Been enjoying Steamrip and have been having issues getting games running on SteamOS.

Games launch just fine on Desktop Mode, but only seem to “work” if they’re in the background. If I have the system key pressed I can see the games loading or animations working properly, but the games are frozen when in Fullscreen or Windowed.

Tried swapping resolutions and running in Game mode, but it would continue to be hung in Desktop mode or stuck on the Steam logo when booting from Game Mode.

Also tried Proton Hotfix, Proton Experimental, and Proton 11.

Tried games like Pragmata, FF16, Big Walk, and Resident Evil 2.

Other games from Steam work just fine on both SSD and SD card.

I haven’t set Lutris up on my deck yet, but I think trying to run them via Lutris is the next step.

Edit: Oh and I tried the winelovers n,b %command% as well for FFXVI. Weirdly I had it working, and then it “broke” when I was trying to install a mod to get DLSS3 working and to get the cutscenes working with FrameGen so they wouldn’t drop to 15-25 FPS.

headcrab (its like h3adcr-b or something on the git) to install and update slssteam and prevent steam client from updating beyond compatible versions, add game appid to config file, put the game files where steam would normally install them, launch from steam like a purchased game. dlcs work without needing to bring your own files if you put the appid in the same config file. if you also use another piece of software called slscheevo and make sure the steam api dll file is unmodified, achievements also work and in most releases the unmodified one is backed up next to the patched one.

I haven't tested on actual steamos but it works on my bazzite deck as well as on normal distros. I find it far less troublesome than bottles/lutris/heroic or manual prefixes and its the most seamless once set up. Also bypasses family share restrictions and I've tested 4 players on one copy of a purchased game in the same multiplayer lobby.

I will check it out. I’ve been dying to get FFXVI working once I found out it’s actually somewhat playable with mods when using the demo.
