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?

you mean, run non-steam games on steam deck, using your existing files?

if so, you'll need to transfer them and duplicate what the installer does, in a Wine environment like proton, and that's prone to error and subtle necessities, like this or that software / windows component not being present. it's honestly not worth it. you can't (or usually can't) do this windows->windows, and it's even harder to go windows->Linux (wine).

if you mean, transfer the steam games from windows to deck, then just enable local sharing.
