Might and Magic 6, 7, and 8 on Steam Deck
Ive been trying to get this to work properly for a few weeks now and to no avail; I'm not going to include a report file simply because it's not whether or not they run and 3 entire logs seems like itd be overkill.
The issue is that these games run but don't do ANYTHING with certain inputs. this seems to be a known issue with this launcher, but what most people don't detail is that if you hit escape and go into the controls menu of these games the inputs read just fine. Both keyboard and controller (controller being through the steam control mapper, obviously).
Oddly, it technically works if you decide to run it in the oldest version of the LOL wine package that's up for download (put up on 4/11/23). However, as that package menu details those variations of Wine can cause major issues. (which i unfortunately saw some side effects while testing).
enough preamble though:
ive been using the latest 4 builds of wine, proton, and tried using the the wine build uploaded a day prior to the LOL build (4/10/23) to see if maybe that would give me the results im looking for but instead it was just a hard crash on the steam deck.
I have the latest updates installed to the steamOS, the heroic launcher, and I haven't done any homebrew to the steam deck (unless you count installing emudeck for the parser tool).
I honestly only want to detail this as thoroughly as I have just so the information is out there, a solution would be great but i honestly assume it's gonna be a lot more trial and error since this issue has been around for roughly 3 years or maybe longer.
