Game Running In Slow Motion
I've scoured the internet for a fix to this but I can't find one. I'm running the game on my Steam Deck. I beat the main game perfectly fine but now it's running slow. It's not a performance issue, it's not dropping in frames or anything it's just that all the animations and physics are running about 50% slower. Even things like the menus and title screen are effected, it makes the game a chore to play. If anyone knows and way to fix this it'd be a great help. Thank you.

Make sure it is not running at 30FPS because of some Steam Deck firmware thing or something. The game is tied to the framerate.

Mine is set to 40 FPS and it's also running extremely slow on Steam Deck. It's unplayable at this speed. I'm thinking of asking for a refund. I bought this specifically for play on the steam deck. Sonic Generations (with it's more graphically impressive presentation) runs just fine on the deck.

It needs to be set to 60hz and 60fps
Some games are like that, n++ is the same

Yeah... of course it's going to run slow at 40 FPS. Like I said, the game is tied to the framerate. It expects to be running at 60 FPS and all of the code relies on it being 60 FPS.

I wouldn't go as far as saying "of course" since of the dozens of games that I've played on my deck so far, none require 60 fps.
However, I appreciate all of the advice and I'll give it a shot.
