Anyone test this with Proton?

I don't know if there's a plan in place to make this run on the deck, but I've kissed windows goodbye on my PC as well.

Figured it couldn't hurt to ask! (Especially since I am tempted but shouldn't necessarily indulge my impulse to blow ~$20 either.)

I have tested it on Steam Deck, right now it does run but there is an annoying dialogue that runs every time you launch the game, prompting you to install some prerequisites, it only takes about 20 seconds to install but since it needs to be done every time you launch it does get annoying.

Proton 7 stops this happening but will cause a fatal error when you enter Westminster. I'd say, if you would find the dialogue that pops up on every launch too annoying, it would be better to hold off until I can get Linux and SteamOS figured out, if you don't mind the slight inconvenience it runs fine after that.

Recommended settings on Steam Deck:
All Settings: Medium
Global Dynamic Illumination: High
Temporal Super Resolution: 70 (Alternatively you can use FSR on the Ultra Performance mode.)

I plan on building a native Linux version for full Steam Deck support, I tried this today but I am using some plugins that need building against Linux as well, it's going to take me a bit of time to figure out how to get it to actually build.

Thanks for reaching out, I hope I can get it fully Steam Deck supported soon!

Thanks for the quick reply! I will be sure to keep an eye out for those sweet, sweet updates. :)

Best of luck, my friend

And feel free to reach out directly if it would be helpful to have an extra machine or two testing - once you're set, I mean.

Your game looks excellent and I'm excited to eventually give it a go. :) Again, thanks for being so responsive. Be careful not to get burnt out!

I have bought this game and really want to play it on my Steam Deck OLED but when the game launches, I just get a black screen and my deck just freezes and I have to reboot. I've seen other people playing it on the deck but nobody is really saying what proton they used etc. I've tried proton experimental which works with most of the games I buy but this one has me stumped. Sorry but I'm a noob to the deck so any help so I can play this game would be most appreciated.

Did you try the latest Proton GE? If not, that might be the ticket. Snag ProtonUp-QT from the store via Desktop mode.

Thanks for the reply 👍🏻 I've got ProtonUp-QT already and have been using experimental for most of the games that need a little tweek to get running. I haven't tried the latest GE though so I'll give it a go and let you know. On another page someone recommended verifying the install data in case a file was missing and then recommended basically trying every version of Proton until it runs. I guess it's just going to be trial and error until the developer make the game more stable 😕

Just a heads up but doing what you said and using the latest GE Version worked! 😃 Thanks so much for the advice 👍🏻

Hey, that's great news! How's it running?
