Lossless Scaling + PCSX2 on Steam Deck causes massive slowdown in pause/menu screens

Hey everyone,

I’m using Lossless Scaling with PCSX2 on my Steam Deck through EmuDeck, and overall it works really well. I’m able to play some 30 FPS PS2 games at what feels like a smooth 60 FPS using frame generation.

However, I’m running into a weird issue in some games. Whenever I open a pause menu or certain in-game menus, the game suddenly becomes EXTREMELY slow and laggy. As soon as I leave the menu, gameplay goes back to normal.

My guess is that these menus internally run at 60 FPS already, and Lossless Scaling/frame generation is conflicting with that somehow, but I’m not sure.

My settings are basically all default except i have “Skip Presenting Duplicate Frames” enabled

Has anyone else experienced this with PCSX2 or emulators in general? Any idea what setting could fix it?

Thanks!
