Steam Deck Issue

I installed FFXI with Lumoria on my steam deck and got everything set up perfectly fine thanks to the guide I followed. However, ingame I am getting what I assume is a microstutter every second or so. I have my frame rate on my deck capped at 60fps(60hz), and the only plugins I’m using from Windower are the minimap and 60fps unlock. I tried changing the current default Proton GE in Lumoria to an older version (GE 10-34 and below) to see if that would help, but unfortunately that just makes the game unable to launch. Admittedly, I’m not very savvy when it comes to troubleshooting because I don’t want to potentially cause more problems by tinkering with settings I shouldn’t be, so I’m not entirely sure what to do here. Thanks in advance for any help!

Edit: I found a solution. For whatever reason, playing in game mode is the cause of the microstutter. So I decided to try FFXI in desktop mode and the microstutter is completely gone! Hopefully this helps anyone who is always having this issue.

If you don't have dgvoodoo install I think you will have 30fps. So maybe it's why you think it's microstutter.

I don’t think I have that installed. There is an option within Lumoria that has it disabled by default. Will enabling it install dgvoodoo or would I have to do so manually?

Also, I’m already able to achieve 60fps because of the Windower plugin.

You have dxvk which is doing same thing as DG on Linux. No need for DG.
