I play it on the deck all the time and it’s fine, graphics turned down to potato but they still look decent, and the FPS stays good in all but the most insane of situations (I play on difficulty 8/9, so I’m experiencing the most enemies possible). Only “hard” part is there’s no aim assist for controller so the high precision weapons like snipers are harder to use, but that doesn’t stop me from trying haha

It runs great! Granted I turned all the graphics to minimum, but the game still looks good and runs great. Only problem is if there’s just an absurd amount of particle effects it can get a little frame-y, but I play at the second-highest difficulty (so lots of enemies) and frames only happen every 20 matches or so at most

I regularly use 4 wireless Xbox controllers for this exact purpose, and it works great. There’s always the occasional Bluetooth quirks, but overall it’s seamless

Bought Portal 1 + 2 for my love, they’d never played them before and they’re tied for my all-time favorite game so couldn’t pass it up for $1.98. Plus always on the lookout for co-op games to play :D

For me, I finally bought Cyberpunk 2077, although funnily enough I decided to buy it on GoG since they’re the actual developers of the game. Is working perfect through Heroic so far, although to be fair I’ve only made it just past the intro

Crazy that Binding of Isaac is still in there, it’s been years since the last release and it’s not really in the public consciousness the same way something like Vampire Survivors is. Fantastic game though, happy to see it continue to succeed

I attempted, it got done downloading most of the BG3 installers, and then… It all just disappeared? No record of the files or downloads anywhere. Since it took an hour+ I gave up on that angle

I gave up, so many workarounds and reinstalls and everything for nothing. I’ve refunded and purchased through steam. Luckily someone else in this thread gave me a tip even the steam version is DRM-free, so that’s nice

Thanks for the hot tip, after spending 10+ hours struggling I’m just refunding and going to get it on steam. Having to zip my own backup is slightly annoying, but much less so than this nonsense

Honestly, same, my buying habits did a full 180 (I use to wait to get a game on GoG, now I never do). But my witcher 3 I had on GoG worked great even if it was a little less convenient, and BG3 seems like a game I’ll want to have forever, so I figured why not. Unfortunate that they had to go and give me a reason why not…

Still failed :/ If I can ask, when did you get your steam deck? Maybe there’s subtle manufacturing differences causing the issue? I got mine Sept 2022

Nope, nothing, I haven’t really modded my deck at all. I did have dexky just for steamgriddb and protondb badges, but I uninstalled both of those and then dexky itself just to be sure and no changes

Tried this on a fresh install (including new prefix) and no luck. Currently just un and reinstalled heroic itself, and am waiting for my Bauldurs gate download (again), I’ll try these steps again once that’s done and hope for the best

I was trying Heroic, but it didn’t work. I’ve installed other games through Heroic and they worked just fine. Currently installing it through Lutris to see if that works for some reason

Yep found that in my various googles, sadly none of those tricks helped me

Yep, with both exes, no dice. Currently waiting for my lutris download as a next step to try

Seconding Plate Up! It’s like overcooked, except the difficulty comes from finding the best ways to run a restaurant, instead of lol-so-random kitchen mechanics. And it’s still getting regular content updates too!

God, HotS with even a little developer support + steam deck w/ a good controller scheme would bring me back so hard. Still the best Moba imo, so sad it got abandoned

I did, for the enemy scaling mod. It requires making a “Mods” folder in the Witcher folder, and the copying the mod there, no further work. Was easy enough to do in desktop mode with the GUI

I played entirely in handheld mode, and it works fantastic. It does take some getting used to the “language” of the control scheme, but once you do it feels super smooth, and it’s impressive how much they were able to fit into a controller layout. Plus Steam Decks modifiable controls go that last mile to make things great (for example, I assigned two back button to zoom in and zoom out, as the default controls for that are kinda slow to use)
