Yo..youre a real homie. Making a whole new video just because it wasn't working for me and a few other people.
Yes I am 😁
Brilliant guide. I had trouble with it detecting my Deck constrols but the gamepad layout "S. K GoW controller mapping" worked for me.
Oh? For me the steam deck controls just worked but glad you got it going 👍
Hey from france :) Got my steam deck for a few month and your videos are soooo helpfull and literally game changing 🙏 Thank you for that ! Have fun :)
Glad you like them! Thanks for supporting and commenting 😁
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been trying to install this for a long time, tried different methods, different source files, different ways, and was never able to make it work, now it's working! THANK YOU!
I'm glad I helped! Thanks for leaving a comment 😁
Flawless video, thanks man, I was able to install the game without any problems following these instructions 🤟
that's good to hear :)
huge! definitely putting this on my deck now!
HAPPY Gaming 😄
Another great tutorial as always, thanks bro
My pleasure! Thanks for the comment 😁
Amazing. Suscribed.
Thanks for the sub! 😄
Your a legend. Thank u pal
this video is up for 2 minutes, you haven't even watched it all yet! :)
@GrownUpGamingGUG trust me. I know u give great videos. Don't always have to watch to give a comment. I did however watch it all lol
Thanks for watching it all 😂
Thank bro is work for me 🔥🔥
HAPPY Gaming 🎇
This is hilarious 😂😂😂 so the companies wont release the games on pc and they rather loose money by others porting it for free 🤦🏽♂️
the community is great :)
Hilarious what u say cause . Gears of war , gears of war Remastered , gears of war 4 and 5 are on pc
Thank you for the info and method, Bud. With the reveal of new Gears of War E-Day trailer in Xbox Showcase last weekend, the interest in the classics games has grown. If it's possible, can you please make a vid of how to install using PortProton?
Why do you need to use PortProton?
@@GrownUpGamingGUG Because i save a lot of disk space using it, since i can use only one prefix for all my non-steam games, instead of get one prefix per non-steam game.
If you use lutris you can also put everything in one prefix folder if you want.
Now we need gears of war 2 bro ! Haha seriously is it working properly now on steam ? Because i managed to lanch it througt emulator but the campain doesnt work at all...
thx for your hard work bro !
Too bad there's not a pc port for gears 2 or 3. Hopefully emulators improve and make them playable.
Thanks mate! Works like a charm.
Any chance you can do a video showing how to install COD WW2 and Sleeping Dogs?
Thanks for the request, I'll try, no promises 🙏
@@GrownUpGamingGUG Thanks mate. Your channel is my go to whenever I come across a game I'm having trouble with on the SD. Regardless on whether you can fulfill my requests, you're doing a great job mate. Keep up the great content 🙏
1 of my all time favorite games, the 2006 PC port is so much better than the inferior and buggy "Ultimate Edition" they released which is on Game Pass.
Looking forward to trying this out dude ❤
yes playing the pc port is way better than emulating it :)
@@GrownUpGamingGUG Definitely, especially considering the instability of Xenia sometimes 😄
Great vid bro can you do a crysis origin gog tutorial to run it on steam deck or is it impossible?
Thanks for the request. I'll try, no promises 🙏
@@GrownUpGamingGUG yeah for sure looking forward to it g
Apparently....don't quote me but there doing a gears of war remastered 1,2 and 3 soon. Been in the works for awhile now tho
that would be good. it's a great ip.
Does this somehow work with Lost Planet: Colonies Edition aswell? It used gfwl service also and i would LOVE to relive the joy this game gave my younger self!
Haven't tried, you should try it, just make the game run in the same prefix folder with all the dependencies installed already.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG i don't know if i have the time this weekend, but i will try that out! The files, can i just extract them from the dvd or do i have to install the game on a different computer first and transfer them over to the deck? How do i know, which dependencies i need?
I followed all the steps installed everything and when I launch the game I get the warning that my system requirements are too low do you want to continue, I press yes and then black screen with 1 FPS any advice?
the message only prompts when it's the first time running the game. won't have that afterwards. i'm not sure why you have black screen with 1 fps, mine boots fine.
Hello. I'm stuck on Step 8. I right clicked on the gearsofwar2006 folder to open terminal and the folder name is missing. Trying to see what I did wrong
Not sure about that, it was pretty straightforward for me. Maybe retry the whole process and make sure all the steps are done.
Awesome video! Can you maybe show how to install Forza Horizon 4?
I have a video for Forza 5 already. Maybe later I can try other games in the series.
nice
Thanks 😊
I just finished the tutorial and when i press the play button, i see blue wallpaper with gears logo but no hardware requirements button and the game crashes...
Oh so close then. I never had that. Could it be the game files? Maybe try it again from scratch first. Else try getting another game file.
Can you a tutorial video on how 2 install n launch Silent Hill The Room gog ?
Thanks for the request. I'll try, no promises 🙏
Thank you i will try to install this later, did you ever figure out a more simple way to play Riddick Dark Athena on the deck? I will pay for that game if it were possible and the process seems a bit much… great work nonetheless. Where can i even download dark athena ? Anyone? Thank you.
Are you taking about this ua-cam.com/video/_DX15T3X8tA/v-deo.htmlsi=LVkTXNA1opIKmBsj I haven't tried it again but I think the process is easier now since the Mesa drivers has been updated many times since the video so it might just support this game without needing to manually install those drivers.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG yes! Can you send me a download link for the game ? Would that be possible? I cannot find a link to rip or purchase it. Thank you
@@INFRAREDiZNYC sorry I can't share links.
Man i followed it to a T! But only thing is every time I click “play” before and after I follow all steps in steam it brings up a GoW window to install. Doesnt actually play or do anything even after i let it install. Big sad face. Idk why.
You sure the game folders are good?
Game folder wasn’t good. Found another and each step was the same until the end this time. Error is C++ runtime library. Wargame-g4wlive.exe abnormal programs termination. Press ok to run wine debugger. Nothing happens 😢
Trying another!
Officially given up 😭
You can always emulate this game with Xenia.
Mine gets stuck on a black screen while booting
Could it be the game files are bad?
@@GrownUpGamingGUG probably,I'm gonna try to install again
Can you do this with Gears of war 2 and 3?
There's no pc port of those games though.
Getting failed connection on the script. Keeps retrying. Any fix? Please.
That managed to connect after a while. All done. When I launch game I get black screen. Nothing loads not even box to say hardware not compatible
Did you put the gfwl.exe in the dl directory? If the file is not there then it will try to download but the server is down so it keeps trying.
Anyone found a way to fix some of the stutters it gets?
I'd like to know too 😉
@@GrownUpGamingGUG Found a solution to fix the stuttering.
Launch options: DXVK_ASYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%
Please Resident evil 5 gold edition quack not running on my sd
thanks for the request, i'll try, no promises :)
I...don't understand. I followed your steps to a T. And it worked...the first time I launched it. Any time after that it just hangs after the splash screen.
Did you change the settings, if you turn on the directx setting at the bottom it will make the game unbootable.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG OOOOOOOF. is there a way to reset the settings without reinstalling?
I think so but I don't want to go through the files. Just do it again 😂
@@GrownUpGamingGUG fair enough. You already remade the whole tutorial 🤣
It's working again. Just wish it was a bit more optimized, but that's early 2000 pc gaming for ya
Enjoy the game 😁
Hello, the game runs fine, I just can't save it? lol maybe something went wrong in the installation.
I've not had that issue. is you game installed on SSD or SD?
@@GrownUpGamingGUG it’s installedon a HDD I have connected via the dock. Maybe I should install/copy it to the SD?
Nah I was thinking maybe it's on SD and it couldn't write the save data.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG So I tried installing it onto the deck itself and followed your instructions, when I try and launch it in desktop mode, it just brings up a black screen?
@@HOEL so you got it to work before but now it doesn't work?
Where do I download the game from please?
i have the disc. not sure where else you can buy it.
Great tutorial! However when I launch gears of war in desktop mode, I’m receiving this error
Runtime error
Program: D: Gears of War Binaries wargame-g4wlive.exe
Abnormal program termination
Press OK to exit the program or cancel to start wine debugger.
What did I do wrong! 😂
The error flashes up and then closes faster than I can press any of the buttons. Anyone have the solution?? Thanks in advance!
What's d drive? Is it SD card?
@@GrownUpGamingGUG no D drive is my internal memory drive, I have other games saved there, it’s where I chose the gears directory to be
Edit: just checked, yeah it is internal memory, I might have to redo the process, not sure why it’s on my internal memory 😂
Deleted everything, then followed your video again and even put all the files in the same position as the ones in your video but ended up with the same error (apart from the drive was z this time). Not sure why it won’t work for me
Maybe the games files source is bad?
@@GrownUpGamingGUG yeah you might be right, I’ve given up with it now, but thanks for the video anyway, was really helpful regardless 👏🏻
Que tal
Tendrás trucos y tips para Lenovo legión go
For this game? Should be a lot easier to install this game on windows.
Configuración y rendimiento acabó de comprar una legión
Just play around with it. Update the bios, set the vram to auto. I wouldn't recommend using AMD drivers yet, just update the drivers from Lenovo first and play some games.
Tuviste problemas con el wifi ,me marca que no encuentra el controlador
No I didn't have issues with the WiFi.
Please Virtua Tennis 4 pc
thanks for the request. i like this game too, i have a video using rpcs3 ua-cam.com/video/soSw2BELkro/v-deo.html
Is there online vs on it
I don't think so
How do you get the game on steam deck?
I have the pc version, installed it on pc and transferred the game folder to steam deck.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG how can I get the pc version people say it's not on the MS store anymore Is there a way to get it back
Try getting the DVD 📀
@@GrownUpGamingGUGok I'm gonna see if it's at my local game store
WHERE DID YOU GET THE GAME FROM YOU DONT EVEN EXPLAIN HOW YOU GET IT ON THE VIDEO I’M LITERALLY STUCK WHEN YOU SEARCH HOME GAMES GEARS OF WAR ON STEP 4 ADD YOUR GAME AS NON STEAM I don’t have the game sorry for my behavior it’s just that I really want to download the game and I just can’t find a way no matter all the guides I’ve seen I can’t 😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😤
I can't provide you game links bro
Ok then how am I supposed to add the game to steam?
The prerequisite is you need to have the game and it's on your steam deck. If you don't have those then this video won't magically put the game on your steam deck.
Hello; thanks for the write up and video. I have an original copy of the game which I have installed and extracted the Gears of War folder from, but when I run the startup.exe file the first time, I see you get the Gears of War Startup.exe Splash screen (at 4:46), i'm not getting the Gears of War Splash screen; it says something about not having the DVD. I don't really have any more options, so I go to the next steps and run the script, which then fails after a little bit with this error:
fixing the game launcher...
'./dl/default.htm' -> '/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2419364105/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft Games/Gears of War/CurrentSite/default.htm'
cp: cannot create regular file '/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2419364105/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft Games/Gears of War/CurrentSite/default.htm': No such file or directory
Then if I try to set up that file structure myself and add a blank default.htm, it gets to the end, where it tries to install Games for Windows Live, and I got through the rest of the steps, which seem ok, but when I try to run the game the first time, I get an error saying "Please insert the correct DVD-ROM, click OK and restart the application"
What could I be doing wrong? Thanks for any help!
You may need a patch but I can't give you any links.
@@GrownUpGamingGUG I've also tried with the No-CD patched Startup.exe. But oddly enough, it's still asking for a DVD. I know the No-CD patch works as well, as I've tested with a standard windows install.
I'm trying to run the script against it again, but still seem to get the missing default.htm file error.
@@DeckStuff-KC-qn4vkhave you found a fix to this? I'm having the same issue
@@PepsiDog No; tried a few other things. Tried installing it using WINE, but can't get it to work with the No-CD patch. Also tried to clear it out again from scratch, but still get the same error. Tried also running the patches against it after running the install, but that doesn't work. Not sure where the issue is
Hi. Thank you very much.
But after step 1 /5 done it says "error: app/com.github.Matoking.protontricks/x86_64/master not installed" and finish. Can you help me?
Done. I didnt install protontricks
Glad you got it! 😊
Excuseme again. This time i think i did all but qhen i start the game it starts disconected and i cannot change resolution and no save the game. Any idea?
for me i can change resolution and save game no problem. is it because we have different game files maybe?
