Quoting: Corben Quoting: scaineI've never once, ever, in over 1100 games, experienced a launcher which improved a game experience. It's just another reminder of the problem with launchers and publishers just stuffing them into games with no real benefit to users. There's been a lot of unhappy gamers on Windows too, so 2K have a bit of a storm brewing with all three titles getting negative reviews on Steam. If you add these as a launch option (under Properties for each game) it should work for all titles across desktop Linux and Steam Deck to skip the launcher and I've tested them personally working: Thankfully, the community has stepped in to provide multiple workarounds for these games if the launcher has broken them for you. The problem here is that both had been through Deck Verified with the first being "Playable" and the second being "Verified". Infinite was noted to be Unsupported on Steam Deck anyway, but forcing Proton 7 makes it work in my testing.Īs for BioShock Remastered 1 & 2, neither of them had a Native Linux version so players on desktop Linux and Steam Deck were using Proton. You can see my video guide on how to switch between Proton versions or a Native Linux build if it exists. All good, until I tried running them again on desktop and sometimes the launcher just doesn't show up so they don't run. Confusing though, as testing all three across desktop Linux and Steam Deck and all three worked out of the box for me with Proton 7.0-4 and no other changes and I wasn't even shown a launcher on Steam Deck. Looking over various reports, many people are mentioning that the launcher update has broken all three for them on Steam Deck. Not great for those of you sticking to Native versions and paid for that. The addition of a new Launcher which includes a Store to purchase new contentįor BioShock Infinite I can confirm the update breaks launching the older Native Linux port from Virtual Programming.This week's update features various quality-of-life improvements, including: Instead, the patch notes for all three simply state: Expecting some sort of bug-fix and polishing that the name implies, it was nothing of the sort. Just recently BioShock Remastered 1 & 2, plus BioShock Infinite all had this "Quality of Life Update". Apparently now a Quality of Life Update means adding a launcher to existing games and breaking them, if you're 2K that is.
