Elden Ring PC Stuttering Issues Fixed - But Only on Valve's Steam Deck

I've played the pirated version and the steam version and both stutter pretty badly on my system. Anytime something new happens or loads in it seems.
 
There is definitely some hard stutter in my game, but not often. Hope they fix it though.
Game is installed on my SATA SSD.
 
UPDATE: I tried VKD3D and it crashes on startup. Might look into it more because all of my experiences with DX12 have been suboptimal.

I've been giving the game a try and it actually runs pretty well. My main system maxes it out at 1440P with a constant 60 FPS.

It even runs on my new laptop's iGPU at around 30FPS, which feels better than I expected. This is at low settings at 720P

It's the "patched" version and I've outright removed EAC. It's installed on an NVMe SSD on my laptop, and on a RAID0 SATA SSD array on my main system. There is some stuttering, but it's not unplayable.

My only real complaint is how terrible the mouse controls in the menus are. A controller is a must.
 
I also tried it on my older Eluktronics MAX-15 (i7-9750H 6C/12T and RTX 2070 non-Super 115W) laptop and it also runs pretty smooth, continuing with my saved game from Steam cloud. The game only goes up to 60 FPS so no point in trying to run it higher. There are slight drops to around 50 to 55 FPS, but this is expected when the settings are maxed out and on an older 8th 9th gen Intel.
 
cracked version with mods runs flawlessly on hdd, steam version legit on ssd runs like shit with constant stuttering ... a shame
