Summary
~~~~~
Hogwarts Legacy just received a hefty discount on Steam and with it we've seen a massive influx of new players. The game is technically Verified on the Steam Deck, but the performance isn't the best.
So today, I want to highlight a popular mod that includes an FPS hotfix to reduce gameplay stuttering while also providing a 10% boost in performance.
This mod will also fine-tune the graphic settings for you, so you don't have to go through and tinker with any of the options in the menu.
Although, I still recommend you go through and make adjustments as you see fit.

Ascendio Portable Mod
If you have haven't played the game on the Steam Deck yet, then you'll want to launch the game so that it can generate the config files.
If you have already been playing it, though, you can go ahead and reboot the Steam Deck into Desktop Mode.
Then, you're going to want to download the Ascendio Portable mod directly from the website Nexus Mods.
I'll be sure to include the link in the video description below, as well as the pinned comment so that everyone is able to find it easily.
As of right now, this mod is up to version 1.0.3, but the developer does say that additional features will be included in future updates.
You can choose to download this directly on the Steam Deck through a web browser.
Or you can download it on your PC or a smartphone, and then transfer it over.
This mod is zipped up, though, so once you have it on the Steam Deck, you'll want to right click it and then extract its contents.
Then we can open up the folder here, and look for this installer file.
Double click on it and then confirm that you want to execute it.
Now you're going to let the installer script do its job while we wait patiently.
Once it has finished, let's reboot back into Steam OS and test out the game.
Customize the Settings
If you want, you can launch the game and begin playing it without adjusting any of the graphical settings.
However, you may be able to squeeze out a few more FPS by changing some of them.
For example, not everyone cares about seeing shadows so you could drop this down a bit so the GPU spends less time rendering them.
You shouldn't need to change much, since the Ascendia Portable Mod sets up the game so well for us.
Conclusion
I hope this video has been helpful to the new and returning Hogwarts Legacy players out there.
I would rather not let this video be longer than it needs to be, but if anyone wants to see how the game performs with this mod installed then let me know in the comments section below.
I could create a dedicated gameplay video if there's enough demand for it.
If anyone had any issues following this guide, then tell me which part you got confused at. . .or what errors you may be seeing.
And please don't forget to like this video while also subscribing to the channel for more Steam Deck content like this.

Thanks for sharing this, looking forward to starting the game on my steam deck
Been watching since around you first began making videos, thank you really.
I just started playing this game! Looking forward to trying this mod out
3.6 removes the option all together, stable 30fps on elden ring is impossible with 3.6
Thank god, mine's at 100%. I use to let my SD battery drain to 0 coz I barely use it for some time.
yea, I've left mine sit for a week or two at a time and come back with it at 0% and have worried that will damage it
Steam Deck BIOS Guide - czcams.com/video/h8m_VP7NpLs/video.html
omfg your the best why is it so small???
Geez. August 2024 and this bug is still not fixed. Thanks for sharing!
Extaclty what I needed. Fixed the issue. Thanks for the video!
Mine sits anywhere between 86-90% after about two years.
that's a great battery health level to be at after that time period. do you consider yourself to be rough with the battery (letting it drop to 0% often?)
@@SteamDeckExplained Not really, i try to not let it dip below 20%. I do have it hooked up to the wall while using it for a long time at home though.
Hey! Don’t know if you can help, but it seems from one day to another, cemu just stopped responding to controls? Tried to follow your video but nothing worked, and I’m at a loss. Tried both BOTW and WWHD, same with both games. Played with controller options and again, nothing works. Would you be able to help?
dont work for me
which part did your experience go different than what you saw in this video?
Battery life is 80%, but it drains super fast when Playing Black Myth Wukong.. like it went from 100% to like 30% in less than 10 mins
that definitely doesn't sound normal! let me check to see if there's a way to calibrate the battery if not, then you may want to look into getting that battery replaced
My battery lasts about 2 hrs 15 mins ? from 100 percent to 0. Yours sounds like there's something wrong with it
This device gets me headhaches, still good console, but something with the screen is the problem
does this happen with all games? my GF gets this way when trying to play certain FPS games (like Minecraft) but is fine when playing 3rd-person and isometric games (like Stardew Valley and Sky)
After looking for 15 minutes I find your video thanks
you're most welcome!
I only get an error message when trying to start MW3
I don't think i'd play any game with a joystick/track pad without aim assist
Worst cliffhanger on the desktop mode instructions haha.
Why hasn't Valve added this to the firmware yet?
I honestly don't know. It's possible that they have too much on their plate right now (Valve staff numbers are quite limited). But it may have something to do with the hit to performance
Emudeck-Cemu isn’t on my steam deck anymore. I’m having no luck keeping the buttons mapped on cemu. Even if I save the profile it disappears as soon as I close cemu. I access it through steam on desktop. When I open cemu the controls are mapped there. I save it and close it and it’s gone like it never happened. I load MK8 and again no controls.
So I basically had to delete Emulation station and reinstall and now it works. Big F around
@@Chronotriwait bro please help me. Literally have the same problem. It keeps erasing my controller 1 configuration when i turn it off. ANY. advice? If i reinstall emudeck, do I lose anything? I’m scared and don’t want my games or files to be missed up. Please reply bro
@@nanashi5139 it definitely was a pain in the a$$. There was times I thought I lost everything but I didn’t. It was all still there. You’ll also have to Rescrape your games. It’s ok to scream to the sky at times but it works now. You’ll also have to use a different emulator for your 3DS games. But they have one ready to go. Just follow the CZcams videos for the latest on installing. Take your time and once it’s back to normal your cemu controls will automatically fix itself. It takes time and I tried everything to fix the issues and that was the best I could do and it worked. Oh and sorry you will lose any saves you have. I’m sure there are ways around it but I’m no tech genius. I took the hit and it works.
Спасибо друг🖐 2 дня ищу как это сделать.
I’ve had 2 steam decks with completely opposite outcomes I had an LCD originally it unfortunately couldn’t be undervolted at all due to crashing issues even demanding games caused a crash at stock voltage after a putting up with it for a month hoping an update might fix it I ended up getting it returned in the end recently I’ve grabbed the oled as I missed having my steam library at work on the go and though may as well give the undervolt a go see if I’m any lucky compared too last time and I’m thrilled that my oled steam deck has hit -50 all round went from one extreme too the next
that's amazing! sadly, the first experience you had just sounds like you had a bad unit. I'm glad you didn't give up completely though :)
I did this and the game won't launch. Deleting the launch option command let's the game launch again.
I did it but once in handheld mode it changes back to the damn default one
THANKS A LOT
you're very welcome :)
This cover made the steam deck oled looks 7 not 7.4
For some reason I'm not pressing down on the r1 but everything I try to access both menus it takes a screen shot
Lego Batman 3!
Same for me
how has that game been? so far, lego avengers is the only one I've had time to play through
Is it normal that the white power LED starts to blink a few times after I enabled the storage mode? Shortly before switching off I mean.
Mine was labeled like audio sync or something and that was muted which was causing my problems specifically over HDMI
Where i can find screenshot folder in desktop mode if i didn't take screenshot in desktop mode?
Does adjusting dead zone to 2000 will make it feel like when I use a PS5 / Xbox controller ?
little mistake @ 5:02 you need to "massage" the bubbles out before you remove the 2nd layer, otherwise you'll end up scratching your screen protector with the card (trust me, it can happen, even on "scratch proof" protectors). other than that it's a good tut, thanks!
Thanks for the great video! However my installation went bad in every possible way. Even though doing everything meticulously and positioning the tray straight on top of the Deck, my protector went off to the left almost 1 mm. I ended up with a small bubble in the center of the screen which didn't move at all even though I massaged it couple of minutes. Also, it's hard to find a dust-free environment, so there's always some dust specks on top the screen which are trapped between. I tried to reposition and clear out the bubble by prying it from the corner, but it broke the glass (just the corner part). Best part of the installation was the fact that it cost only 20 € to try it and throw it to the bin. Don't get me wrong, the product was ok, especially with all the accessories included.
My problem: open gamepad at the beginning of Tokyo mirage sessions
Hey, i just cant change the Installation Location to my sd Card, maybe you know where ? Thanks for the great video ❤😊
Ahhh, i did it in the program from desktop mode. Now it seems to work 🎉😂
What happens if it boots into bios instead of steamos every 2 days.
works great thanks man!
This wasn't the fullness of what a needed but this helped A LOT! Thank you!
Thumbizz up for you my friend. Helped a lot.
(I didnt come up with this) But if you go into desktop mode, go into settings, go to shortcuts, then click on spectacle, then you can add a personalized shortcut to your device. I use a shortcut for "capture entire desktop" and added my shortcut there 🫶 happy gaming!
Thanks. Really helpful
The boe in the limited vr only anf the one in your video is samsung vr
Thx its working
I don't understand the point of doing this if the game is already pulling what it needs. Like for this example the game you were playing was staying at 9, so why set your tdp to 10 or something when the game is already just staying at 9? I'm genuinely asking because I don't fully understand how this works. Other than that, very helpful guide!
I have installed it, but when I click launch it don't launch up, it starts then I need to click play again
Still don't work
What if the game is not showing up in the applications area in the audio settings?
please show me how to install each emulators bios and where to get them?
You actually wanna set the emulated controller as the pro controller so you can access your menus
Gamepad still works. It enables gyroscopic controls and allows you to see both screens, which cemu allows you to switch between. But if you just want a single screen and are fine without gyroscopic controls, then pro is the way to go
@@APintoBean1 hmm I had no idea I just figured I wasn’t able to see the menu when using it as the wiiu controller option so in menu I set it to emulate the pro controller and it worked great.
@@bubbythebrow153bro please help. Whenever I set up the controller stuff in Cemu settings in desktop mode, it resets whenever I go back into gaming mode and goes back to Gamepad. It only works when I keep Cemu open in desktop mode. By default it just plays in the Gamepad mode, but I want to use my Steam Deck as a pro controller mode. Thoughts? Is there a reason the Cemu settings keep resetting after I switch modes? I just wish the default settings was pro controller mode, not Gamepad mode.
@@nanashi5139 when you are setting it in desktop on controller 1 are you saving the profile?
@@bubbythebrow153 yes and still it resets whenever I close out Cemu or turn off my Steam Deck. I’m using the latest Cemu Native. This is so annoying why it doesn’t save my controller 1 settings. I just want to play Zelda WW and TP using the pro controller option, but yet it keeps resetting it back to Gamepad mode instead.
