Steam-Play-None Alternatives

Steam-Play-None reviews and mentions

• Force Steam to use Linux build of software (Substance, Blender)
  1 project | /r/SteamDeck | 24 Jun 2023

  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/

• How do I know which version (Native Linux or Windows + Proton) Steam is going to install before installing the game?

  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

• Is there a way to make a windows game launch a .desktop file instead of running normally?

  Install Steam-Play-None and select it instead.

• Fellow Deck owners, what's your favorite single player game that you don't think enough people know about?

  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.

• How to switch to native on steam?

  Use Steam-Play-None.

• Your favorite (modern) pixel JRPGs?

  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

• What do you guys play? Since I received my deck in the mail, I have found myself increasingly more interested in pixel games and top-down style games. Any suggestions on really good battery friendly games?

  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.
