Valve hopes that a fix fo✤r Elden Ring's Steam Deck "heavy" stuttering will be available by next week.

According to Valve coder Pierre-Loup Griffais, Stea🔯m Deck's "graphics team" has been "hard at work" to address the issues, and while there's no definitive date for when the fix will be publicly rolled out, the latest Proton update is already available "on the bleeding-edge branch of Experimental".

"The graphics team has been hard at work 🔴on optimizing Elden Ring for Steam Deck," Griffais tweeted.

"Fixes for heavy stutter during background streaming of assets will be availa🌳ble in a Proton release next week, but are available to test now on the bleeding-edge branch of Experimental."

The issue isn't just affecting Steam Deck players, of course, and at the time of writing, Elden Ring has received a "Mixed" review aggregate score from users on Steam, where many players are complaining of PC optimization issꩲues. Interestingly, though, Griffais that w🉐hile some of the issues lie with the game itself, it's "still possible to optimize/mitigate in the various driver layers".
