Try using the Steam Runtime? (It's an option in Heroic's game settings)

CommandMC•2y ago

Other than that, the Windows version of the game should probably work

passive-yellow•2y ago

Another option is to install ScummVM system-wide and use that directly rather than going through Heroic.

cheers, just tried that but still not woking. uninstalled and tried windows version but that did not work. then tried steam runtime on windows version and that did not work either. now getting: Game Log: pressure-vessel-wrap[1178]: W: /dev/shm not shared between app instances (flatpak#4214).

Use Wine-GE, not Proton. Do not use the Steam runtime on a Deck

extended-salmon•2y ago

it may be worth to also try the Linux native version of scummvm flatpak install org.scummvm.ScummVM simple script would be

#!/bin/bash

cd "/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Beneath a Steel Sky/scummvm"
flatpak run org.scummvm.ScummVM -c "../beneath.ini" "beneath"

#!/bin/bash

cd "/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Beneath a Steel Sky/scummvm"
flatpak run org.scummvm.ScummVM -c "../beneath.ini" "beneath"

generally having native version is prefered

stormy-goldOP•2y ago

thanks. I gave it a go (I only got the deck a couple of days ago so this is all new to me). I had just left it on default before (did not have any WINES in the manager downloaded). I tried the Wine-GE-Latest and Wine-GL-Proton8-17 (top 2) and neither of those worked. Latest log attached (its getting to big to paste in a discord msg now ;o0 )

show your Konsole input and output

stormy-goldOP•2y ago

ok thanks some progress.. installed via discover.. then ran that command from '/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Beneath a Steel Sky/scummvm/' folder and got: (1)(deck@steamdeck scummvm)$ flatpak run org.scummvm.ScummVM -c "../beneath.ini" "beneath" WARNING: File::open: node does not exist!

extended-salmon•2y ago

you may need to give ScummVM permission to access to '/home/deck/Games/Heroic you can use other tool - Flatseal to do that

rising-crimson•2y ago

yeah scummvm does not have any real folder permissions oddly enough it defaults to xdg-pictures and xdg-documents only

stormy-goldOP•2y ago

i've installed flatseal from discover

extended-salmon•2y ago

add the Other files permission like so

stormy-goldOP•2y ago

more progress thanks!!.. now I get this!

stormy-goldOP•2y ago

i also did that flatpack which now gave this msg: (130)(deck@steamdeck scummvm)$ flatpak run org.scummvm.ScummVM -c "../beneath.ini" "beneath" Using configuration file: ../beneath.ini Using game controller: Steam Virtual Gamepad WARNING: File '/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Beneath a Steel Sky/scummvm/translations.dat' has a mismatching version, expected was 4 but you got 3.

extended-salmon•2y ago

you may achieve better results with Linux native files

stormy-goldOP•2y ago

instead of in heroic?

extended-salmon•2y ago

there are two builds of this game Linux and Windows one try Linux one and use flatpak to run that ini file

extended-salmon•2y ago

works for me done that

stormy-goldOP•2y ago

yeah I went back to linux before the flaptack step (uninstalled and reinstalled as linux) after your suggestion @
Today at 14:59 I might uninstall and start it all again

extended-salmon•2y ago

then try running it from root of the directory

stormy-goldOP•2y ago

thanks for your help!

extended-salmon•2y ago

like so

#!/bin/bash

cd "/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Beneath a Steel Sky"
flatpak run org.scummvm.ScummVM -c "./beneath.ini" "beneath"

#!/bin/bash

cd "/home/deck/Games/Heroic/Beneath a Steel Sky"
flatpak run org.scummvm.ScummVM -c "./beneath.ini" "beneath"

stormy-goldOP•2y ago

AWESOME ITS WORKING!!!! thanks all. I had to add :create to that ~/Games/Heroic - ~/Games/Heroic:create

stormy-goldOP•2y ago

i noticed it in the heroic games launcher

rising-crimson•2y ago

I didn't need to add :create

stormy-goldOP•2y ago

weird once i did that the flatpack command stuck me straight into the game

rising-crimson•2y ago

(Beneath a Steel Sky) >>> flatpak run org.scummvm.ScummVM -c "beneath.ini" "beneath" you have to restart the app when you change the flatpak permissions if you left it open, then it wouldn't have updated

correct-apricot•2y ago

Is there is easier way for Steam Deck? Because it is basically same problem with all Linux games that are using dosbox or scummvm. Very much manual work with Beneath a Steel Sky and Blade Runner. Duke Nukem 3D did not start after installing.

foreign-sapphire•2y ago

This game works fine on MacBooks through heroic.
