The game does not work on the steam deck even on the lowest settings no matter the proton version
This game in its current windows only executable running on top of a Linux wrapper at 16 gigabytes will not run on the steam deck no matter what version of proton assigned even at its lowest settings, Why is it even available in the steam store when it won’t even run? Either fix the issues, build a true Linux-only client or refund me and all deck owners who purchased the game believing that it is playable on this platform when in fact it’s not. Seriously, DO BETTER. BE BETTER.
Changed texture quality to low
Adjusted entire deck settings to performance
Another player submitted a suggestion:
"Just installed it on my OLED 512 GB Deck. Game loaded fine, but starting R4A3 crashed the Deck (display went black, had to hard turn off). On the 2nd start I changed only texture quality to half, started R4A3 again and it loaded fine. No idea if texture quality is related though. Standard control settings with gyro are new to me, but the game does work. Using recommended Proton version, which is 8.05. I have clocked over 800 hrs in the game, 99% on Linux desktop. And looks like (despite the initial crash on cage drop) it works well on Deck too. You could try to delete the game, that should clear the Proton Prefix and the shader cache. Maybe that helps? Otherwise the game seens to work though. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce your issue on my Deck(s)."
After I made these adjustments, the game performed normally on the default full screen without any issues and connected online.
Game text is very difficult to see and read
No option to enlarge the game text
Adjusted the graphic settings
