  • @ilEagle3696
    @ilEagle3696 Год назад +4

    TL;DR: It's not bannable, the reason the process is long is because the game assumes you're on Windows which doesnt run the same file types as the steam deck so you need to do some working around to run the game which still uses the official launcher.
    Details:
    to everyone in the comments: this is NOT BANNABLE. It uses the official launcher with no tweaks to the game itself. The reason it's such a tedious process is because steam deck runs on linux which doesnt run EXE files by itself. You either need wine or proton (proton being the program that steam uses when you run games through it) The game also creates a fake C drive (which is what windows uses) and the drive is located in the compact data folder which means you will have to locate it to find the game files and, in turn, the launcher.
    Hope this helps :)

      I've been experimenting with either a Low graphics + 45 hz refresh + 45 fps cap setup or a Lowest graphics + 60hz refresh + 60 fps cap setup. The first one is super stable and smooth, which is nice. The second one definitely feels great when things are running at 60 fps, but stutters when the fps drops in crowded areas.

    Thanks a lot for this great guide! Got it working on my Steam Deck. Now my main question is what settings are you using overall to optimize Genshin for running smoothly?
    I already watched your other video on the 6 must know Steam Deck hacks and already have all those plugins installed, plus I have Cryobyte33's Utility app. However, you don't mention in that video on what Genshin settings you are using, mind sharing? I'm using mostly medium settings with a few turned off like v-sync and have 40hz FPS lock. Game runs a bit better, but could be even better I think. Definitely ain't gettin 60 fps consistently if I left 40Hz mode off, too many frame dips and stutter.

    • @ZhakOfAllTrades
      @ZhakOfAllTrades  Год назад

      Hi! I have most things on medium, try running fsr2 it helps a lot. Also ive set my cpu to 2.8 which keeps it cool. Honestly id rather lock at 40 cause its just way smoother and preserves battery! This game is sooo mich heavier than it used to be a year ago... Hard to believe it even, i was running it on a 2011ROG laptop with 60fps not a single stutter. Right now same machine barely stays at 40

      This cannot get you banned as you are not doing anything that an anticheat perceives as cheating. You are playing the game on an "layer that sinulates windows" (don't quote me on that people that understand proton :D) Regardless as of a few days the game runs again on the steam deck. Enjoy it while it lasts. You can always use my other method and stream it from your pc too!

    Does this method still work to your knowledge? Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but every time I install this game following these steps exactly, everything is fine until I hit “Play” in game mode on the launcher.exe. The steam deck acts like it’s launching the .exe, but fails. When I go back into desktop mode, all of the game files I installed have been deleted and all that’s left on my device is the .exe to install the launcher that I got from Genshin’s site. I’ve tried reinstalling, and no matter where I install (both local SSD or SD card), the game just deletes at the same step.

      Skip the step where you remove the installer from steam, leave it as a non-steam game after installation (you can hide it instead). Some people report this works for them.

      Hi, try searching for Launcher.exe in the drive. Make sure you installed the launcher properly. You should be able to run it directly after installation, try that and see if the files pop out. They are somewhere.
      You could also use an SD card if you have available, this also makes updating the launcher way easier later.
