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?

Specifically I’ve got Dispatch, Elden Ring, and Cyberpunk I’m trying to get set up.

I have the Ryujinx set up as part of Emudeck, so not too worried about that.

Basically once I unpack the games I’m not sure what exactly needs to get transferred over to the Deck in general. Like the whole folder under C:/Games/Dispatch or whatnot.

When you say I need the Proton set up — you mean I need to fully download a different repack of the game that runs on Linux? I know Proton GE and Experimental are launch types I can use on the deck for stability and such when launching via Steam. But I can’t even get the .exe or whatnot to get recognized by the Deck when I pulled it from a Flash Drive.

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.
