I have tried Java and it runs great, but I kind of prefer Bedrock since I can play on the same world from consoles and other devices as well.
This is happening in both single player and when playing on a server I have running on my PC.
Hello! I've been playing the Bedrock version of Minecraft on Steam Deck with the help of MCPELauncher from the Discover store. Performance is generally great, except there are these massive performance spikes that cause the game to hitch every 30 seconds or so.
Sometimes specific actions can trigger smaller spikes, like when you open a chest or other inventory space, but the larger spikes happen pretty regularly and they don't seem to be triggered by anything in particular. It doesn't make the game unplayable, but it is a little distracting.
Has anyone else experienced this when using this version of MC on the Deck, or does anyone know of any solutions?
Notes: Non-OLED deck with CryoUtilities active. Minecraft is installed to an internal NVME drive and not a MicroSD card. Changing video settings doesn't seem to have an effect.
Thanks for reading o7
5/27 update: After putting MC down for several weeks, this doesn't seem to be a problem anymore. I am no longer noticing any performance dips during gameplay. 🥳
I noticed an identical issue when playing Elder Scrolls Online, and the culprit with that game was the launcher window running in the background. I suspect that the Bedrock launcher was causing similar issues, but I can't confirm that at the moment.
The Master Chief collection. Runs great, and has both co-op and competitive multiplayer. Not on sale ATM but I bought it for $10 not too long ago.
Curveball suggestion: Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst. I loved PSO back in the day and it’s amazing to me that I can install it on the Deck through Lutris.
Just got the “true” ending in Pikmin 4, so I’m back to focusing on Mario Wonder. Both games have just been joyous experiences.
I’m a few hours into Little Goody Two-Shoes and it seems like it could be something special. Very curious about where it goes and how many different styles of gameplay it folds into its life sim/dating game structure.
The Mario RPG remake comes out this week and I’ll probably jump on that immediately. I never played the original.
Twitch, especially small streamers. I find out about a lot of games and get a pretty good idea of if I’d like them just from watching friends stream.
