    I take instructional videos very literally so I don't miss a step. At 3:57 you said to sort by "latest first" couldn't find it for ages until I realized its "newest first." Felt like an idiot lol.

    After installation, you can uninstall the installer and add the already installed Epic Game Store instead (follow the path shown in the video). This will allow you not to type pathes and launch the Epic Game Store using only Steam Deck

    Never hard code a version number. One of the few reason video tutorials are broken, but not even a written tutorial should say "install this specific version" unless it's an actual fix to a very specific problem. Just use normal proton built-in for everything. You only ever need to change any setting if something doesn't work, or to set the default proton version for other games not marked as supported, to do that, just select the latest release that doesn't have experimental or " RC" (release candidate) in the name. Those are betas/snapshots. You don't need to download GloriousEggroll's fork unless you want to play a specific game that has been patched in the GE fork but not yet made it's way into Proton official. This would only be for quite new games. Maybe it gives a smidge of performance improvement, but you will likely not notice and not worth your time.

      It does that sometime, especially with the on screen keyboard. Usually if you just close it down and try again it works. I'm pretty sure there is a paste button on the on screen keyboard too

      @thegamesapprentice  8 місяців тому

      Yea a few people have said that. All I can think is that it's defaulting somewhere else for some reason. If you have a look at the path during the installation step it should give you an idea of where it's putting it. It won't be exact as the folder structure is a bit different, but you should be able to find it from what it says combined with where I said it was

    • @thegamesapprentice
      @thegamesapprentice  Рік тому +1

      Yea I had similar issues the first time. Copying and pasting into those fields with the Steam Deck can be a bit hit and miss. Use a mouse if you can.
      If not, try doing in both desktop mode and big screen mode, which ever you didn't do last time. Bear in mind there is a paste button on the virtual keyboard to the right of space bar, I found that to be more reliable
      If it's still playing up, go into desktop mode, and open up a notepad, and try copying and pasting it into there, then editing it in the notepad and pasting it back across.
      Lastly, and not ideal, but the way I had to do it first time, as I had none of these tips, is to just type the entire text manually.
      Good luck
