Any way to make it work for Steam Deck?

[Dairyman]

I've seen numerous reddit post / protonDB comments claiming that the game CAN work on Steam Deck, but I have a green UI / mouse cursor problem. Switching between different versions of proton didn't fix anything.

Yeah Thanks for the info, but I'm done trying.

I do understand. It shouldn't be this much of a faff for a game that is perfectly suited to the Deck.

I've tried a few of the older Disney games on the Deck and it's only Brave and Alice In Wonderland that have been without issue. Brave was a surprisingly entertaining twin stick shooter. Just needed achievements.

I have been playing other Disney games as well. So far almost every Disney game worked that I own, at least with GE proton. Toy story 3, Tron Evolution, Disney Universe, Alice in Wonderland and Cars 2 are all working great. It's only Epic Mickey 2 that has the green ui problem

If the green ui issue is still occurring, make sure to bring it up here.

Yeah I'm done with this problem. Uninstalled and refuned

The green UI issue is seemingly caused by the game being in a directory other than what it expects (the steamapps folder). Every time I have seen this occurring it is specifically caused by that. My guess is that Proton isn't simulating Window's paths correctly or is making the game think it's in a directory other than what it expects. No clue how this would be fixed on the user side, it will likely have to be fixed by Proton themselves.

After reading this thread I installed it on the microSD of my OLED Deck, latest stable firmware. I applied Proton GE-Proton9-7 to it, and when I launched it I went to the settings app to check resolution (no changes were needed) and launched it.

The game runs perfect on first launch this way, sound/video and controls are all working. No issues at all, it even displays at a perfect resolution without black borders.

Edit: I added some more details, so OP - rest assured this game works perfectly.

Tried the above and it worked. Has to be on ad the SSD seemed to cause issue. I’m also using latest proton GE

update your deck inside gaming mode.

I swear if you make me install and try this for the 6th and it still doesn't work I will be mad

Hey so I downloaded this game from a source that is not steam and had this same problem, I don't use Linux so I tried moving the game directory from the desktop to the steamapps folder and now the ui it's normal! thank you so much, you saved my life.

I’ve tried different proton versions too and still seeing the green square which is really
Annoying—how else can I try to fix it? And without putting on an SD card
