i used an external Controller, the 8bito Ultimate 2,4Ghz and need to switch from x-input toi d-input to select the menu
At first launch the game wanted to connect to Epic online Service, i dont know why, but after that it launches without any issues
The game works great so far on the Steam deck! There are a few glitches in the graphics in the game, but I think that's more due to the game and not the performance of the Steam deck.
Note: Game freeze with Proton-6.19-GE-2, but with earlier versions it runs perfectly!
If the user got the game to run with the launcher trick, it will work great! Runs like native!
proton 6.4-GE-1 GloriousEggroll
proton 6.5-GE-1 GloriousEggroll
open the terminal
Navigate to the installation directory of EG2:
cd /path_to_your_steam_directory/SteamLibrary/steamapps /common/Evil Genius 2/Launcher
create a backup of eg2.exe (optional):
mv eg2.exe eg2.exe.back
create a link from evilgenius_vulkan.exe to eg2.exe (bypasses the launcher):
ln -s ../bin/evilgenius_vulkan.exe eg2.exe
Then it run out the box.
Work fine with Proton!
Some Update may broke the game (won't start) but Proton Exerimental fixed it for me
The game could be installed and played straight out of the box. Except for the problem with antializing, it works great!
Game crash while joining a game when antialising is on
Game Crash after choosing a DB
Tutorial works, but if you start a new singleplayer game it crashes after choosing a DB
