  • In general I recommend checking protondb.com if you’re having issues with any game on linux. Lookup the game and scroll past the steam deck entries. Often somebody has posted a solution there.

    I your case, switch to Proton experimental and use these launch options:

    eval $( echo “%command%” | sed “s/Launcher/LariLauncher.exe’.*/bin/bg3_dx11.exe’/” )

    It switches the game to launch the dx11 version. Alternatively, rename bg3_dx11.exe to bg3.exe or change the game from vulkan to dx11 in the launcher (if that can be done in the launcher). Vulkan is known to crash for some on Linux.


  • I really wonder if a Switch 2 will do as well as the first Switch.

    More and more handheld gaming PCs are released by the time the Switch 2 comes around. Yes, a Switch 2 does have the advantage of access to Nintendo games (if we ignore Emulators) and I would imagine lower price, but I haven’t touched my Switch since I got the Steamdeck. I even sold an extra Switch Lite I had.

    I rarely, basically never used the Switch plugged into a TV. I only played it in handheld mode with a skin that made it more comfortable to hold than a flat brick. Nintendo games rarely drop in price and sales don’t reduce prices by much VS PC games that often go on sale and older games drop to very low prices on sale.

    I’m certain there’s a market for a Switch 2, I’m just wondering if it will do as well as the first Switch in the current market with more options.
