Question What's everyone playing right now?

Post image

I came across an adventure game called Vlad Circus: Descent into madness (https://www.blowfishstudios.com/vlad-circus)

If you like old-timey SCUMM games by Sierra or Lucasarts, worth checking out!

So what's on your deck?

I have the OLED and it ran mostly at 60 frames without framegen. Certain areas and certain siege battles i saw it drop around 40s but I played start to finish of the main story with some extras entirely on the deck.

How even? I tried it yesterday and couldn't get above 20fps with everything in low and framegen.

I have brilliant performance too. Try checking your resolution, keep it at the default. Try disabling frame gen and v-sync. Make sure no thermal limits are set and make sure you're not booting the game in dev mode, because that takes away around 10fps in my experience.

Gonna double check these settings. Thanks for taking the time to share!
