Your system information

  • Steam client version: 1748922024
  • SteamOS version: 3.7.9
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Unknown (SteamOS Beta)
  • Opted into SteamOS beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for updates in Settings > System?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

During the transition period for normal lighting to Night mode (and back) games always exhibit massive stuttering and fps drops below 10 for a few seconds.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Enable Night mode and schedule it for 10 pm for example
  2. Start a game a few minutes before your chosen time (eg. 10pm)
  3. Observe the stuttering and frame drops at 10pm

In the clip below I set night mode to deactivate at 1pm. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9d1d54aa-529e-4eb2-959e-5e736510714a
