[Steam Deck] 60FPS
Any leads or findings on getting the game to run at 60 FPS on the Steam Deck? The game is capped at 30 FPS by default. Much appreciated in advance if anyone finds anything.

ive just bought it yesterday for my deck as it was only 3 pound something so not much lost if it was crash heavy but i wonder if is it actualy possible to run an old port with a higher frame rate? sorry im not well up on frame rate.

-i had the original ps2 and xbox 360 versions of bully and to my knoledge these were 30fps, i think the wii version was a straight up port to,i know theres the silent patch which helps with
the frame rate dropping and lagging and you just have to switch your deck to desktop mode and place it in the right folder to get it running,ive used the silent patch for another classic; manhunt but even in their modded form ive not been able to run them at 60fps, if you do find a way though please coud you post it? ill do the same to if i find anything.

just to further add incase anyones thinking of buying it now,i think its running quite well on the deck,i mean,i was expecting a lot of faffing around but for my setup it just works once you change the ingame resolution to fit the deck full screen.i found
there is a bit of jittery lag on the deck but in terms of frame rate drops it only drops to 28fps at
the most whether i use it with the horrible big borders or deck friendly full size resolution. not
had any crashes but ive seen some mentions of bullys instability on the proton db site.

Look in google for "bully 30fps cap patch" and you will have a solution. Be careful about downloading something from suspicious websites though.

it's the same patch as it is on windows.
learn how linux/wine works before using it lol.
Did you manage to get 60 fps on deck?

Use SilentPatch, it’s needed to have stable gameplay anyways.
I know, it works on PC but not on Deck

It does, it just has a few extra steps to use it. But it’s worth using it even if it may not be needed because it does alot more than fixing crashes, and fixing the crashes that occur on Windows 10 is also good because it can cause memory leaks.

It does
Did you manage to achieve that? If yes, please, tell me how. I've spent all evening yesterday and I'm still stuck on 30 fps using SilentPatch. I did achieve 60+ fps though using this guide, but it speeds up animations like twice so the game is unplayable

The only reason it wouldn’t work with SilentPatch is because it’s not installed correctly. If you’re on Steam Deck you have to put some command in the launch options for it to properly load the file. Go to launch options and type this into the command line: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %COMMAND%

Also a quick side note, don’t use the 60FPS exe with SilentPatch, it won’t work. It also runs twice as fast because it’s at an uncapped FPS, enable V-Sync in the game settings or cap it manually.

Totally forgot about the launch option, that should do the trick, thanks!

V-Sync is on and max FPS is capped on Deck itself, but yeah, I will delete that 60fps.exe, just tried different options while Silent didn't work for me
