This precaching is in principle nothing new for now and is already used in many games and is the reason why they pause to analyze the respective hadware and compile the shaders accordingly. Shader compilation works best when it is adapted to the specifications of the PC. Shader Precaching - the solution to all problems?ĭays before the handheld was shipped to pre-orderers, Valve's software team came up with an idea. The game pauses briefly each time to generate important components of the game, such as a new animation, a new enemy, or a new explosion, and that's how the jerks occur. This is exactly what happens with the PC version of Elden Ring. Digital Foundry says a game that isn't fully "baked" before you launch it can send the player into a series of never-ending shader compilation jerks. What causes the performance problems in Elden Ring?Īccording to Digital Foundry, Windows 10's DirectX 12 API is responsible for Elden Ring's performance issues. Unfortunately, this only works on the Steam deck. So while other gamers are still struggling with the unoptimized PC version, Valve has managed to implement a fix. However, the limited hardware of the deck makes it necessary to use various technical tricks to get modern games to work. The handheld allows you to play selected Steam games from anywhere. In addition to Elden Ring, Valve's Steam Deck was also released last month.

Although From Software has already released various patches that have brought improvement, there is still a lot of room for improvement.
