I HAVE A FIX FOR STEAM DECK OLED IN GAME MODE!!!

Vulkan is broken in game mode and you will see polygon lines on character models and horizontal lines and triangles on the backgrounds. It varies depending on the scene and can be reduced by increasing the internal resolution which also costs a lot of battery life. There is no way to get rid of it entirely! You have to run it in D3D12 and disable HDR and that will fix everything in game mode. Until now it has been recommended to just run the game in desktop mode to avoid the problem. But then you lose all the nice things about game mode like the performance overlay and all the other good stuff.

TO FIX IT IN GAME MODE:
In Desktop mode run the launcher with Lutris as you normally would. You probably need to configure the shortcut in Lutris to run the FFY_SYW_Unified.exe first. In "Drivers and patches" change it to D3D12, fullscreen, 16:10, and set internal resolution and AA to x2, "play FF7" from the launcher to save the changes. While in desktop mode hold the start button to switch to gamepad controls so you can control the game. Just quit the game after it loads. Configure your Lutris shortcut back to the FF7.exe and save.

Switch back to game mode, go to properties for the game, go to launch options. You will see a string that tells game mode where to run the game with lutris. You need to add a command here to turn off HDR for the game. It needs to go in front of the run command!

The command is DXVK_HDR=0 %command%

So your launch options will look like this: DXVK_HDR=0 %command% run net.lutris.Lutris lutris:rungameid/2

The number at the end of your string might be different depending on how many other games you have set up with Lutris before. Just don't change anything after "run" and put the command at the beginning and it will work!

Enjoy the game working perfectly in gamemode! The lines are gone and the colors are normal and not washed out anymore! Performance and battery life are pretty good!

HUGE THANK YOU TO THE MOD MAKERS AND SATSUKI FOR THIS PACK!!! FF7 has a special place in my heart because it was a game I shared with a close friend when we were kids and he sadly passed a few years ago. Playing FF7 with this pack on my steam deck is just incredible, it looks amazing and with this HDR fix it's been a flawless experience so far. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is all I ever wanted for a remaster of FF7 personally. The new remakes are cool and all but I just wanted to play the OG with some updated graphics that doesn't change it too much. This pack does exactly that! It looks great and it's just the original game without any major changes. I'm very happy to be able to play it like this after all these years!

@Satsuki I humbly suggest that you update your steam deck instructions to use D3D12 and adding the above command to launch options. It fixes everything in gamemode and it's now a perfect experience on steam deck oled!
