Anyone got this to run on Steam Deck Windows 11?

[realizationman2003]

Downloaded this game twice. Gets to the title screen asks you to Press the "A" button and that's the extent of my game play so far. The 1st time i downloaded i pressed "A" after while staring at loading screen says connection lost, tried many of the online fixes, nothing. 2nd time i downloaded, i forgot to sign into EA and teased me that i can play offline, i chose play offline only to get an endless loading screen, Then shut it all down and logged into EA; tried launching from the EA app as well as steam and still nothing. Either i get an endless loading screen or a connection lost message. it has been very frustrating.. tried the latest APU steam windows driver too, still nothing.

If anyone got it working on Steam Deck Windows 10 or 11 please comment below thanks.

i realy don't know why you would use Windows 10 or 11 on your Steamdeck? on SteamOS it works perfectly and on my Windows 11 pc as well

maybe this has to do with Steamdeck hardware not fully supporting windows 10 or 11

Try to Run as admin. The deck can handle some pretty beefy games if you've got it plugged in with maximum power settings.

If i was a portable gamer i would opt for the SteamOS. My deck is always docked and use it as a PC to do alot more that run games. I can do 3D modelling using Blender, run Fortnite +and other PC related tasks. i got it to replace my old PC and at the time the Steam Deck was the most affordable option of which i have had no issues other than NFS Unbound.

Also as a gamer who plays Rocket League, i` used to go thru at least 3 xbox controllers a year till the release of the Gamesir Anti drift controller. Even the Steam deck does not use magnetic Hall effect magnets for anti drift ( a very old technology that Dreamcast controllers had 20+ years ago), If the Steam Deck control sticks lost its play-ability it would be devastating as the whole deck would have to be sent away to be repaired.

Yep it sure is beefy runs my other games fine, Thxs i tried your suggestion run NFS Unbound.exe as admin, still comes up connection lost, I have never had an issue with any other games losing connection so it just weird, i checked forum, others have experienced this issue too, but seems to be no solution that works, having tried some.

I have not tried yet but i plan to see if i can install the Steam OS on an external SSD drive and see if it boots from there to try NFS Unbound. Appreciate your suggestion to run as admin, that was one i had not tried.

Then i'am sorry i thought you are using at as a portable device. Not as a desktop replacement. Sorry for my rude behaviour.

Got the game running on Steam Deck tho had to boot Steam OS from external SSD. Sad to say even capped to 30 fps with graphics set to low was not impressed by the Steam Decks` performance. This game (according to others on the forum say) requires a 6 core processor.

What's strange is NFS Heat has the exact same graphics if not slightly better, but requires a fraction of the power.
