So recently, for reasons unknown to me, the old trick of

 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="steam_api64=n,b" %command%

has not been working, at least with SteamOS 3.5 on the Steam Deck.

So here is the fix if you've been having the problem of "SteamAPI_Init() failed" in your logs, particularly when using something like the Goldberg emulator that relies on implementing a replacement for steam_api64.dll. This should work for other cracks like TENOKE's which use the same method.

1.Navigate to the folder of the Proton version that you want to use for the game (it defaults here on the Steam Deck):

 /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/(THE PROTON VERSION THAT YOU USE)/user_settings.sample.py

2.Rename that file to:

 user_settings.py

3.Within that file, erase everything and add one single line:

 user_settings = {"WINEDLLOVERRIDES": "steam_api64=n,b"}

4.Save the file and check to see if your games are working through Steam.

I don't know why this works over WINEDLLOVERRIDES in the launch options - it really shouldn't. But I've found that it does.

Let me know your experience.

Leaked images reveal Lenovo’s Steam Deck competitor with a hint of the Switch by MattyXarope in c/[email protected]

It looks sick. I actually have no problem that it's thicker if that means that the battery life is longer (although weight is a concern over thickness, of course). Lenovo hardware is hit and miss though (and I say this having used a Legion laptop for the past few years).

Also, Steam Deck will still remain king until the other companies can make a good track record of consistent software improvements which are needed on a device like this. I see all of these other clones - the Ally, the 50000 Aya devices - and I still am not tempted until I know that they will be supported long term. I really think that this support sets the tone for these devices - is this market going to be a 'it's a year old and already outdated so I'll just buy a new one' kind of thing? Or will it be 'this is good for a quite a few years and I'm happy with my purchase and not immediately getting fomo'? I really hope it's the latter.

Another thing is that, and maybe I'm misremembering, but didn't Nintendo patent some part of the detachable controller design that scared companies from doing anything similar for a long time? I could have sworn that was happening for quite a while...

Don't use Proton Experimental for Baldur's Gate 3 (anymore) by MattyXarope in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

The game is fun, but I would definitely not say that it runs great. It's runs at a bare minimum 30fps with low/medium settings and dips below 30. The FSR implementation is awful and basically unusable - it blurs your character beyond recognition. I have to use the Deck's frame limiter and FSR to get it to run decently. The game is not well optimized.

But as I said, the game is cool. Worth a play if you like rpgs.

Samsung announces One UI 6 beta with Android 14, then deletes it | 9to5Google by MattyXarope in c/[email protected]

Normally, I'd agree with you. Samsung does put some stupid bloatware apps that you have to disable (which I understand is not the same as uninstalling). But in this case I think that Samsung's quick settings are better than stock which looks like this. The amount of space wasted there is insane.

Tip: Nearby Share can send entire folders from your Android device to other Android devices, Chromebooks, and Windows PCs through the Files by Google app by MattyXarope in c/[email protected]

Really wish this were just built into Android instead of being tied to the Files by Google app.

And yet there are 0 consequences for not doing so. What is Congress going to do?

If those computers that he's selling have hard drives in them, I'd be shocked if you couldn't recover something wild

Just saw that Gary is back home and thought some people might support him after the work he's done for the Switch scene.

Is it just me or are mod tools completely broken on Lemmy World? (lemmy.world)

On the website, in both Chrome and Edge, I cannot remove posts. The "more" option (the ellipsis) does nothing at all. It's not functional. Clicking it does not work at all, in either browser. This means that mod tools are not accessible.

Are you guys tired of "Material You" design? by MattyXarope in c/[email protected]

I'm not upset by it because, like all Google design eras, nearly no one uses it uniformly.

Just saw this video for the first time on a random channel that uploads some old RnB content - it's incredible! I had no idea Patty could sing in that style. It's almost like Dolly a little bit.
