Hi Guys! FYI on this news below as changes in SD Card location might impact your installation for EPIC Games and others. Dec 21, 2022: Update: Valve announced they will rock back the change to the microSD path. Valve has released the 3.4 update of SteamOS for all users, and after a lengthy period in the beta channel, the update is now in the stable channel. However, for this update, Valve changed the path for the microSD. While previously, it was /run/media/mmcblk0p1 it will now be /run/media/deck/mmcblk0p1. This will risk breaking many things, including Emudeck. Thankfully, here's a guide on how to fix EmuDeck for this update. So if you wish to install the update, all you have to do is press the Steam button, scroll down to Settings, and under System, you will find the update.
Perfect! Thanks. This is what I was looking for. Easy to follow instructions. Just got my Deck last night. I'll do this and install some Epic games tonight.
@@GlennThoughts I am so far. Played Spider-Man on Steam and Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox streaming on my lunch break. I'm also surprised about the weight. I heard people talk about it being big... guess i took that as it was heavy. Pretty light for what it can do.
I just did this today and didn't need to use flatseal at all. In desktop mode I went to the heroic settings tab and under general changed the default installation location to my sd card. Then when I went to install a game I was able to click and choose my sd card as my install location. Maybe they updated it and you no longer need flatseal?
Cool. Watched this before and I'm fairly adept with Linux distros and all of this made sense. Just got my deck order and already downloaded flatseal, but it's not actually needed at all. Apparently Heroic flat permissions have been updated at some point between this video. Tried downloading to sd card directory one Epic game and it worked without any issues at all.
watched your 14 minutes tutorial and when i got to do it in practice i found out that i can change the instalation folder without that whole flatseal buisiness. Thanks anyway
i tried installing league of legends, after you install the riot client it installs the game and i change the path again ,installed the patch, logged in, then press play and nothing happens it wont launch
So I followed the guide and installed a game from Epic Games to my SD Card. Managed to do that in the Steam Gaming Mode through the Heroic Launcher - no need to use desktop mode. It has installed the game, but the game ONLY appears if I launch Heroic. The games does not appear in the Non-Steam tab of the dashboard. Now, I can't run the game because the Steam Deck treats the Heroic Launcher as a game, so this would be like trying to run a game within a game. It's not working. I tried to launch the game from the Heroic Launcher and I'm stuck on a loading screen, nothing happens even after several minutes. Have I done something wrong?

Very strange to me. If I launch game (I tried fallout 3 goty) from heroic launcher, I am stuck on intro (please stand by picture), but if I add the epic game as a non steam game and launch it from the library, it works. Dunno why. Any idea?
Do you know how to install games that are not on Epic or GOG? Trying to add a game in HGL from JAST USA, but I keep running into "Error No Wine Version Selected. Check Game Settings!" Yet I have Proton 7.0 selected. Please make a video on installing games other than from Epic or GOG!
Hi. how about its shaders? do the shaders will be saved to SD card as well or it'll be separate? I'd like to put the installed files in SD Card while the cache and shaders are in SSD.
Have you run into any shader cache issues on the steam deck? I'm planning on buying the 64 GB and sd card, swapping the SSD later down the road, but I read about the possibility of running into shader cache issues.
i have the 64gb, its a nightmare when it comes to storage, barely has any room for anything, constantly running out of storage. i upgraded the ssd as soon as i could.. which also was fairly easy to do..
did this and it worked. Played a game for 2 hours saved and exited game. updated heroic game launcher. when back to steam game mode and now my micro sd card is missing. Be careful using this.
This was a 13-minute video for a 2-minute explanation. I couldn't tell if you actually knew what you were talking about until the end of the video. Glenn you have to do better, dude.

The clearest step by step tutorial for this work around. Thanks for uploading!
I agree. I have held off for a while on this until finding this video. I didn't want to mess anything up.
Even I was able to follow it, and I’m not the sharpest tool in the ball pit
Perfect! Thanks. This is what I was looking for. Easy to follow instructions. Just got my Deck last night. I'll do this and install some Epic games tonight.
Congrats on your new deck! You're gonna love it!

Excellent, thanks for this. Was running into the location/filesystem problem. This is perfect. 👍

Thanks for good video. Iam still going to use flatsteal even it is fixed but flatsteal works then why to not use it
Bro, I can't paste the sd card to the heroic launcher file system +add file.
Hi. how about its shaders? do the shaders will be saved to SD card as well or it'll be separate?
I'd like to put the installed files in SD Card while the cache and shaders are in SSD.
On onboard storage only
Have you run into any shader cache issues on the steam deck? I'm planning on buying the 64 GB and sd card, swapping the SSD later down the road, but I read about the possibility of running into shader cache issues.
I havent

Yes
Thank you soo much man

Make sure to read pinned comment
@Glenn Thoughts smd smart ass. Clearly your ad revenue is more important than redoing the video or removing it. save your smart comments
@@GlennThoughts how to find it again please!!!

Not working. sd card directory now showing
It's on the botton left corner as seen in the video. Make sure you do have an sd card though and you already formatted it/you're already using it.
