you may try putting it back to the stock 1GB reserve to free some up since it's unlikely that UFO 50 needs that much. But at the end of the day if it's running out it's running out and swapping is going to happen and slow everything down.
