Hi, I was interested in playing the HD version of Beyond good and evil on my Steam Deck. I did some research online and I found out that at least to 1 year ago the Steam version of the game had many issues (only french language and settings related problems). Anyone knows if those issues are still there or I can buy the game safely? Alternatively can I buy the game on gog and play it fine on my Steam Deck using Heroic game launcher? I read that the gog version is great while the Steam version is not. Lastly I could download the PS3 version since I already have the rpcs3 emulator installed, but I can't find where to download the game and how to install a pkg (since on PS3 apparently exists only a PSN version of the game and I always only installed ISOs). I don't have any preference, the important is that the game works without tinkering. Thank you πŸ™

Definitely seems like some tinkering is required, but seems like a one time procedure.

I guess the alternative would be to run a console version via emulator

I do hope Valve implement a Community patch system for Proton so these Steam Deck specific tweaks can be easily applied with a few button presses.

this is exactly what Proton-GE does.

That’s what protonfixes does however the handful of fixes they have vs the number in comments on ProtonDB leaves a lot to be desired. As I said, it would be great if Valve did this, a la Workshop, so fixes could be voted and applied in Steam rather than flipping to a different build of Proton and a system where fixes are invisible and limited.

Yes, I was wondering if all the tinkering is still required after 1 year. Didn't Ubisoft updated/fixed the Steam version of the game since then? 🫀

I just installed it and gave it a test run; can confirm tinkering is still required. Without it, the audio language is French and the game only shows up in a small square and doesn't use the full screen. The game settings (which presumably fixes this) also doesn't work

Would not recommend without tinkering

I doubt UbiSoft remembers it even exists πŸ˜‚

The fact that a 20th Anniversary Edition of BG&E exists leaked today, so you might want to wait for that to be a thing.
