Hey everyone! I recently picked up Ogu and the Secret Forest from Epic Games and installed it via Junkstore. Unfortunately, I’m encountering significant stuttering every 10-20 seconds, and about 30 minutes into gameplay, the game crashes completely. I checked ProtonDB for solutions, and saw a mention that it runs smoothly on GE-Proton9-16, but when I tried that, I still faced the same stutter issues. I didn’t manage to play long enough to encounter a crash with the new version though. Is anyone else playing this title smoothly, or does anyone have suggestions for settings or configurations that could help?

I ran into the same problems with Ogu as well! I tried it using both Lutris and Heroic, but it crashed right after picking the difficulty. I saw stutters on the loading screen too, which forced me to shut down my PC. I’ve used both the latest Proton GE and the experimental version, and unfortunately, it was still a no-go for me.
I had similar stuttering issues while using Heroic Launcher. It seemed a bit more stable in desktop mode at first, but once I played further, it felt just as glitchy as before. I thought it was odd since the game is marked as Steam Deck verified. I even tried forcing the Steam runtime on different Proton versions, but it didn’t help at all and the game wouldn’t launch.
I’m also keeping my fingers crossed for a solid fix. It’s frustrating to see that even other platforms have their share of problems running this game according to the ProtonDB!
That’s such a bummer! It looked like it could be a fun game to dive into.
