Not sure this is on-topic enough and maybe a bit niche, but does anyone here have experience running Animal Crossing via Ryujinx on the Steamdeck?

Just tested it and it really seems to bring the Steamdeck to its limits. Fan is running a lot, I had a crash or two as well. Kinda worried about frying my Steamdeck with this.

I checked online for performance tweaks but they mostly say that Yuzu works a bit better with the right tweaks, Ryujinx is already setup the best way but has worse performance.

Nothing that can be done or does anyone have some experience here?

Edit: Steamdeck OLED version by the way.

AC runs poorly even on switch. As soon as your island gets some decorations or becomes complex, you'll see tons of dips in performance and how the console struggles hard to run it. Not surprised the deck struggles too, the game itself is poorly optimized

Well, that's an interesting fact. Guess nothing can be done then. Thanks!

Don't quote me on this but I think the problem is the game tries to load EVERYTHING on the map, even if it's not visible. So if your island has decorations and trees in a decent amount, frame rate will suffer a lot, and load times will increase absurdly.
