You need GE Proton to play some of the Pre-rendered cutscenes like the Company Logos.
Ran flawlessly outside of that. All of my Gametime is on Steam Deck. In 70 hours only had 1 crash. If you were disapointed with this game's Nintendo Switch port, the PC version on Steam Deck is what you're looking for.
You have to use Proton 8.0-5 and disable steam input in options, otherwise it won't detect a controller as being connected in the games options menu, which allows you to enable the controller in set options menu. After that it works perfectly.
when you first launch the game it'll get stuck in a loop on the main menu trying to load, just Force exit and restart and it'll work fine.
If you're looking for the DLC, the only place you can still buy it is in the Dead Rising 2 Complete Pack on Humble Bundle. If you purchase it and redeem all the keys the DLC will load like normal. they were delisted from Steam at one point because of an issue, but the issue apparently is no longer present, but the DLC is still delisted.
unfortunately, this complete pack is $32 and never goes on sale. figured I'd put it out there regardless.
This runs like a Dream on Deck, It's too bad it's got so many minor issues that can keep people away from it, I only found out that proton 8.0-5 thing on a random Reddit post After researching for an hour. If you look things up, you'll see a bunch of stuff about downloading Xbox 360 controller drivers or using a community made controller mapping, you don't need to do any of that. Just use proton 8.0-5 and enable the controller in the options menu.
There's always a Mouse cursor in the upper felt of the Main Menu screen. You can safely ignore it, game uses the buttons like normal.
It just runs like most "RPG Maker" Games do.
I'd recomend going into the Performance tab, and turning FSR on at 5. Game is a little blurry without it. The Pixel setting also looks nice too.
Runs perfectly out of the Box.
It's called "Steam Edition" because this has "SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millenium" swapped out for "Crush Roller." You can buy the afforementioned game seperatly on Steam for $8.
Played this with my friend that lives on the opposite side of the US. Had no issues (she uses a Desktop PC.)
