Does anyone have experience with playing Baldurs Gate 3 from GOG? (feddit.de)

I have read it runs fine on steam but would rather buy it on GOG due to the lack of DRM.

Huh weird, I haven't had an issue with Steam for a long time, and that's on both NVIDIA and AMD. Granted, this is on a desktop, not a laptop, so if there's any kind of issues switching with the iGP, I'm not going to see it. I've also never had an issue with download speed, but my Internet connection isn't super fast anyway (just 50 down).

My issue is that Heroic doesn't seem to fix controller issues, so games are hit and miss on my Steam Deck. It works fine on desktop though.

I really wish I could figure out the download issue. My connection:

Steam:

Heroic:

I have tried a few solutions I've seen in various Steam forum posts, and asked for advice on the Discord for Nobara. I'm a Linux newbie though and I don't have much knowledge to sort stuff like this out. I have also been having the disappearing cursor issue in some Steam games. Again, can't track down a solution that works, though I've tried a few things. My overall experience with Linux has been great, and I almost never boot Windows anymore, but there are some issues for sure.

Have you tried Limiting download speed in steam settings?. I followed a tip somewhere and set it to 10000000 (10gb/s) and it worked for me (I was having similar speed issues).

Yeah, that's weird. Maybe a bad mirror?
