Performance regression with Metro: Last Light Redux on 3.5
Steam Deck 1TB Limited Edition
- Steam client version: 1701289036
- SteamOS version: 3.5.7
- Opted into Steam client beta?: [No]
- Opted into SteamOS beta?: [No]
- Have you checked for updates in Settings > System?: [Yes]
After launching the game Metro: Last Light Remastered I am experiencing performance issues that were not present in SteamOS version 3.4.11. When moving around I am experiencing stuttering as well as the GPU switching between 200 and 1040 Mhz. When idle, the GPU speed increases.
Settings: TDP Limit - off Manual Clock GPU - off Allow Tearing - off FSR - off Refresh Rate - 45 FPS / 90Hz
The only fix that seems to curb the stuttering is manually setting the GPU clock speed to 1600Mhz and leaving TDP off. Previously, I could leave TDP at 11 and maintain 45 FPS, while leaving GPU clocking on auto.
I am now also experiencing this while on the homepage, nothing running in the background. Mostly running at 1040 Mhz on homepage.
Steps for reproducing this issue:
- Installed Metro on SD card
- Capped display to 45 FPS/90 HZ
- Launched game and continued where I left off
- Rotate while standing in place

Thank you, I realized my title error after posting but couldn't change it
@Glorydayreject can you confirm if the game you are running is Last Light Redux, I don't see a Last Light Remastered.
I'm installing this one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/287390/Metro_Last_Light_Redux/
@lostgoat Yes the redux. I thought redux included 2033 and Last Light so I just said remastered
I can take a better video of the stuttering if needed
@kisak-valve Would you mind updating the title again?
@Glorydayreject a better video would be nice. The current one the framerate looks pretty stable.
@lostgoat Here's another video - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IH80eX_m51GxWfF9RPQ7L6AzG_SAnv4s/view?usp=drivesdk
The framerates are "stable" but you can see the stuttering when I past a certain part. You can also see the graph change when the stuttering occurs.
Once I switch the GPU to 1600 Mhz, the stuttering is gone and the graph is a perfect straight line

@lostgoat Has there been any progress on this?
