Steam deck players, how did you get your game to run? My game keeps crashing on the steam deck, no matter what I do. The farthest I’ve gotten was about 5 minutes into the game, then either the game crashes or the console just shuts down. It keeps throwing DirectX error on crash. I’ve reinstalled, verified game files, even factory reset the console.

    I have put 46 hours into BG3 exclusively on my Steam Deck. It is installed on the SD card, and I have the game limited to 24fps per a guide that was posted somewhere. I have various decky mods and adjustments from setting up ToTK on yuzu, which included using powertools and making adjustments to BIOS (swap file size increase maybe?)

    I am nearing the end of act 1 and the only issues I’ve had are audio related after waking the deck up from sleep. I typically leave the game running and rarely close it completely.

    My deck is running the main stable build, and I have the game running with the default proton build, not experimental. Playing with the most popular community Kb&M controller setup listed.

    I hope you can figure out how to get it running, because It’s such a good game. Good luck

      I also have it on SD card, but couldn’t even get to the main menu most of the time, the game crashes as soon as the loading screen gets to 100. I have it run with proton 8 compatibility.

        Is that a vulkan / DX11 thing? I had that happening in early access but not lately
