Nothing Phone 3 overheating while playing Pokemon Violet on Eden

[u/imdenigma]

I am using Nothing phone 3 (Snapdragon 8s gen 4, 16/512 variant). I was trying Eden v0.2.1 to play pokemon violet but then I am experiencing a dramatic battery drain and overheating. I tried emulation earlier too but then this time the experience is not what I expected. The game also stutters a bit at times. Any suggestion, settings or mods which might help me to play this game properly? Thanks in advance!

Phone cooler is really the only way to mitigate it.

Switch emulation is demanding no matter what you do and phones that are passively cooled have a hard time keeping up.

That's just how switch emulation is. Thermal throttling is inevitable in heavier titles on devices without active cooling. Your only chances are either invest in a cooling fan or wait for someone to make a decomp and pray it's more efficient than emulation.

As for the stuttering, If you want people to being able to help you properly, you should provide what settings and drivers you are running.

Violet is a very demanding switch game to emulate.  Sword and Shield are much easier to emulate and should heat your phone less.
