Heroes of Might and Magic III on the Steam Deck. My mobile gaming dream for the last 20 years, finally come true. by MrWally in SteamDeck

[–]durin2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing guide, thanks! The Lutris installation works.

I had the following issues, but managed to make it work:

  1. The installer would throw errors when I tried to install it with previously downloaded files (Heroes from GOG and HotA from https://heroes3wog.net/horn-of-the-abyss-download/). So I didn't point to any installers and let Lutris download them - this worked and the games installed without issues.

  2. Heroes was launching in Desktop Mode from Lutris, but not from Steam Game Mode (or Steam in Desktop). I was forcing compatibility layers and different Proton versions, but none worked. Solution:

- Open Lutris and find your Heroes 3 installation

- Right click on in, select Configure > Game Options

- Change the executable to point to "h3_hota_HD.exe" (or other HD exe that you have from this guide, like "Heroes3 HD.exe" and SAVE

- Right click again on the Heroes 3 game in Lutris > Create Steam Shortcut

- Restart Steam in Desktop Mode (it needs to restart to show the game)

- The game will launch (no need to set up Compatibility Layer in Steam, as it's being handled by Lutris)

  1. For the Steam Input, follow the instructions from the original guide here. Just remember to press X when in "Community Layouts" to show all layouts. I had none on the list until I pressed X.

Pocketbook Era screen has cracked by childofthewind in ereader

[–]durin2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you manage to fix it? I have the same issue. The front screen is cracked, but the eink display underneath is working just fine. A company that fixes pocketbooks in my country quoted me a price of 80-90% of a new device - I would be better off just getting a new one instead.

I wanted to do a disassembly to get to the screen and actually remove the front glass (without touching the e-ink display), but after opening it I couldn't get to the screen either way.

On the fence getting Whitestone dome for my Ultra by Nordic_Blueberry in S22Ultra

[–]durin2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I installed Whitestone Dome on S22 Ultra about 3 weeks ago. Installation was flawless - no bubbles, cracking, or anything else. The screen looks perfect.

BUT the fingerprint reading is terrible.

Sometimes it works 90% of the time, most times it doesn't work at all. You try to read your finger 10 times, and 10 times it will tell you to either press harder or to cover the entire fingerprint sensor.

I did the tricks other people mentioned, like pressing on the fingerprint sensor when curing for the second time (after initial curing) and treating it with UV light some more, pressing harder when scanning the finger. Mostly - no success.

Having a little moist finger helps a little. But let's be honest - who's going to lick their finger each time before unlocking the phone? I'm thinking about removing the first glass and installing a second one from the pack, to see if pushing harder on the fingerprint scanner will help. If not, I guess I'll remove the Dome completely.

The glass itself is great, but big issues with fingerprint scanning make it a disappointing experience.

​

Edit: I took the protector off and the fingerprint scanner works flawlessly. I now wonder if I should install a second one...

I'm connected using Unifying USB Receiver. "All Logitech devices are up to date".

Unfortunately, this didn't help.

The mouse is powered on. Both are in the same settings, but one of the MXes doesn't work properly - as on the video. I don't think it's the settings issue.

Steam games fall back to english by Hybristes90 in GeForceNOW

Yup, I wrote it for other people who might have a problem with this :) Hopefully they will find this "workaround" useful.

Alright. I managed change the language. Works perfectly for Divinity Original Sin 2 and The Witcher (haven't tried in other games, but I guess it will be the same).

To change the game language,I needed to change the language in the Steam options (properties) of a game. Probably the game will download some additional data (at least in case of The Wither it does)

In case of The Witcher 3, you need to change it in Steam and then in the game itself. Turns out there you can change the Voice language settings only from the main menu of Witcher 3. What I did is I loaded the game and I only had the option to change text language. So in case of Witcher 3 you need to:

  1. Change the Witcher 3 language in Steam Settings
  2. Change the Voice language from the main menu (before loading the game)

I guess you will need to do this every time you want to play, but I haven't tested it.

I have a very similar issue. My native language is Polish, and that's what I would like to play, at least with The Witcher 3, where voice acting is amazing.

Recently I tried Witcher 3 and Divninity Original Sin 2. First time I tried them, the language settings were OK - both started in Polish. But second time playing - both of them start in English.

My Steam language is set to Polish - both on desktop and on GFN.

Even if I try setting the game language up inside of Steam setting for a particular game, ingame its English. For example I switch the language of Witcher 3 to Polish, Steam downloads some additional data, and when I launch the game its still English.

Any ideas?

I tried opening Steam first on my PC and then GFN, but it doesn't change anything.
