ESO frame rate drops

[qooldeluxx]

Hi i'm playing ESO on my steamdeck and Im experiencing frame rate drops every 10-11 seconds. outside off this strange consistent frame rate drop it runs smoothly with no drops. I had the game installed on my internal SSD, i'm going to uninstall and install it on my SD card instead and see if that makes a difference. Is anyone else having this issue or have a solution? I've seen various youtubers show off ESO on the deck and they are getting consistent 60 FPS without the frame rate drop every 10 seconds, so I'm wondering if i'm missing something.

To save you a re-install/download, if you go into Steam > Settings > Storage you can select the game and move it to your SD card. (In Desktop mode, you can do the same like you would in the normal client via Game > Properties > Local Files.)

Thanks for the suggestion, but whenever I tried doing that it would say transfer failed :/

Also i've now re-downloaded it onto my SD card but the same issue still exists :( hope someone has some more suggestions for how I can solve this.

How did you get it to run in the first place? It's incompatible as far as Valve is concerned and I certainly didn't get it to run on my Deck.

Okay I figured out the issue, if the launcher is running it will drop frames. you have to exit the launcher quickly before the game comes up

There are videos on youtube showing how to do it.
Since it is not compatible yet you run into issues sometimes.

No, thanks. Textual tutorials are way better in terms of information density.

For anyone who comes across this in the future, you can close the launcher in-game by clicking the Steam button, then scrolling down to Launcher and pressing (X) to close window.
