Hello!
I’ve been a somewhat new member of the community here. My crummy windows PC can’t really handle any games outside of maybe some GBA emulators.
However! I recently was gifted a Steam Deck.
As a test, ages ago, I tried to set up Yuzu and Tears of the Kingdom on my W11 machine.
It crashed on launch, but BG3 didn’t! It ran on 2 frames per second.
I have a few other similar games that I would love to play on my Deck. But I’m not sure how to get the files transferred!
I tried using KDE Connect to move the Repacked files over, but couldn’t get that working.
I then tried dropping the repacks into a USB and transferring that, but it didn’t seem to work either — the file wasn’t recognized.
Should I just set up my Steam Deck from scratch and ignore my seedbox of a laptop?
Proton is just a compatibility layer to make Linux run Windows games.
Normally if you install a game via Steam Proton just kind of works.
https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-launcher should let you use Proton without using Steam.
And yeah, you want the entire folder titled ‘Dispatch.’
Linux won’t really recognize .exes. Those are a Windows thing, so you have to run them via some sort of compatibility software like Proton or WINE.
