Hi, recently I've been trying to play older games such as dishonored, silent hill 3, deadspace 2, fallout 3, re5 and re6. Ive been having trouble running these. I know that a) you can play these game on the deck and b) the files itself arn't corrupted. The problem is setting them up in the first place. Ive tried using protontricks, switching over to proton ge and other forms of such but I have yet to get these older games working. The game files is from steamrips itself soI can assume the files should work. The only games I could get working is devil may cry 1-3 but even then the laucher was finicky and most likely only work cuz it was an hd remaster. Has anybody gotten these games to work or have any ideas on where to start itself. Please let me know. Thanks

when I try to run these two games on my steam deck, this error pops up. I tried to enter:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="steamclient64.dll,steam_api64.dll=n,b" PROTON_DISABLE_LSTEAMCLIENT=1 %command%

In the launch options, but without result, the game may not give an error window, but then it just crashes

I wanted to play FH5 on my steam deck, so i downloaded the game from ankergames, did everything i could (adding dllorverrides, using lutris etc.) and i still couldnt launch the game. Any tips how to get this game working? I want to play it in an offline mode :)

I’ve added the StarfieldCustom.ini file to my documents/mygames/Starfield then added

[Archive]

bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

sResourceDataDirsFinal=

To the StarfieldCustom.ini text file

Then I downloaded the mod & put it in my Data Folder.

Mod not working & assumed it is placed incorrectly. Any advice?

I have a Steam Deck that not holding any important infomation or data. So I want try the hypervisor bypass. I’m fine with my Steam Deck get some malware if it at least can recover to a stable phase. The problem is I heard that these type of bypass can go to your kernel level and fuck up with your bios, basically infect it from the hardware level. Is this true? And if this true, can you recover from it (like reflash the bios)?
