Just noticed that! So, installing as we speak.

After some fiddling in the first week I never really cared about getting my gog games to my Deck - but now for that I'd be interested what's the best option to install, keep up to date and sync my saves?

Nice, currently installing it on my Steam Deck right now

Does the font size get bigger when it's running on the Deck's screen?

[–] JustLookingForDigg@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I don't think so, played a little and the text was readable though.

I'm finally playing thru the Witcher 3 (always stopped at like 10hrs before, currently 22hrs in) but as soon as I'm done with it I'm buying this game. Can't wait plus we should all be supporting a game with no microtransactions

What settings are y'all using? I have everything mostly on low and getting a decent framerate, but it looks like ass.

I'd be happy figuring out how to make hair not look terrible.

Here's the advice I found somewhere else, it looks really good now:

I'm running a few lows and mediums, but the most important are textures at medium or high, models on medium and low, FSR on Ultra Quality and AA on the far option. The image quality becomes acceptable and it runs at 30 fps with ocasional dips.

Still haven't made it past character creation

I'm almost level 60 in Diablo, without going into the new season.. How do I find time for another endless game?

Does Baldurs Gate work offline?

[–] freddy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It works offline for me on my steamdeck.

I can't get it to run past the Nvidia GameWorks logo. Just a straight crash back to SteamUI every time.

I've not changed any settings. If it's deck verified it should just work right?

[–] Azurebalmunk@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Try using Proton Experimental.

[–] VerifiablyMrWonka@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tried it. Also a whole bunch of other versions incl GE.

Found someone on Facebook with the same problem so at least it's not just me eh?!

Looks like we've both got Cryotools and decky power tools installed so it could be that.

Given I uninstalled it and its huge I cant check that just yet though.

If you tried a bunch of other proton versions, you may need to clear the compatdata dir for the game and then run again with experimental. The directory can get in a weird state with some games if you try to run multiple proton versions - i.e. one applies a fix on startup that breaks it in another version.
