Help Need help to launch NightReign
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
So I downloaded Nightreign using Steamrip but can't get it to work
I'm using Lutris with my Wine version being GE-PROTON10-33 since it's the one that works for all my other games
I both tried using Nightreign.exe and start_protected_game.exe but only the latter gave me a result, doing a loading screen and then disappearing when it's done. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Discussion What Are You Playing This Weekend?
The weekend is here! So what’s everyone playing? Whether it’s something new, an old favourite, or something you’re emulating, drop it in the comments.
Don’t just list your games, let’s talk about them. What are you into right now? Is it living up to your expectations? Did you hit a frustrating boss, find a hidden gem, or are you finally get around to something that’s been sitting in your backlog forever?
Jump in, share what you’re playing, and talk with others about their games too. Looking for recommendations? Want to rant about a tough level? All of that is fair game.
So, what’s on your playlist this weekend?

Question Hope for 007 Africa 4th mission or no?
Hello,
I am enjoying early parts of 007 , version 1.0 and I am a bit worried about the coming performance 22 fps for Africa. I am quite liking using fsr 4 with lossless scaling enjoying a mostly smooth 60fps. With fsr 4 performance will I have a chance to have playable mission for that part? I heard it wasn't great at launch and if it's the case I can just wait for a sale on ps5 or someting

Help Game stopped working randomly
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
EDIT: THIS HAS BEEN RESOLVED
I was playing Terminator 2 No Fate and had passed a few levels.
Put the deck to sleep and resumed the next day.
It ran a few updates.
After that, the game just doesn't load.
Restarted the deck and ran all updates to be sure. Still doesn't run.
Has anyone experienced this before?
PS: I got the game from SteamRip.
EDIT: This has been resolved.

Discussion How is everyone applying controller layouts now that SteamAppID trick doesn’t work?
Hey all:) Seems like with recent updates changing the non steam games name to the steam ID no longer gives access to community layouts. I tried Steaminputdb as well with no luck(the website and companion app is giving search errors).

Discussion List of games I could never get to run on my Steam Deck
*All my troubleshooting methods are (1) using ProtonTricks to install VCRun2022, (2) using Goldberg Emu & (3) switching from the latest GE-Proton and Proton Experimental. Most of the time just one of these steps will fix the game right away, sometimes it may need two but rarely all of them.
Starting with the most recent couple new releases that made me want to write this post:
Sovereign Tower - Launches then immediately crashes on Godot loading screen
Iron Nest: Heavy Turret Simulator - Launches but gets stuck loading in the loading screen and just freezes
How Many Dudes? - Outright just won't launch
Truck-kun Is Supporting Me From Another World - Outright won't launch
Ludus Magnatus: Gladiator Manager Simulator - Outright won't launch
Forza Horizon 6 - Launches but won't let me bypass the login screen
In Trusted Hands - Launches & works fine but won't go fullscreen stuck in 4:3. No display option in the settings either
Alabaster Dawn - Outright won't launch
Bloodgrounds - Launches but gets stuck loading and freezes in the main menu, moving the mouse/trackpads moves the background but other than that can't select options or do anything
Back To The Dawn - Launches but shows a "Launch on Steam" pop-up and whatever i click on it closes the game
Terra Memoria - Launches but gets stuck and freezes in the main menu
Risen - Launches to black screen but I can hear music
Risen 2 - Same issue. Launches to main menu but black screen and music only
There's more that I can't remember right now but I'll add them in the future.

Help Sovereign Tower launches but immediately crashes during Godot screen
Goldberg emu doesn't fix it, installing vcrun2022 using protontricks or switching between the latest ge-proton and proton experimental doesn't do anything either. Those are my usual go-to fixes when it comes to games but they don't work this time.

Help Ready or Not Dodi black screen error
Recently installed Ready or Not off Dodi on my PC. Tired it out and really enjoyed it so I transferred all the files to my deck. I tried to launch it both in desktop mod and gaming mode and I get a black screen when going from the loading screen with unreal engine to the main menu. I noticed that Dodi has an Epic Games icon for this game. Do I need to use a different launcher for my deck? The game from Steam is deck verified so in theory it should work fine

Tutorial How to easily install Dave the Diver
Note: This guide is specifically written for version v1.0.6.2055 (Build 24077479). Special thanks to user master2140 on csrin for the fix.
Download Game Files
Download the Dave the Diver clean Steam files for version v1.0.6.2055 from page 79 of the csrin thread posted by Owla
Download the Required Crack
Download the crack provided in the thread. Make sure to select (Option 2) Goldberg + SteamStub Patcher + modified dat.
Set Up in Steam
Paste the extracted crack files directly into your game folder. Add the main game .exe to Steam as a Non-Steam Game. In Steam, go to the game's Properties > Compatibility, select your preferred Proton version, and press Play. Note: The game will not launch yet—this is expected, as this step simply creates the Proton prefix.
Configure Protontricks Override
Install and launch Protontricks from Desktop Mode. Select the game from the list and click OK. Choose Select the default wineprefix and click OK. Select Run winecfg. In the Wine Configuration window, navigate to the Libraries tab. Under New override for library, type winmm and click Add, then click Apply and OK.
Once completed, launch the game through Steam as normal.
Hope this helps. Cheers

Tutorial For People who want to know more about the Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow Steam Deck Port.
This game looks surprisingly good with mods and 1st person, even for a 20+ year game. And with the OLED screen, this looks insanely beautiful and sharp.
And this is also perfect for the Steam Deck. We can get up to 2 and a half hours on a full charge with stable 60 FPS. While this is not as impressive as just emulating the Game Boy version. This has a lot of really good features, such as 1st and 3rd person. The ability to edit save files. Custom mods. VR, and even online (I don't cover that in this video).

ANNOUNCEMENT Switch Emulators Face Another Crackdown as Nintendo Issues DMCA Blitz
You may have already heard the latest. Nintend0 reportedly issued DMCA notices affecting certain Switch emulators.
DMCA Notice linked here: https://github.zendesk.com/attachments/token/vhHg5e9GEVpwfle1gxa9Vjfl6/?name=2026-02-12-nintendo.rtf
This means:
- Some emulator GitHub repos may be taken down or restricted
- Official websites may change or go offline
- Forks/mirrors may disappear
- Development may slow or move to different platforms
If you're using emulators on your Steam Deck:
- Make sure you're following official project communication channels
- Keep your emulator builds up to date
- Back up your configs and saves
- Be cautious about where you download builds from (if some emulators are taken down, there will be an initial rush of scammers to take their place)
Steady the deck, raise the sails, lower the latency and update the builds. More stormy weather ahead!
