@@richardilie552Yeah I was thinking eh it runs slow under 60 I'll just wait till I get another computer or a sale comes up, nope now I can play it now..
Brother i both appreciate you, and condem you. Now I have no excuse to buy this, and hopefully wilds next year. Speaking of I can't wait for your wilds showcase on the deck
Thank you so much 😆 I think a lot of players including myself feel the same! Wilds will be a tough one to run but I'll definitely have the game on release 😍
@@DeckWizard i have some faith, since it uses the RE engine, and from experience both rise and DMC V run great with that engine on the deck even with high graphics preset. But wilds is a different beast so only next year will tell
You won't get banned on Steam no. We are free to mod our games perfectly fine whenever we want as long as they don't infringe on online games with others. I specify in the guide that if used online. The match will end because it detects us not matching the other players FPS, it just ends the match and no penalty is given.
WARNING! Make sure you have the exact same code from his description. NOT THE STEAM FORUM CODE. it has extra stuff that breaks the game. You should only change the fps you want. If you have the extra stuff the game only loads once
Yes that's right! We can even perform this method on a powerful PC and go all the way up to 165FPS if we desire, I'd like someone to test and report back to this comment if they have the tech available! I'll have further videos out later showcasing more FPS values across Handhelds, so please stay tuned! ♥️
Can it be changed to 45fps? I have ab oled and 45 would be amazing. Also by lowering the fps can I increase the graphics so it looks less blurry and still keep a stable performance?
Even if it was at 60 FPS... I got booted from PVP twice without any kind of reason besides Steam Deck being a Linux thing most likely... I'll take single player stuff with custom battles being a good substitute over spotty PVP where the connection may not even be good and I got a 5G wifi so I should have GOOD levels of connection from my end.
@@DeckWizardNothing ever pops up at all. Sometimes it just freezes up. So I either have to get out of desktop mode, or a while for it to unfreeze itself. Its really weird, Desktop mode has always been kinda buggy for me apparently.
@@DeckWizard promise it is, but I'll check again when I get home. The game is installed on the SD card. Its really hard to make space in my internal storage because its always filled with "other storage".
Attention: The Spirit Bomb will be glitched. You will be softlocked. You need to play the game normally f.e. to beat Freezer. I experienced this in 30fps. Because I prefer the game this way.
@@brnb325 oh that's so stupid. The game should just have a fps switcher natively. But I had enough after 8 hours anyway. Too many things that were made just worse.
2:22 Are you 100% sure I can play online after doing this??? Because I don't wanna buy the game on my Steam Deck and try this out just for it not to work
Hi there, please listen to the guide again. We place the code here to get our desired FPS and when we want to play online, we can either change to 60FPS or remove the code.
Well, i'm playing one day after official lauch, and just all settings on medium/low (shadows, blur) and 85 escale and the Game go fine 50-60fps with no problem, first day patch maybe? Or i'm just a blind xD
I assume this will be reversible with the verify game files option in steam? Likely just going to play offline content on steam deck though if thats what it takes to get consistent performance but would be handy to know please!
Potentially, this would probably work as a reversal. Verify files would recognise the engine.ini being a few bytes larger and replace with the default. Nice thinking and thank you for sharing ❤️
Is the game installed to your internal drive? You should have that folder by installing normally from your Steam and running the game at least once! Let me know!
@@DeckWizard I assume if this is about the engine.ini file, I had the problem happen to me too but turns out I just needed to launch sparking zero on steam deck for the first time as I suspected :3 That may be why some people don't see the file at first
We get severe slowdown in the game and it becomes unenjoyable. Sparking Zero will think it is still performing at 60FPS, by following the guide we make the game perform at our desired FPS value. ♥️ I hope that helps and thank you for watching!
Make sure you have the exact same code from his description. NOT THE STEAM FORUM CODE. it has extra stuff that breaks the game. You should only change the fps you want
I saw this earlier elsewhere and yes it does really work. Im using 40 fps and it seems great. Lets hope the deck gets online play because thats the majority of why i bought this expensive game
Won’t it not be 60 fps even if u type it in code therefore it won’t work online I don’t think it kicks me out of the match every time on tournament but right as the game starts and it makes me win the match then takes me to the next fight and it just keeps repeat until u win finals 😂😂
@@carlosbahilloperez esta es la ruta bro. Espero te ayude, ahí buscas la carpeta con el nombre del sparking zero: /home/deck/PortProton/data/prefixes/DEFAULT/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/
If it can be optimized for the Deck, then there is no way this couldn't have proper Local Multiplayer on PS5/XSX. Furthermore, it should have a PS4 version...

Thanks. Simple. Short and straight to the point. I’ve bought the deluxe edition for PS5 so I’ll probably get it on PC at some point.
Thank you so much for your support! I hope you enjoy the game!
Why did you have to do this? Now I have no reason to not play it.
😂 Thank you and hope you have a great time!
Thought I was gonna save $70 and wait for a sale. Guess not.
el online es un motivo para no jugarlo

I can't find the engine.ini file my game is installed in an sd card
Will I be able to do this without getting banned on Steam? I read it somewhere that Namco might ban people who use mods so I'm kind of afraid.
You won't get banned on Steam no. We are free to mod our games perfectly fine whenever we want as long as they don't infringe on online games with others.

It worked fine initially, but after restarting the game, for some reason my game no longer launches, even if i try to use proton
Did you manage to resolve this?
@@DeckWizard no unfortunately, I had to reinstall the game and even then if I do this fix the same problem occurs
You can change the 3 codes from 40 fps to 50 or 60
?

The Engine.ini file won’t open for me at all. How do I fix this? I already tried restarting the Deck and it still won’t open.
What happens when you try to open, is there an error message?
@@DeckWizardNothing ever pops up at all. Sometimes it just freezes up. So I either have to get out of desktop mode, or a while for it to unfreeze itself. Its really weird, Desktop mode has always been kinda buggy for me apparently.
Make sure your SteamOS is up to date on system settings.
Is the game installed to the internal drive or Micro SD?
@@DeckWizard promise it is, but I'll check again when I get home. The game is installed on the SD card. Its really hard to make space in my internal storage because its always filled with "other storage".
0:30 man now i am sad. Hope Bandai gives us a fix
Attention: The Spirit Bomb will be glitched. You will be softlocked. You need to play the game normally f.e. to beat Freezer. I experienced this in 30fps. Because I prefer the game this way.
The Spirit Bomb is glitched only if you play at 30 fps.
The same thing happened to me, I put the code on "35" and it worked 😉

Hi there, please listen to the guide again.
We place the code here to get our desired FPS and when we want to play online, we can either change to 60FPS or remove the code.
Remove what code all three lines?
Well, i'm playing one day after official lauch, and just all settings on medium/low (shadows, blur) and 85 escale and the Game go fine 50-60fps with no problem, first day patch maybe? Or i'm just a blind xD
@DeckWizard can you use the command code to input 60fps instead of 40 fps?
Somehow this method has me running at 13 frames
Yes of course!
13 frames? Are you sure nothing is limited elsewhere in SteamOS like FPS or TDP?
@@DeckWizard I am absolutely sure I even double checked and it was running 6 frames and the no other settings were turned on
How do I paste the code if I don’t have TH-cam on the steam deck?
Open a Web browser like Firefox and access youtube
@@DeckWizardwill the framerate be fixed in gaming mode or just desktop mode?
There is a way to play online with Dragonball Sparking Zero? I've tried everything on steam deck but no one works
Has to be played with other steam deck users at the same fps unfortunately I hope it gets fixed soon
I assume this will be reversible with the verify game files option in steam? Likely just going to play offline content on steam deck though if thats what it takes to get consistent performance but would be handy to know please!
Potentially, this would probably work as a reversal.
Verify files would recognise the engine.ini being a few bytes larger and replace with the default.
Nice thinking and thank you for sharing ❤️
Is there a reason that file isnt showing up for me? I have compatdata, but the numbered folder isnt showing up.
Is the game installed to your internal drive? You should have that folder by installing normally from your Steam and running the game at least once! Let me know!
@@DeckWizard I figured it out. Thank you
@@DrojmanGaming What did you do?
@@DeckWizard I assume if this is about the engine.ini file, I had the problem happen to me too but turns out I just needed to launch sparking zero on steam deck for the first time as I suspected :3 That may be why some people don't see the file at first
@DeckWizard I was looking in my SD Card rather than on my actual deck for the file.
Thanks 🙏 what if you lock the 40 fps on the steam interface ?
We get severe slowdown in the game and it becomes unenjoyable.
Sparking Zero will think it is still performing at 60FPS, by following the guide we make the game perform at our desired FPS value. ♥️
I hope that helps and thank you for watching!
@@DeckWizard thx 🙏
It worked then I restart it does not launch how do I resolve this?
Perhaps you got an update? Does the engine say what you put still?
Make sure you have the exact same code from his description. NOT THE STEAM FORUM CODE. it has extra stuff that breaks the game. You should only change the fps you want
I saw this earlier elsewhere and yes it does really work. Im using 40 fps and it seems great. Lets hope the deck gets online play because thats the majority of why i bought this expensive game
Great to hear and thank you for sharing, I'm hoping the Online works soon, likely for the full release just round the corner!
I haven't been able to get a single match online and im sure its not my wifi now looking at the comments + i was just playing tekken earlier
Can you do the fix on a windows 10 OS steam deck?
Yes of course!
How? I'm sorry I'm not super tech savvy
Rather what is the program to open the file? Is it a dos file or notepad? Or something else?
Notepad will work, or you can download Notepad++ free from Google
so is the game playable online at all?
I’m trying figure out same
Yes, completely
Is this for the online or no because I keep getting that error when I play in online matches
Watch the video
Check out the video We cannot use this online, all explained as there is a fair play policy in effect guarded by the anti cheat.
@@DeckWizardwhat graphics settings are you using in the video? It looks good
Can I do this on a legion go? And can I play on multiplayer
You can do it on Legion GO, but as specified in the guide we cannot use this online.
@@DeckWizardyou think we’ll ever be to play online? Like if they’ll unlock 60 fps maybe or something in that 9gb day one patch
@@DeckWizard how do i do this on windows?
This folder…17900etc. I don’t have it in my folder 😢
Is your game from Steam?
@@DeckWizard it is not, I just installed it as a non-steam game. So the Engine.ini in this case would be somewhere else?
I am new at this 🥲
You need to play the game for the folder to appear
Thanks guys, managed to get it to work!
@Sir_Stalker Great to hear enjoy!
I Cannot find the engine.ini file 🧐🤔
Have you found the Sparking Zero folder?
Is your game installed properly from Steam?
@@DeckWizard I have the quacked version but there is no engine.ini file :/
can't u just fix the framerate from the steam deck overlay?
No, it slows the game down and the in game FPS is tied to the game itself, so we must edit the Engine.Ini
Should i set it to 45fps for steam deck oled?
I was wondering the same thing. Lemme know if you do it and how well it works.
It's better to do 40 and make the graphics settings a bit higher
Unless you like higher framerates over better graphics...
Might be a good idea, I was going to suggest this initially, did you try how did it go?
@DeckWizard after testing. Its better at 40
it got fixed no slow down now
Won’t it not be 60 fps even if u type it in code therefore it won’t work online I don’t think it kicks me out of the match every time on tournament but right as the game starts and it makes me win the match then takes me to the next fight and it just keeps repeat until u win finals 😂😂
runs with around 60fps on low settings so no need to do this
Can you play online at all? Plz lmk it’s okay if I can’t but still like y not 💔😢
You can still play online, just not with the 40fps cap
@@treaon511 so type in 60 where the 40 is
Online mode is running now?
😂
No me aparece la carpeta com esos números :c
Have you made sure to run the game at least once?
@@DeckWizard tranquilo, ya lo encontré en la carpeta de portproton jejeje. Gracias igualmente 🫂
@@CarlosGarcia-re2xu donde la encontraste? Supongo que tienes el juego pirata como yo, a mí no me sale ni la una ni la otra
@@carlosbahilloperez esta es la ruta bro. Espero te ayude, ahí buscas la carpeta con el nombre del sparking zero: /home/deck/PortProton/data/prefixes/DEFAULT/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/
There is no sparking zero folder
Where exactly? Have you installed from Steam and run the game once?
why not just use the built in refresh rate setting and set it to 40hz?
The game will slow down on us if we do not set our FPS through the config file and becomes unenjoyable.
Does this work on lcd variants?
Yes absolutely!
Anyone got an extra copy? Asking for a friend. 🙏
Purpose?
Personally i don't see this game built for the deck this is kinda a must have 60fps type of game
It can definitely get better with patches and further optimization!
This game can def be optimized for the deck in the future.
If it can be optimized for the Deck, then there is no way this couldn't have proper Local Multiplayer on PS5/XSX.
Furthermore, it should have a PS4 version...
Cant we just limit it the framerate with steam settings
You can but the game will run in slow motion
The game will slow down, so we need to use this method to adjust the FPS accordingly!
