[@AgentAwesome0018]

Exactly what I was looking for. Palworld would crash every 30 mins but works like a dream now. Thank you!

[@afrodude4782]

This is exactly why i looked up this video. Im almost at 200hrs in Palworld and ive had enough of the crashes ruining my fun lol

[@b1gjoekrash]

Thanks for the walking me threw the installation of CryoUtilities. After weeks of not being able to play Star Wars Jedi Survivor I can finally get past the elevator scene in the beginning and play the game on deck after installing CryoUtilities. Thank you

[@aidan127]

This is the very game I came here for! Thanks for telling me it works!

[@LDWilliams]

Nice and clear explanatory video. Gave me the final conviction to install it. Now got this and ProtonUp-qt installed.

[@vincentguerrero581]

This helped me out. New World froze me in the first city and I wasn't able to log back on until I installed this. Now I run wild and free in the city

[@JoshuaTamirGaming]

Thanks bro I never leave comments but this worked for me with undisputed

[@dashawnmitchell832]

Totally new to Linux and file stuff. Appreciate this

[@pr1vatepiles1]

thanks for this, helped me with my new deck today

[@rowdyrager-9403]

Do you have to go into desktop mode each time and run cryo utilities?? Or is it a one and done thing? Thanks

[@EyesonAllSidez]

Did you find the answer to this question? Because I want to know.

[@yaxianwu3174]

my god of war crashed after maybe 1 hour play, but after installed this, it never crashed.

[@hugocifuentes4421]

You are amazing.. Thank you so much for the tutorial makes my idiot life much easier 🙏🏽

[@gabedavis890]

Thanks for this video. Hope it helps my issues

[@cjsimpao37]

Do you need to turn it on every time you turn off the steam deck?

[@tjbrody]

Thank you. This was helpful

[@MKroni1]

Thank you I can now play star wars battlefront 2 without it crashing!

[@prolixity3152]

i can play ark on official servers now thanks to you. thanks bruh.

[@sharmavishal7766]

Hey was wondering if I can install steam deck updates if I have Cyro utilities installed. Would the new firmware update remove cyro utilities settings?

[@EyeotPhoenix]

Does changing the VRAM have any negative side effects?

[@Marco_Ak]

I would like to know that as well

[@jamesalpas2043]

Hello. Just a noob question. Will cryoutilities affect or damage in any way on dual boot set ups? Is it safe to use while doing/having dual boot with windows?

[@redline7496]

What is the answer? I wanna know

[@nicolasperez8960]

This video was literally so helpful thank you. I just have one question do I need to keep it on 4G or can I bump it back down to 1G? 4G seems to lag one of the games I’m playing and tank the performance.

[@john-michaellouis9857]

Did you get an answer on this?

[@heyitsalix]

3rd step is maybe skipable? Changing the UMA Frame Buffer Size to 4GB I mean Idk anything about it myself but I seen people saying it's only if you installed Windows, but look into it yourself since idk how true that is!

[@EyesonAllSidez]

Is it recommended to play games from desktop mode or gaming mode after the download?

[@virlox]

thanks for the tutorial, definately subbing to you now

[@MalikKhiljiravengaming]

what i wanna know is how beneficial is this to steam deck oled.

[@adibmahamud9277]

Hey just wondering, when I download a new game from the store, do the cryoutilities settings apply automatically?

[@LowHangingFruitForest]

They’re system wide settings, so yes but no but yes

[@chrish560]

@@LowHangingFruitForest Do you HAVE to launch a game in Desktop Mode for it to work or does it also work in Gaming Mode?

[@LowHangingFruitForest]

@@chrish560 system wide. They’re OS level changes.

[@39i3]

Will this help improve vertex explosions for games such as pokemon scarlet on yuzu?

[@AlexanderEiffel]

Thanks for this video

[@stewartross13]

Will CryoUtilities start automatically and apply the settings each reboot or do you have to manually start it up?

[@GameTechPlanet]

Once you use cryo to setup your good to go. Its not something that even runs all the time. Rather a tool to help make the changes.

[@cryo4183]

What if I can’t change the UMA frame buffer more the 1G? It’s not giving me a 4G option

[@GameTechPlanet]

U have to do it in bios

[@cryo4183]

@@GameTechPlanet it’s showing up but like I said in my comment, it only shows 1G and nothing below if

[@rashedbinhuwaidi8906]

I did the recommended setting in swap current swap size says 2 GB in red why

[@AiglePlanchette186TV]

Hello launch recommended settings every time I turn on steam deck or only once ?

[@GameTechPlanet]

One time setting and you can go change anytime as well

[@ImmaBeast713]

So download Cryo through desktop mode on the Deck?

[@GameTechPlanet]

Yea the install and setup all needs to be done on desktop mode.

[@annathedamnbanana6016]

Oh no!! I’m very bad at this, I followed the steps but on current swap size it says 1 GB in red instead of 16gb in green. Did I screw up?

[@grahamweight7812]

Swap size on yours is 16 and green, mine is 12 and red but higher than 12 isn’t an option on mine, why?

[@rambomd3855]

So I literally jus did it and I got 8 my only Theory is that he has the 512gb steam deck. You have the 216gb and I have the 64gb. If you do have the 216gb steam deck I may be correct.

[@Rob-md6ml]

Free space on the internal hdd

[@nadsenix1540]

​@@rambomd3855I also have 64gb steamdeck. So what number should i use to swap file? mine only shows 8gb

[@RedneckPassportHolder]

The konsole part keeps instantly closing and doesn't install as soon as I hit continue

[@HardDrumStep]

It doesn't let me open the file(unknown file type), it wants me to select a program to install it with, what should I choose?

[@NoteCat540]

I did as the video said. It installed fine first time but, I noticed horizon zero dawn and lies of p didn't open. Instead freezing up and forcing me to restart my whole system. So I went back to return it to defult settings, it only froze my screen on the enter password menu with green pixels covering parts of my screen. So I restarted my system and tried again, this time using the uninstaller and then the installer before trying to open it again. Same problem, now the keyboard will freez up shortly before my screen freezes. It's been 3 hours if me repeating this process continuously, I feel insane. I can't play any games, I can't uninstall, I can't find solutions on youtube. Please help.

[@TheSilverTRex]

A Steam deck update reset all my settings, so I have to re-do a lot of this😢

[@kryshtop]

If you update Proton version, setting become reset. just checked

[@jamh666init]

Can you confirm if cryo utilities stops God Of War crashing with that memory leak issue ? Thanks

[@joshuaM0]

Is their a cutilities with rog ally?

[@BiggWillps2]

My recommended swap size is set to 12GB instead of 16Gb like in the video. And it's red when finished. What does this mean?

[@GameTechPlanet]

Have u tried adjusting it manually? You can use the recommended settings in cryo but you can also set them yourself and adjust as you like

[@snoopdog2704]

is CryoUtilities work on Quack games?

[@GameTechPlanet]

I can’t speak specifically to “ cracked “ or “ pirated “ games. But the tweaks are system wide and affect all games and software in their own way.

[@asscrackburger6932]

Yes it works. Just did it on cyberpunk

[@quinnporter289]

Does Vram help games run better?

[@GameTechPlanet]

Typically yes but its also very game dependent. Not all are the same.

[@TheVvang90]

are there any games that won't work with it? Try on infamous and still didn't make a difference..

[@samuelabenavides1730]

Can it only be used for the SSD or can I use it for games on the SD card?

[@andydougy4347]

you are modifying the settings on the deck itself so any game played would benefit regardless where it was installed from

[@stephenhampton7444]

Can this help me on the non ssd steamdeck cause i have the 64gb steamdeck with a 512GB SD Card ??

[@pkpkpkok]

this app can let my sd oled use ram more less?

[@TheMasterblaster32]

Can this be installed on the sd card instead of the ssd?

[@VegitoBlackityBlack]

No

[@And-War]

Hi does cryo also help with removing Data

[@my2randomcents]

What are the ??? On clean game data??

[@MrAboutLife]

Can I use this while offline ?

[@GameTechPlanet]

Yes. After installed and setup your good to go

[@MrAboutLife]

@@GameTechPlanet another question, when I switch to recommended settings can I fully close the program and go back to normal gaming mode ?

[@MrAboutLife]

@@GameTechPlanet or does it have to be open 24/7

[@eljusticiero322]

​@Resollect even if you restart the unit will keep on going

[@jcc4543]

When i download cryoutilities and install it my internal storage went 14GB I have 30 GB left before

[@jethroclimacosa1803]

Mine only goes up to 4G for swapfile. Does it matter? Or how do i get 16?

[@nadsenix1540]

I think it's because you're using 64gb ssd steamdeck

[@AWeGPUs]

Great video! Does anyone here in the comments know if (and how much) sekiro performances get better using cryoutilities 2.0? I already checked many other videos on this utilities package and overall it improves performance “by a lot”, especially on AAA open world games. Still I couldn’t find anything specific for Sekiro. Please I’ll be very grateful if someone gives me some information about it

[@StoryoftheYear16]

The side by side has cryo looking way worse at the same fps, hopefully that's just hogwarts.

[@bikelifepov9617]

Looks cool but I'll never download that program.
