Steam-Metadata-Editor VS Steam-Play-None

Do you happen to know anything about the way they hash cd keys?

You can with both Steam Metadata Editor and Steam Edit.

Using a Metadata editor like this one you can delete the PDLauncher and go back to running like normal. I had to do this last week when they started adding the extra crap, breaking my 1.10 RO install.

How do I get Steam Metadata Editor working on the Steam Deck?

On my PC, I've been able to dupe the PC version and have the appID point to it as if it were the Steam version, but that was with a program called SteamEdit, which currently doesn't play nice with the Steam Deck at this moment. So until SteamEdit or Steam Metadata Editor get better Steam Deck support, I'm currently locked out of those particular things.

I don't have any launch options set, the menus I'm talking about are these.

Hi all, I've been wanting to find something similar to SteamEdit for the Deck, All I've been able to track down is this: https://github.com/tralph3/Steam-Metadata-Editor, but I can't seem to get the program to build on my deck. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm really just looking to change the names and sort names for my games so that games are in the order I want. Thanks in advance! :)

As far as I know you have two options: - Select Steam Linux Runtime as compatibility tool (There may be issues depending on the app). - Install Steam-Play-None and select it as compatibility tool. For the latter you can do it manually, via ProtonUp-Qt or directly with wget in the terminal: wget https://github.com/Scrumplex/Steam-Play-None/archive/refs/heads/main.tar.gz tar -xzf main.tar.gz -C ~/.steam/steam/compatibilitytools.d/

Yup. This does put a Steam layer over the top, but it shouldn’t be an issue for most games. Only game I’ve seen where it was was CrossCode which stutters unless you play it through a custom runtime without it https://github.com/Scrumplex/Steam-Play-None

Install Steam-Play-None and select it instead.

But seriously, I did check through a few scenarios ingame and everything was quite readable for me holding the Deck at a typical distance. CrossCode is one of my favorite games and I would absolutely recommend it, but be aware in super heavy combat scenes the Deck will stutter without applying this fix to tell it to run via the linux native version instead of the proton version that Valve assigned it by default for some reason.

Use Steam-Play-None.

Install this with proton up-qt and use it as your compatibility layer for Crosscode. You’ll not get achievements but performance will be perfect https://github.com/Scrumplex/Steam-Play-None

Quick heads up, the stuttering in CrossCode can be fixed by telling Steam to not use any compatability layer and just run the native Linux version of the game - unfortunately by default the UI doesn't support this but it can be fixed pretty easily with this mod.

/u/Scrumplex was kind enough to post a fix for this problem. Find it in this repository. Runs buttery-smooth on my Deck now.

Based on those games, I think you might enjoy CrossCode. There's a free demo so you can check it out before purchasing. Note that later in the game you can encounter some performance issues running the game via the default Proton version, but you can apply this fix to run the native Linux version of the game and it runs flawlessly on Deck.
