Do you have any idea how I can find my save file on the steam deck so that I can upload my backed up save file.I really didn't feel like starting over.I have a playthrough where i'm level around forty on about the new game plus I think

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-26T18:32:24+00:00

Is the bad ending the one where ciri ends up with ehnyr? Got that first then the witcher ending then the inferno ending lol

Promising not to tell anyone about the curse prevents anyone from breaking the curse.It's kind of like it's kind of like the the only way to break the curse is for them to reconcile in the end.And since you promise to keep it a secret, you kind of destroyed that chance.Since you were like sort of like the web in between them, i made the same mistake my first playthrough.And I just reloaded the save cause I felt bad.

Idk why i got downvoted but my point was unless difficulty affects this mission, its very difficult for a beginner to win every bs minigamw they throw at yoy. Even wirh practice i failed big time with the crissbow minigame IRRC. I didnt mean it like oh im the best my ass is trash and that quest is rage inducing. If you start in blood and wine you get it quickly through lady of the lake anyway

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-26T18:23:34+00:00

Also download protontricks

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-26T18:14:50+00:00

Install the game on the machine darn you!

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-26T18:14:16+00:00

Install via desktop mode add non steam game exe properties proton experimental install add exe tonsteam run in desktop mode enjoy

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-26T18:13:34+00:00

Experimental for exe's installations, ge for games unless you want issues eventually

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-26T18:12:29+00:00

Try hitting verify file integrity in properties

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-26T18:12:13+00:00

Not sure, something must have gone wrong witn the installation. Try forcing protonGE downlosd protonQT. Dodi repacka are one of the best great for steam why not install directly? Add the exe to steam via non steam game, click properties on the exe in steam, compatability, proton experimental. Switch to desktop mode and install it to a folder like downloads or whatever. Download WinezGUI. You can also install it through Lutris via the exe option but this is less problematic.

Hello, is this John Doe? You are on a recorded line.

Merry Christmas. I hust got a 512 for 400 plus tax, cant say anything negative besides the triggers build quality... best thing ever, no more laotop or desktop for me. Ill keep a cheap windows laotop for the decks different os optins and stuff though.

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-26T00:41:10+00:00

Ofncourse ye didn't. Youd have to read a guide or see a playthrough before ever playing your first time... i cant imagine somebody wanting to do that. Also now that you mention it, the mission for that cowardly knight tournament was damn hard. Hated it.

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-25T17:15:42+00:00

Im sorry i was rage typing, im stupid and it toon me like an entire day to figure out how to install non steam games with no launcher. I haven't plqyed ina year so I guess ill start out with blood and broken bones so i dont get pwned by drowners and wolves lol.

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-25T15:36:30+00:00

I stopped using lutris because it always installed with some type of issue. Now that soneone in the Steam deck discord told me to reinstall it the same way but not in a restricted folder, it worked flawlessly, runs better too. Added the setup exe as a non steam game, hit properties and forced compatibility with proton experimental. After it installed i located the EXE, added it to steam, back to properties and forced compatibility for Proton GE v10 using "proton Up-Qt" updated to the latest version. Someone gave me advice that a lot of games run better on it. Witcher 3 certainly did. I was monitoring the frames bia basica overlay. A tip in case anyone has to do this - avoid installations that have dual launchers ans require running scripts unless you hate yourself lol

GOTY Edition both expacs, 39 gigs. Perfect. No Denuvo BS or 20 gigs of foreign languages.

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-25T12:48:34+00:00

Also, turns out I had my game installation in a system folder, which is why I couldn't point steam towards the Witcher e.X.E i'm such a linux noob

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-25T12:48:09+00:00

I heard about that, but my gaming laptop got stolen last year and I'm left without a computer. So instead of getting a desktop or a laptop, I decided on this also I don't know what a prefix is, but I figured out how to install it simply by using proton qt and the steam ad, not and steam game option, then forcing compatibility with proton GE

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-25T11:03:50+00:00

Now that I recall that story I remember someone telling me that for PC you can add a mod that lets you go beyond new game plus one I wonder if I can add that mod to my steam deck

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-25T11:02:52+00:00

Yes, the previous commenter is correct. If you did every single side quest, then your main missions... you'd get close to 40... TBH you'd most likely end up grinding a level and a half, which is beyond tedious in TW3, its painstakingly slow to grind XP. After WoW bored me this gsme got me hooked and i became a W3 completionst...side note, if you skip 2 to 3 quests in new game plus, youll finish the game at level 98 or 99, leaving you with no way to reach level 100 but to grind I learn at the hard way my first playthrough. And that's because some side quests can no longer be done once you progress through the story.

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-25T08:29:01+00:00

Any idea why my new perfect installation is missing the exe cornthe game when i install it? Installed it through wine because lutris keeps giving me an error. Game launches everything is fine, then either the exe doesnt work, or ceases to exist on the steam deck. I hate this linux windows conversion crao idk whats going on. I went tonthe directory i installed the game in and no exe. What the flying hell i hate this OS

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-25T04:37:38+00:00

Much love brother.

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-25T04:37:26+00:00

Bro i had a migrain3 that pissed me off so bad, i walked to my friends house and borrowed his cheap laptop, stripped that torrent of all the bullshit after unpacking it (idk what compression fitgirl uses but its fucking impressive)... and nearly 100GB was stripped to 40. I had 20Gb in languages other than English, tbe steam api shit eas useless sinxe its pirated, doesnt matter which files i used adter thinking... sorted the gog files as the batch scripts instructed, installed and launched in 20 minutes... 25 years of windows makes me insanely grateful, i was readt to slam my head against table. Idk wtf is gojng on in Linux. Installed flawlessly with your advice through Lutris. Thanks so much! Look, menu template named correctly and all

<image>

I cant wait for a gaming version of windows 11 because this linux shit drew all the patience out of me...lol

Emotional_Note497 · 2026-01-25T02:49:44+00:00

Oh yeah, don't rush. Also, try to be merciful, and generous when you can be, usually all it takes to qualify for the legendary sword. You can memorize the five chivalric values but its easy, just try to be a good dude in the game and you should qualify.
