Palworld Steam Deck Essentials Mod - Performance & How To install

hey Deckers what progression we are seeing  Palworld is taking the World by storm from   the humble beginnings to flying around with seeing  mansions in the distance on our dedicated server   it's absolutely insane and now we have one of  the first performance mods as well called the   steam deck Essentials mod which you can see here  on the right hand side there is a bit of time of   difference on here but using pretty much the same  settings but with the modded version you can see   that we are getting around the same frames per  second if not a little a little bit better in a   fair amount of situations and this was running  the modded version and also the local version   with TAA few distance on low and everything else  on medium which is the way I've been playing this   for the most part and you'll see that when we  are going around in normal this is the unmodded   version in battles and general and of out and  about it will stick around the 30 to 34 frames   per second mark But as we get into more Hefty  battles we do get those dips and we get those   loading spikes everywhere in the map as more stuff  renders coming in on that view distance we do get   some spikes under the 30 fairly regularly down  into the 28 although the frame time is fairly   stable and it does look and perform well with  the steam deck Essentials mod even with all hell   breaking loose in a very busy base under attack  you can see that we do get a bit of frame time   spikes but for the most part it still sticks  over that 30 frames per second Mark with minor   dips under the 28 so it does perform a little bit  better better so if you are looking to just get   that little bit more performance out of power  world on your steam deck on the LCD or OLED on   average you are going to get 3 to 5 frames per  second more FPS with the essentials mod so how   do you get this installed well first of all you  need to switch over to desktop mode open your   favorite web browser and head over to Nexus mods  I'll also put a direct link in the article that's   going to accompany this if you want a Tex guide  as well head over to Nexus mods and locate the   steam deck Essentials power world mod you will  need a free Nexus mods account to download this   and if you've got premium you've got obviously  access to the faster downloads but it's a very   small mod so you don't need that at this stage  then once that's downloaded head to your steam Library Locate Palworld in the games list hit  settings manage and then browse local files and   then for the first file you want to go into the  pal directory then into the content directory   and then the pack directory you'll see that I've  already got the mods folder here but let's go to   our downloads folder and update version it's been  a couple of updates since I started testing this   so we want to just drag and drop the mods folder  from our downloaded file into that location and   overwrite any previous ones as it updates the pack  file and then we need to put the engine.in file in   a very specific location fortunately they have put  this in the readme file so in that downloaded file   open up the readme file that's in there and then  under the engine. any location section you want   the last line copy this line either with the edit  tool at the top or with the steam controls for   right click then open up a new tab in your Dolphin  explorer select into the top and clear it out and   then paste in the path that you copied and hit the  tick and this will take you to the correct Windows   location in that folder then in the downloaded  files there's several different versions that you   can try here there's a cartoon style light cartoon  style but these aren't performing very well so I   don't recommend these and then the normal art  style now I use the balance FXAA version and   obviously you can choose which type of version  you want here depending on how good the graphics   look but I find that the balance version did give  me that best in between as I do like graphical   Fidelity of power wild anyway I didn't really see  any difference on the quality version but I did   see that little bit of gain on the balance FXAA  so then just drag and drop that any file over I   did back up my engine.in file previously just  so that I had the stock version if I wanted it   by just renaming the engine. file with a BK at the  front and then just drag and drop the engine. any   file into that directory and restart back into  game mode there you go you can have a play with   the mods and I'm sure if there's any others that  come up the process is the same so you can try out   various power world mods let us know how you get  on thanks for watching and see you in the next one
