TTW Works on SteamDeck

[Plutonium]

I have been playing the game a little on deck and have been loving it with only a few crashes which are fine as the autosave feature usually brings you right back to where you were.

In my experience, the crashes are very common on steam deck. Approximately one third of the times I fast travel or otherwise zone transition, and if I cycle menus too rapidly. I still managed to finish the game, but it grew frustrating after a couple days. I also suspect it's got a memory leak, but I dont have more than gut feeling and Unreal code history for that.

Were you on DX12 or DX11. DX11 is much more stable on Steam Deck.

Apologies for the hijack… can you run “any” Windows game on Steam Deck?

I own several non Steam games, including this one & was wondering.

Steam Deck runs Linux out of the box, so it may not run absolutely everything (without tweaks etc). I don't have one as they still don't sell it in this country, but I've seen a list of games that do support the deck, and apparently you can install Windows on it if you absolutely wish to do so, and that might help with some games. Perhaps best would be to ask on a Steam deck forum for advice on which games you own, and do they work.

@Shinigami - thanks

Almost, it runs on an application layer called "Proton" that allows most games to run that are not native to Linux, even if games are not originally on the Steam client. As long as you use "Add a Non-Steam Game.." you can run games or applications that aren't on Steam itself.

Dx12. Didn't know that 11 was more stable on the deck. Will try swapping next time I play TTW.

I was originally using dx12 but switched to 11 when I was hit with the gpu clock bug. Managed to sort that and it hasn't crashed since. Think dx12 might be a bit much for the steam deck. Not an expert so can know for sure.

So far as I'm aware it's mostly an case by case basis. Go for what you want to play then mess around with settings till your happy. If it won't boot then try different proton versions. The steam deck is great but it's not a switch and with Linux being so open and customisable there is some learning to be done. Steam seem to be pretty on it with support for the device so if a game doesn't work you can bet someone will be working on it, be it valve themselves or the community.

Hope you enjoy the deck.
