Hey there, my Steam Deck just arrived (after ordering on Friday morning!) and I’ve been messing around with it but running into some issues and wondering if anyone else has:
-
I got Decky Loader installed, but when I tell it to install plugins it doesn’t seem to do anything.
-
I tried using Non Steam Launchers to install EA & Amazon games, and it seems to work (it gives me the success message) but then there is nothing in Steam. I even tried installing the EA App separately using guides online and I even got it installed but then when I try to run the launcher it just says the services were disconnected and refused to do anything. Super frustrating, especially since I just want to play Fallen Order which I only have through my EA account.
-
And finally, has anyone had any success getting their PC Xbox library on the Steam Deck? I got the ‘cloud gaming’ thing working only to find out that’s not what I want to play a game in my library.
On the other hand, Heroic Launcher worked great for getting my GOG and Epic games on there! Having a blast with it already. Thanks in advance!
I’ve found that with Decky, if I haven’t full power cycled the system in a while, it gets a little buggy. I think a restart might help.
For any third party apps other than Steam and GOG, Lutris works best.
PC Gamepass and Microsoft store games still can’t work because they are .uwp or Universal Windows Programs. Cloud streaming is your best bet for now.
Hope this helped
Thanks, I’ve seen Lutris mentioned a few times so I’ll have to give it a try. Unfortunately, I can’t do the cloud steaming since I don’t have a game pass, I simply bought FH4 on a sale one time.
