How to Fix
- Open Enshrouded.
- Open Task Manager.
- Right Click Enshrouded > Go to Details.
- Right Click Enshrouded > Set Affinity.
- Check every EVEN number core.
- Uncheck every UNEVEN number core.
- Press OK.
- Enjoy Smooth Enshrouded.
Note: You will have to do this every time you launch the game. This also works for many other games that have a similar issue.
I think It ‘disabled” Hyperthreading (intel) or SMT (Amd Simultaneous Multithreading)
You can do it in the Bios
But some app prefers to use all core
It looks like a lot of game works better when you disable Hyperthreading / SMT
You can disable SMT on Steam deck
It might be that uneven cores has poorly optimized threads which might liead to stutters.
So yeah, if you set affinity for redistribution workloads for better optimized multithreaded cores, you might gain better performance. Yet, this might not be the best practice due to even cores will now do double the work that was set for uneven cores on cpu which could lead to hotter cpu temperature, so be aware of that
It’s definitely not best practice, as stated, this is a temporary fix until the devs get it sorted. All though, plenty of other games that are 5+ years old have this issue and haven’t been fixed but trying to stay hopeful.
on linux (steam deck) you would do this by using the following launch command: “taskset 555 %command%”
