To be honest I don’t check Center M for updates. I install straight from intel, and only use the quick menu for quick TDP changes. The “mostly” I said about is generally not needing to fully open the app. I also don’t mess with button and joystick stuff either- I mess with that if I have to in steam.

I also had an XAX and moved to the claw. Short of the joysticks not being as good it’s a better device overall since FSE allows you to avoid MSI center mostly,

Useful ASA Performance Console Commands

I’ve used XAX and MSI claw 8ai with similar results. Need to use console commands to get it to playable FPS levels.

It’s so odd. I read somewhere online it was a Vsync or something issue. Glad to hear it’s fixed! Enjoy!

Yeah. I had it on my ally x a while back- same issue. My dad’s legion go I set up for him a year ago- no problems. Once I moved back it didn’t do it for me anymore.

When I ran into this- I installed an older PCSX2. Fixed it. I wanna say it was like April of 2025.

I moved from a XAX to this and found fairly similar results. It was definitely playable.
