Steam Deck?

[Mister Shan]

Anyone ever get this working properly on the deck? Every time I get it working and come back to his later the game is broken again. The controls just never work with it.

Yeah i'm in the same boat, i suggest just remapping your controls as keybindings, that's what i did.

Yea, it works flawlessly on the Deck, just need to pick up a right community config for controls, i suggest looking for the one that also fixes the rotating camera.

I have tried them all. Can you please give me the specific name of it? Is it automatic?

There is an another problem on the steamdeck, the game crash before the beginning of the Sasha Nein's training, and i don't know why?

Same problem, none of the controller layouts work properly. Camera ends up spinning around :( how can steam mark this as playable?

Yea I really don't get it. So many games marked as unsupported work yet the verified or playable ones I have problems with. It's hit an miss and changes with updates it seems. If you find a fix for Psychonauts please post it.

To fix the spinning camera, try switching compatibility to Proton Experimental, then remap the right joystick to number pad controls: 2 for up, 8 for down, and 4 and 6 for left/right. Those can be switched per your preference.

That would obviously work but the camera would then be incredibly stiff and uncomfortable.

[El Hadatt]

I don’t disagree. It’s playable, though. Let’s face it — the controls are likely not going to get fixed for the Deck unless someone at DF decides to update the game. It’s 18 years old, I’m just happy I can play it on a portable device (so I can finally finish it and get to Psychonauts 2…). If I find any other ways to tweak it, I’ll reply again to this thread.

There has to be a remaster of this game coming soon, right? It's too much of a classic not to and it would sell gang busters on the switch as well. That would fix this.

Microsoft owns Doublefine so a remaster would not go anywhere but the Bone 2 and PC, my dude.
But yeah, handing a remaster of Nauts to some third party studio and have people from DF consult on it is a no no-brainer. It's something MS should have had ready right before Nauts 2 launched.

I know this but MS is bringing their games to the switch. But yea I mean having a functional one on Deck I would take. Just saying that switch market is huge and this type of game would make a ton there. It's so strange how inept they are at video games. They make great decisions like XBP but then make incredibly dumb ones like this or what they did to Halo.

[Mobile Suit God Damn]

Wait, what games from MS other than Minecraft is on Switch? Mojang had already signed a deal with Nintendo before the buyout happened so MS didn't have many options there.

Works fine for me.
You need to go to compatability mode and use Proton 6.38.

This will also ensure that cloud saves work between your windows PC and your Deck.
The default version that the Deck runs is the Linux build which i believe has a few issues.
