I've been using ThirteenAG's great collection of widescreen fixes for games on my Windows PC and my Deck, but I've found the results a bit mixed on the Steam Deck side of things and was wondering if anyone has any advice.

Steam Deck set up: Setting up the games on Steam Deck is simple. 1. Enter Desktop Mode 2. Move the extracted files folder somewhere on your Steam Deck (use external drive, ftp etc) 3. Find the game .exe, right click it (left trigger) and click "Add game to Steam". If you don't know which is the executable or you can't find it, go to your uncompressed files, open the start..sh with a text editor and look at the bottom of the script t find where and which files is executed. 4. Switch to Gaming Mode, find the added game and try to run it. - If the game does not run, try changing the compatibility (game properties) to GE or an other proton version (Get more versions with ProtonUp-QT) - Older games may contain a "scripts" folder and a dinput8.dll file. These files are patching the game with setting changes (screen resolution, buttons etc). If your game has these, modify the .ini file inside the scripts folder with a text editor (if available, change resolution x and y to 1280 and 800, and change to xbox controller). You also need to add the following launch option in the game properties in steam: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command% You can check for scripts at https://thirteenag.github.io/wfp, just make sure you don't have multiple *.asi files in the scripts folder. I highly recommend this for older games which run in the wrong resolution or you get keyboard controls.

Right now im using this https://github.com/Sporif/dxvk-async with dxvk.enableAsync=true, it works but i got transparent assets 1-2s before it load completely, is that normal?

You can also manually install it yourself, check the DXVK_ASYNC Github page for the instructions. Maybe try to use an older version of Proton GE if you're unsure.

I also tested out Unity on my system and got the same results as you to which DXVK gplasync or the older DXVK-Async "band-aid" fixed it. Really, that's the only thing that does address issues with DX11

DXVK Async: This is a file that converts the game from DirectX9 to Vulkan, this helps alleviate issues with stuttering and massive frame drops. This version has async which renders shaders faster so it has less stuttering than regular DXVK.

Try downloading this - https://github.com/Sporif/dxvk-async

Download dxvk async 2.0 here : https://github.com/Sporif/dxvk-async/releases/tag/2.0. then open it and go inside the x32 folder and copy d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll then paste inside C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Mafia II\pc.

Jedi Fallen Order (Epic setting) was a little quirky with stuttering, but was rectified when I used DXVK_ASYNC and entered DXVK_ASYNC =1 in Settings > About > Advanced System Settings > Advanced Tab > Environment Variables > System Variables > New > Variable Name = DXVK_ASYNC, Variable Value = 1, and that reduces the issues quite a bit. Vanilla DXVK 2.1 didn't work out as well for me, but I might try it again as 2.2 came out recently
