Stutter Fix Route
Restart, confirm Proton 10+, cap FPS, lower effects, then shadows. Test the same Ramburg street or Rift again and change one setting at a time.
Updated for v0.2.2
Steam Deck Setup for a Smoother Run
Farever lists Windows and full controller support. The Nightling Invasion update no longer supports Proton versions below Proton 10 and adds broad VFX and crowded-area optimization.
Fast Answer
Use Proton 10 or newer and start at 40 FPS.
Lower effects first for crowded Rifts, then shadows. Keep textures as high as memory allows and restart after every hotfix before comparing performance.
| Setting | Starting Point | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Compatibility | Proton 10 or newer | Versions below Proton 10 are no longer supported as of v0.2. |
| Frame cap | 40 FPS | Better pacing and battery than chasing unstable highs. |
| Shadows | Low or Medium | Often the first setting to cut when open areas hitch. |
| Effects | Low or Medium | Rifts can put a dozen players, gates, enemies, and spell effects in one arena. |
| Textures | Medium or High | Adjust last unless memory pressure shows up. |
Controller Check
Confirm dodge, block, consumables, map, Arsenal swap, and the new spectator camera before a dungeon. Rebinds for Map, Jobs, Codeex, achievements, and profile are available.
Battery Route
Use 40 FPS, restrained effects, and stable brightness. Open-world gathering sessions benefit more from consistency than maximum visuals.
