Steam Deck Support

[jtd]

Just wanted to say that while the game is listed as "Unsupported" on Steam Deck, I installed it and it has been working perfectly so far.

Same experience here. Runs fine on the Deck, as far as I can tell.

This is a title I've tried pushing through repeatedly, though not constantly, over the years. Its age shows. It's kind of a pain to wrestle with. But I'd really like to have experienced the story all the way through, in this, as well as the second title and the third. I've just never been able to push all the way through them.

The Trails of Cold Steel series feels much closer to contemporary even in its first title.

Even the Crossbell titles come across as much more contemporary designs in terms of UI and "quality of life" features.

So we'll see. I've finally figured out a few features that are left for you to discover, that can make a big difference in some of the battle that, otherwise, seem lopsided. The Craft skills that attack in a line, for example, can be put to good use once you start to think about positioning as a battle proceeds.

So maybe, eventually. I'll get through it. I'd thought to wait on the Crossbell titles until I'd finished the Sky series, but now I don't know. Perhaps it'll be okay to backfill the story elements later.

That said, each time I try again I get a little further and get used to the feel a little more. But it really feels like learning to enjoy an antique car. It's a little odd, but kind of charming.

Can confirm, played and finished the FC and SC on my steam deck and it was working without any issues.

While saying that you are required to interact with the touch screen to activate the special moves (if there was a way to set the 4 buttons below the steam deck to function for each character special I was not aware of it) and there was a single instance on the SC last chapter where you had to enter multiply input that required touch screen mouse control which were a little pain to hover a single letter and click the button, but other than everything was working OK.

The controls for the different maps were working, for the inventory and even the speed up button was working.

So listing it as unsupported is a little miss-informative. It should go in the playable category.

The only issue I ran into was with the movies, I needed to use protontricks to get them running properly.

I've been trying to fix it, but haven't had any luck. I either get colored bars or a softlocked black screen. Here's what I've done.

> Downloaded Protontricks. Launch the app.
> Select The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky: 251150. Ok.
>Select the default wineprefix.
>Install a Windows DLL or component
>Select amstream, quartz, and LAVfilters
>Run the installation wizard for LAVfilters.
>Return to Gaming Mode.
>Attempt to launch the game.

However, I'll either get colored bars aor a blank screen.

You do any other step I'm missing?

I've installed it on Steam Deck and I keep repeatedly running into being locked out of the save function at random. Overwriting file prompt does nothing, new file slot won't save.

The game itself won't launch at all some times.

Definitely NOT playable.

Working fine on steamdeck, just had to change the aspect ratio to 1200x720. No protontricks or anything.

If anybody is having this issue, make sure the game isn't syncing to the cloud when you sleep/resume on the Deck. That is a feature that became enabled, and it seems to have been the main reason why the saving function would become completely broken while in the game for me.

On Proton 8.0-4 this isn't necessary and opening works for me.

Are you using an older version?

Have you been able to mod the jpn voices into the deck?

I also end up with the colored bars even when using the latest proton...
