Resident Evil 4 – Guide to Steam Deck Settings

With this settings you can play at 30 or 40 FPS.

Steam Deck Settings

Prerequisites

  • Update to the latest Stable Version and Proton Experimental / Proton Hotfix as Valve has put fixes for RE4 remake in those.
  • Use Cryoutilities 2 with all recommended tweaks and at least a 12gb swapfile.
  • Set your deck’s Vram to 4gb (shown in video below).
  • It is recommended that you install the game to an SSD if you have it on your deck.

Settings for 30 FPS (Prettier)

  • Use the MANGO 30FPSLOCK.
  • Put this in the launch command options.
MANGOHUD_CONFIG=fps_limit=30,no_display mangohud %command%

This will lock the framerate with better input latency, locking RE4 at 30 with any other method will cause playability issues.

On Display Settings

  • Turn off Chromatic Aberration
  • Set FOV as high as it will go.

Steam Overlay

  • 60Hz
  • Leave the cap at 60 as it comes by default, since it’s not capped from here.
  • Do not enable Allow Tearing
  • Cap TDP at 11w or 12/13 if you have drops.

Settings for 40 FPS (More Responsive)

  • Use the Steam Overlay 40fps lock
  • Set to 40hz
  • Set to 40 Fps
  • Do not allow tearing

You can also try mangohud cap by using this command instead of capping from the steam overlay.

MANGOHUD_CONFIG=fps_limit=30,no_display mangohud %command%

YMMV. On 30 you MUST use mangohud. You can choose a limiter for 40.
