Hello!
I’ve been a somewhat new member of the community here. My crummy windows PC can’t really handle any games outside of maybe some GBA emulators.
However! I recently was gifted a Steam Deck.
As a test, ages ago, I tried to set up Yuzu and Tears of the Kingdom on my W11 machine.
It crashed on launch, but BG3 didn’t! It ran on 2 frames per second.
I have a few other similar games that I would love to play on my Deck. But I’m not sure how to get the files transferred!
I tried using KDE Connect to move the Repacked files over, but couldn’t get that working.
I then tried dropping the repacks into a USB and transferring that, but it didn’t seem to work either — the file wasn’t recognized.
Should I just set up my Steam Deck from scratch and ignore my seedbox of a laptop?
LocalSend can transfer files between pretty much any two machines with an absolute minimum level of setup, but it seems like your real problem is getting windows games to run on Linux outside steam. I use Lutris to install and run repacked windows games on Linux. Install Lutris from your steam deck’s package manager, click the plus in the top left to add a game, select install from exe, and make sure in the repack’s install wizard to put it on C:\ instead of Z:\ which it will probably default to.
I will try this and report back. Thanks BuckyKat!
Please do feel free to ask more questions if you need help or more details
Okay. So I was able to install to Lutris, set it up, and got this error when installing to my SD card. It has 117 GB free, and I only need around 70 GB free according to the installer.
Error message I got was.
An error occurred while unpacking: Not enough memoryl
Unarc.dIl returned an error code: -5
ERROR: archive data corrupted (decompression fails)
I’m guessing this is a fitgirl repack? Try the “limit to 2GB memory” checkbox on the first page of the installer.
Update!
I ended up grabbing the Dodi Repack of Dispatch — just as a test — and got that working. So I think I’m good to go now.
Thanks for your help!
Yeah. I’ll see if that works. Might be worth a shot. Also might try Streamrip.
The error you were getting was about memory, not storage. I haven’t used steamrip before, so I can’t really give you any useful advice on that front.
