Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton9-9
Windowing:Activating Fullscreen, Other

windowed mode works only

Significant Bugs:

in windowed mode I can move cursor only on some smaller square than whole display. So cursor is limited to some lower resolution (screen size) than steam deck has. (playing on steam deck default screen 1280x800 - no external display)

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton9-9

By default with Proton Experimental, the games launcher will not run but the game shows as running. Switching to Proton GE 9-9 makes the launcher work and also the game itself. No need to rename .exe files or anything.

Tinker Steps:Changed configuration

Steam wants to start ShadowsOnTheVatican_1/SotV_Launcher.exe, but that doesn't work, we need to start ShadowsOnTheVatican_1/hd/SotV1.exe. With Proton 8 the older tips on this page don't work anymore, this is how I managed to start the game: create an executable script ~/vatican.sh that contains

cd /home/almos/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/ShadowsOnTheVatican_1/hd/
/home/almos/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_32/reaper SteamLaunch AppId=286360 -- /home/almos/.steam/debian-installation/ubuntu12_32/steam-launch-wrapper -- '/home/almos/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper'/_v2-entry-point --verb=waitforexitandrun -- '/home/almos/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Proton 8.0'/proton waitforexitandrun  '/home/almos/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/ShadowsOnTheVatican_1/hd/SotV1.exe'

and in Steam set the Launch options to ~/vatican.sh # %command%. With these the game runs perfectly.

Customizations:Something Else

Launch options: cd hd && ./SotV1.exe %command%

I tried previously running ./hd/SotV1.exe but it did't work, you have to be in the directory. Also %command% serves no purpose but if i don't include it Steam launches it with default options.
