Game made Steam OS crash multiple times while playing with friends. Controllers are switching characters randomly. Bad experience.
Some controllers were randomly switching characters. Meaning for example some of my friends were the green and then suddenly they were the purple guy. Very confusing
At the first real boss the game not only crashed but made my steam deck restart its operating system. Multiple times and on the same part of the game. This while playing with friends. It made me embarrassed of my console in front of everyone.
What I said earlier about controllers switching between characters super randomly. Annoying.
If there is the badge that I don't own the game is because I asked for the refund. Terrible experience on the Deck.
You need to uninstall Powertools from Decky for this game to run, otherwise it crashes at launch. It took me several hours to identify the problem. It must be an issue with SMT disabling/enabling.
Just be carful of POWER TOOLS. That Decky plugin will make this game crash at launch. I should try to reinstall it and see if with SMT enabled it launches.
Crashy game and it starts in Japanese. Set Proton to 7.0.6 and change language in the initial launcher in the settings, first window.
Intro crashed with high settings. Start with low and then pass to high
10 W TDP
Game started in Japanese. You need to set it to the language you want into the main menu.
Crashes on intro with high settings (this with dafault proton maybe 7.0.6 fixes this). With UnX mod (compatibility version) it crashes quite much. It's normal for the first few boots to crash but after it should stabilize but I couldn't really get past the cutscene when Yuna almost falls the stairs in Besaid Temple. Set Proton on 7.0.6 and you should be good. Also if you use UnX mod use the following launch: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n, b" %command%
Frustrating experience for me but don't give up and try what I wrote here.
It runs with few tweaks but there are frustrating 1-2 mins black screens in adventure mode before game starts and when quitting
-safe
I changed the keyboard-like "button based spell casting" moving mode switch to R4 (under buttons go to the mode shift configuration go to its settings and you can change its button), and i remapped the other back grip buttons to have the A,B,X,Y original functions
Playing adventure after the cutscene of Vlad telling the story you have 1-2 minutes of black screen before the game starts. Same thing when quitting the game.
Aside from the tinkering steps to run it (otherwise it crashes at launch) and the black screens, tweaking controls you can improve the gamepad experience but it's still harder than playing with keyboard and mouse. I think it's impossible to beat the hard parts of the game with the controller even if tweaked. I finished this game plus all DLCs (that are hard) with keyboard and mouse but with the controller i was struggling to play because it's more limiting.
Worked perfectly out of the box. Played with some friends in local co-op with my steam deck docked without any issues. Should be platinum
I don't even know why the rating is only gold. Even at the first boot, it booted up very quickly and everything just worked without any effort whatsoever.
Epic version with Heroic games launcher: took me a while to understand how to make it launch. Had to go trough reddit
Installing vcrun2017 or vcrun2022 through winetricks IS NOT ENOUGH, you need to install dotnet46 as well. And it will take a while to install
