How to play on Steam Deck?

[p123mika]

Is it possible to run it on steam deck? I've tried but the closest I can get is a black screen with sound, outside of that I haven't been able to do anything else.

I can make video guide if you want, I was wondering if anyone else in the world was trying to get this running on steam deck lol.

I got both POTC and Build 14 working on the steam deck. It's kind of awesome to play with controller support from steam.

I personally haven't tried Beyond New Horizons, but the process should be the same.

The basic idea is this:

Download Lutris:

Download Lutris

Play all your games on Linux. Lutris is an Open Source gaming platform for Linux. It installs and launches games so you can start playing without the hassle of setting up your game. Get your games from GOG, Steam, Battle.net, Origin, Uplay and many other sources running on any Linux powered...

lutris.net

Get your ISO files for the game, mount them.
Use Lutris to Create a Windows container, I would go with Windows XP since that's what the game originally ran on.
Set the executable file to be the install.exe in the ISO
Run it, and you should see the normal install screen pop up. Install as you would normally.

Set the executable now to the path of the engine.exe. (You can also do config.exe to change the settings btw).
Example path: /home/deck/Games/<name of your lutris game>/drive_c/Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Pirates of the Caribbean/engine.exe

The idea of changing the executable works for installing Build 14 as well.

Good luck.
