So the launcher directly from their website apparently works now. It certainly didn't work when I tried to preload the game but hey, it is what it is LOL.
@@galeraf301 well, now you don’t have to sell your soul to epic games, also, it might just be me but I’ve found the game downloads quicker from website
i followed step by step but im having an issue with the controller. ill set it to controller but it wont accept any input except for the b button which when pressed, resets to mouse and keyboard. any ideas on how to fix this issue? edit: i figured it out. if you press start and back at the same time in desktop mode it switches the controller function
I think there might be OTHER ways to get it working but for now the Epic version is definitely the *easiest* way to get it working. And for what it's worth, if you use the Heroic Games Launcher, you technically aren't touching the real deal Epic launcher.
For the record, only AFTER this video was made, apparently the standard launcher decided it would work fine. So the Epic Store isn't required anymore, but THAT is a recent development. We've been telling people to preload via EGS for days.
I am having trouble installing it, when i select c programfiles x86 it tells me that o have insuficient space, wich is probably true, but it doesnt let me install in my SD card, its called primary i think, but it appears nameless and cant select it.
@@HiTechLoLife As an update i would like to say that after factory reseting my steam deck and formating my sd card the problem still persist so i couldnt select my SD card to install the game, the only diference is that now i do have the space to install it on the C drive at least, that half the space gone though :/
Hi just wanted to ask if use WIndows on the Steamdeck and play through windows does the performance the same as in SteamOS or slow performance? i wanted to change to Windows since all game i play are all Mihoyo games (Genshin, HI3,HSR)and Wuthering Waves
I actually did this before the video dropped, the issue I'm having through, is during gameplay it'll eventually freeze up. I start up heroic, then the launcher, logs in just fine, there's no lag or dropped fps when playing, but it'll just occasionally crash and I have to restart the steam deck.
The game is works for me, but it has big VRAM issues on my laptop. From what i've seen the game fails to release unused memory so it eventually taps out and starts stuttering like crazy trying to reallocate memory. Going from a smooth 60 to 10-30 fps constantly. This happens regardless of graphics settings. I'm on an NVIDIA machine using Wayland, so maybe the steam deck managed to dodge this issue? Also i did download the launcher from the official site bc heroic was failing to launch the installer.
@@HiTechLoLife maybe 10-20 minutes, sometimes a bit more. Depends on how many things the game loads, like if you are constantly loading into new areas it will be quicker. It seems to be an nvidia only issue from what ive seen on reddit
This version works fine in desktop mode but running it as a non-steam game just makes it crash before the launcher even loads up. I have no idea what to even try to troubleshoot this
You're not breaking ToS. For now at least, considering we've been playing Genshin Impact for far longer without repercussions, it is (relatively speaking) safe enough¹. ¹: The choice is yours, the risk assessment is yours, I'm not saying it WON'T happen, only that we have reason to believe it may not.
Playing through the hoyo launcher does not avoid the anti-cheat. HSR does not work with the hoyo launcher on the deck, but Genshin does because they use different anti-cheat systems. The only bans were for bypassing the anti-cheat, and that only resulted in a relatively small number of people being temporarily banned from playing HSR on their decks and has not happened again since.
@@SiegmundCG Yeah disregard my previous message I just tested it in handheld and yeah, your only real option is 1280x720. Which is odd because both Genshin and Honkai can do 1280x800
I got a question. seeing as zzz on epic works on deck, would the epic version of genshin impact work as well or do I need to go off of the anime game launcher? should I use the anime game launcher over epic version?
Wuthering Waves used to work in 1.1 presumably due to Kuro fucking up (classic, I know) their anticheat which made it run on Linux. They hotfixed the fuck up as expected and now it doesn't work. There *is* a way to get it to run but the process is very involved and requires a lot of tinkering
@@HiTechLoLife games getting repetitive for me so I'm deciding on if I want to continue. I did get the furry wolf guy and suckona so now I just need elle
It is safe as you use the official ZZZ launcher, whether or not you download it from Epic/Heroic. Whether or not it'll continue to work this easily depends on Hoyoverse but it shouldn't cause any issues with the Deck itself regardless.
For whatever reason this time around it seems they've included ALL voice languages in the download instead of just downloading them as needed unlike say, Genshin.
@@bigweebshawny4230 you can create a hoyo account and then link your Google account to it. And then you log in with the hoyo account and your Google account will log in with those credentials without needing a browser
I have heard your issues and there's a new video addressing some of these issues!

Yea, it only works from the website if you add it to steam, I personally found the website version had a smoother install
Are there really differences between those two methods?
@@galeraf301 well, now you don’t have to sell your soul to epic games, also, it might just be me but I’ve found the game downloads quicker from website
And now there is the sleepy launcher, could be good to have a comparison between official launcher and sleepy launcher maybe
@@galeraf301 you don’t sell your soul to epic games on the website
Dude I LOVE your intro. So aesthetic! You made it yourself?
Oh my fucking god I’ve been waiting for this game dude
Bro thank you so much ❤
I'm having a blast with this game too 😉
Thank you for this, I was stuck on the "You have not enough space" screen, I didn't think of using the virtual C: drive
wierd thing happening to my game, it doesn't detect the fact that i'm using a controller, i can only use the keyboard layout. Why does this happen?
Nevermind found the fix, gotta switch back to gaming mode lol
i followed step by step but im having an issue with the controller. ill set it to controller but it wont accept any input except for the b button which when pressed, resets to mouse and keyboard. any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Always fast with these uploads, right when I wanted to try it on the deck, nice
Was excited before i found out it requires the epic version. My disappointment is sorta noticeable, and my day is mildly inconvenienced.
I think there might be OTHER ways to get it working but for now the Epic version is definitely the *easiest* way to get it working.
And for what it's worth, if you use the Heroic Games Launcher, you technically aren't touching the real deal Epic launcher.
Surely it can be installed with the hoyoplay launcher but you risk getting banned as sometimes happens with honkai stair rail
@@HiTechLoLife tbh the hoyoverse launcher is probably more shady than epic lol. Always appreciate the guides for steamdeck, though. Thanks!

@@Pancake_Madnessalso, the HoyoPlay launcher is exactly what Epic downloads to *then* install the game. So.

Hm... That may warrant further investigation. Maybe a followup video too.
same issue here

How long do you tend to play for until it crashes?
@@HiTechLoLife Usually 1-2 hours maybe more, I hadn't really timed it.
Is it easy to uninstall later if they end up not being updatable ?
Through heroic, easy presumably.
Thanks for the vid friend. Say does it work with the junk store plungin from decky?

Ok so I get black screen when I launch the game so I wonder what I did wrong
Like I can hear the game audio but everything black
how
do i install in sd card?
Yes you can, I did it on my steam deck and it works fine, you have to mount the SD card partition and select it when installing the game
This version works fine in desktop mode but running it as a non-steam game just makes it crash before the launcher even loads up. I have no idea what to even try to troubleshoot this
That's odd I haven't had any issues with running it as a non-steam game. Did you add it as a non-steam game through Heroic itself?
Same issue and added through Heroic
Hmmm...
Well there IS another method you can use to get ZZZ and it doesn't go through Epic.
I have a video on it actually.
Is there a risk of getting banned like using the hoyo launcher and playing HSR or GI?
You're not breaking ToS. For now at least, considering we've been playing Genshin Impact for far longer without repercussions, it is (relatively speaking) safe enough¹.

Really wish we could just pick the Steam Deck 16:10 1280x800 native resolution with this setup.
I believe you can. I just had it plugged into a dock so I could record footage.
@HiTechLoLife Yours were the same as my resolution options and I didn't have a dock or anything. Weird.
@@SiegmundCG Yeah disregard my previous message I just tested it in handheld and yeah, your only real option is 1280x720. Which is odd because both Genshin and Honkai can do 1280x800
tysm!
Nice. Now I can download this on the deck, free up space on my phone and reinstall honkai impact 3rd (another big file game)
I got a question. seeing as zzz on epic works on deck, would the epic version of genshin impact work as well or do I need to go off of the anime game launcher? should I use the anime game launcher over epic version?
I think nowadays you could use the epic version of genshin but tbh I'd still prefer the an anime launcher.
LET'S GO!!!
will this method work for Honkai Star Rail?
My Hoyo account is with Google, so when i try to login with google it says use the browser but the browser never pops up, even in desktop mode
I made a second video with a different install method that'll let you use your Google account and other accounts.
U can still play by this method if you add a hero.. launcher to steam lib, and run zzz from it
guys, how to make 1280x720 in full screen?
Oooo I can download on my SD card yesv
Insufficient disk that you said in the tutorial did not work.
What bout Wuthering Waves n solo leveling can you do that on steam deck?🤔
Wuthering Waves used to work in 1.1 presumably due to Kuro fucking up (classic, I know) their anticheat which made it run on Linux. They hotfixed the fuck up as expected and now it doesn't work. There *is* a way to get it to run but the process is very involved and requires a lot of tinkering
The bangboo banner isnt popping up for me
You're definitely not far enough in the game
@@HiTechLoLife games getting repetitive for me so I'm deciding on if I want to continue. I did get the furry wolf guy and suckona so now I just need elle
nice
Ok that’s cool and all but how do you do it to an sd card???
I have a newer (and better) video explaining that process.
How punctual!
is this a safe method? id love to give it a go but worried about messing something up-
It is safe as you use the official ZZZ launcher, whether or not you download it from Epic/Heroic.
Whether or not it'll continue to work this easily depends on Hoyoverse but it shouldn't cause any issues with the Deck itself regardless.
@@HiTechLoLifethank you!
Would it work with JunkStore?
There have been reports saying that it would.
It’s 110GB !! Jesus
The game itself is actually ~57GB but you need 110GB for the installation process, so it can decompress files.
Is there a way to install it on your SD card? I just have the 64gb version of the steam deck
What if I didn't want to install it on ssd and on my hdd instead?
100gb?????? I just download this on main pc 😭😭
It's only 110gb then it's compressed to 50-60gb after download finished
For whatever reason this time around it seems they've included ALL voice languages in the download instead of just downloading them as needed unlike say, Genshin.
