Broccoli Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) *note* Anyone with troubleshooting tips for getting the game working on steam deck feel free to post them here so they can be searchable. This is how I've gotten Clementine to work on the steam deck. The steam deck was my first Linux machine so I was a total noob at it all, still am. I'm going to assume you have the same amount of Linux exp i did when i started. (so none lol) Steam deck tricks you will need Gaming mode: the default way your steam deck starts up. To switch to desktop mode, hold down the power button and a menu will come up and click "Switch to Desktop Mode". Desktop mode: alternate boot that will give you a lot more control of your steam deck but is not meant to play games. It will look similar to windows 10. To head back to gaming mode there is a icon on the top left of the desktop, do not hold the power button down while in desktop mode. on screen keyboard: in gaming mode hold the steam button and press X, in desktop mode just press X. Bluetooth keyboard: my guide assumes you don't have one but if you do, it will make things a lot easier for you. They are very easy to connect. Left and right click: in desktop mode, pressing in on the right track pad will simulate a left mouse click. And the left trigger will simulate a right click(used for copy and paste). First you need to download the install files. You can do so in desktop mode using Firefox. I've shortened the url to the Google doc to make it easier to type. Tinyurl.com/PSUinstall The files will be in a zip file and in your downloads folder by default. The steam deck can't unzip these files. It will try but not work. You will need an app called Peazip. You can easily install Peazip by opening Discover and search for Peazip. Once that's installed you will mouse over the zip file and press left trigger. Select open with Peazip. Extract the files wherever you want. Alternative method(requires some Windows knowledge: download the install files from your computer, unzip them, copy them to a micro SD card or USB drive(you will need a dongle if you use a USB drive). Plug that into your steam deck while in desktop mode. Mount the drive when it asks. Copy the folder with the install files to your steam deck, anywhere you want. While in desktop mode open Stream and go to library, at the bottom left. Add a Non-Steam Game to your Library. Click browse and head to the folder that you saved the install files. Make sure you click on the .exe and click on and add game. Switch to gaming mode Tap on "game" you just added to steam and click the gear and go to properties. Compatibility checked and select Proton 7.0.6 Now run the "game" aka installer. Follow the prompts like any other game you have installed. Once that is complete it will close on its own. Back to desktop mode. Give steam a minute to load and log in, you will notice it's ready when you can move the mouse with your track pad. Open steam library and head to the "game" aka installer. Click the gear and go to properties. Three things need to be done. Rename the "game" to ClemPSU Next change the path press the browse button to open a file menu. You need to turn on "show hidden files" it's done by clicking the options icon near the top right of the file menu. Follow this path. "/home/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/comatdata/*unique 10 digit number*/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Phantasy Star Universe Clementine/PSUC.exe" you will click on the PSCU.exe and click open. You will now need to encase that entire path in quotes, the same way I have it above. Last you will change the start in path. I've found it easiest to copy the path you just made and remove the /PSUC.exe at the end. To do this, first erase everything in the "start in", next tap and hold on the very start of the path you just made. Slowly pull the track pad down to highlight everything. Let go and then hover your mouse over and press the left trigger. Click on copy. Left trigger over the empty "start in" text box and click paste. Now just tap and use the thumb stick to scroll to the end of the text. Remove the last bit shown below /PSU.exe leave the quotes. Your start in path should look like this "/home/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/comatdata/*unique 10 digit number*/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Phantasy Star Universe Clementine" *Note* if you have a Bluetooth keyboard you can just ctrl a (select all) ctrl c (copy) and Ctrl p (paste) and then edit the last bit. Now switch to Gaming Mode Run ClemPSU, you will need to bind "enter" to a button on your steam deck to login. Once patched the game will close but you will be stuck saying the game is patched. Back to desktop mode Open dolphin, the file explorer. Journey down the path you made, I will paste it again here. "/home/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/comatdata/*unique 10 digit number*/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Phantasy Star Universe Clementine" You may need to show hidden files again in the options. Once you are in the Phantasy Star Universe Clementine folder mouse over PSUC.exe and click "move to trash" next mouse over PSCU.exe.pat and left trigger and click "rename". The file must be renamed to PSUC.exe Close that up and switch to gaming mode Run the game You should be able to get into the world but we still need to fix the controls and settings. Back to desktop mode now you will need to edit the ini file to change your settings because I couldn't get the launcher to work easily. Follow this path in dolphin file explorer. /home/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/comatdata/*unique 10 digit number*/pfx/drive_c/ users > steamuser > AppData > Local > SEGA > PHANTASY STAR UNIVERSE I know its alot but you only do it once. match your settings with mine below. One downside is that you will lose one keybind. I sacrificed first person zoom but you can still add it later by binding Q to a button on your deck. you will see. make sure to save when you are done.

Feel free to DM me on discord(my handle is broccoli.sunshine), tag me on Clem discord if I don't notice you or post here if you have any issues, questions or things that can improve this process.

I wonder if the forum will let me post this now... I would recommend installing Lutris. You can find it by using Discovery. Attempt to install PSU using Lutris and search for "Phantasy Star Universe" through their configuration repositories. Someone set it up properly and shared the script so its very easy to follow the on screen prompts. Both Options and Launcher will work. There a few very minor issues going this route: - Title and login music will be erratic until you reach character select. - Very rarely, some SFX will not play (ie Voloyal roulette and announcer.) - Steam Overlay can get pissy with PSU. This can be a problem if you need to access the onscreen keyboard. You can usually resolve this by pressing the Steam button if the left overlay button (lack of a better term) doesn't show and your controls bug out. In a rare more extreme case, you may get stuck because the Steam UI won't pop up at all and won't hand full control back to PSU. This can be fixed by putting the deck into sleep mode and waking it up (quickly to prevent a disconnect.) The UI will appear a little scrambled; tap an interactive portion and the UI will come back. The latter has only happened to me once but the keyboard can be an annoyance when I'm looking at shops. - Triggers won't work, and xInput Plus doesn't appear to work with Wine DLL overrides. To "fix" this, I remapped first person mode in options so right and left stick click can be remapped to triggers in Steam. Then put Q (default keyboard config) on the right stick instead. In practice I use the click on right touchpad instead - there seems to be some overlap between the two and it doesn't work consistently from the stick. Works perfectly with touchpad click. - Finally, Steam sometimes fails to close PSU and you'll have to reboot if you wanna play another game. This is more of an issue with Steam and non-steam games instead of PSU in my experience. You can turn TDP to 10W and GPU fixed to 900 for longer battery life without losing performance. You can actually get away with 5W and 600MHz if you don't mind occasional dips to ~55fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broccoli Posted July 10 Author Share Posted July 10 "Patch file saved" loop the problem: every t me you load the game it says patch file saved and closes. solution method 1: delete PSUC.exe and rename the PSUC.exe.pat to PSUC.exe method 2: copy working file from PC to steam deck and delete the .pat file credit Aqua for this method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOTGUN Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Patch loop may be caused not only by exe patch, but also by .pat files from DATA folder. When you face this issue, after downloading patch and closing the game, check DATA folder and rename all .pat files removing ".pat" from their names.

Kornikale Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Is there anything I can do about the aspect ratio? The game works with an aspect ratio of 16:9, I would like 16:10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
