Baldurs Gate 1 from GOG does not run on Steamdeck

Using Heroic game launcher. If i understand correctly, this is a Linux version of the game and should run natively with no problems. But complains that it does not have libssl available to it. I believe this is something that I have to install? I have tried searching for this on Discover but it does not find it.

native games using flatpak are not great because they are isolated from the system and native games can expect any system library (and we can't tell flatpak to just install everything) you could try using the non-flatpak version of heroic (maybe an appimage) just to check if removing flatpak from the middle solves the problem you can also try just launching the executable start.sh from the file explorer, to remove heroic from the middle completely but for me, as a rule of thumb: with flatpak always use the windows versions (and in general, gog supports less features for native linux versions anyway, you are better using the windows version anyway)

robust-apricotOP•6mo ago

starting start.sh from file browser does nothing

foreign-sapphire•6mo ago

Did you try forcing Steam Linux Runtime on that said title? Game settings in Heroic should have that option with native game.

robust-apricotOP•6mo ago

yes, I tried that, same result currently trying windows version

foreign-sapphire•6mo ago

Windows version would work, no doubt

robust-apricotOP•6mo ago

it does but I find it bizarre that the native linux version that should work right off the bat, doesn't

robust-apricotOP•6mo ago

this is what you were talking about?

fascinating-indigo•6mo ago

native linux versions of games often are broken if they dont ship their dependency libs with the game, and rely on system libs, generally this will break since the game devs dont continue to support their game much beyond release

foreign-sapphire•6mo ago

Due to dependency problems, despite they are actually not broken from binary perspective, dependencies fails

fascinating-indigo•6mo ago

yeah if you were to satisfy the dependencies it likely works

foreign-sapphire•6mo ago

Which is projects like Steam Linux Runtime tries to solve, how successfully, it "depends" at best.

fascinating-indigo•6mo ago

nod, the best is for the devs to ensure dependencies are shipped with their game so they dont rely on system

robust-apricotOP•6mo ago

can I install this dependency bypassing flatpak on a deck?

fascinating-indigo•6mo ago

i mean generally you wouldnt want to but on the deck generally no since modifying the system just gets reset after an update also you'd need to know what the dependencies are (which is possible but you'd have to know how)

robust-apricotOP•6mo ago

is libssl not descriptive enough?

fascinating-indigo•6mo ago

but if yo uknew them you could theoretically build them and put them in the game executable's path you'd need ot know the version

robust-apricotOP•6mo ago

libssl.so.1.0.0

fascinating-indigo•6mo ago

cuz libssl likely is on the steam deck, but its probably too new its much easier to just use wine 😛

robust-apricotOP•6mo ago

I think I found a way to make the game run the native version with a single option: enable "use steam runtime"

foreign-sapphire•6mo ago

Seriously? No way

robust-apricotOP•6mo ago

I thought you meant prefer system libraries

foreign-sapphire•6mo ago

There isn't such an option

robust-apricotOP•6mo ago

there is on a fresh instal. That's how I got the image I posted above. Once I enable steam runtime and manage to get the game to run, the option disappears for some reason. I'm testing this right now regardless, the game works now, thanks

foreign-sapphire•6mo ago

robust-apricotOP•6mo ago

yes, on a fresh install, this is how the settings look

robust-apricotOP•6mo ago

the moment I enable "use steam runtime" and close the settings, the "prefer system libraries" disappears

fascinating-indigo•6mo ago

On flatpa probably an option
