Steam Deck not working about brainwine HOT 12 CLOSED

I’ve made it as far as getting the jar to run and the server working, but the deepworld game itself doesn’t appear to be connecting to it. I suspect it’s due to the Windows registry files not doing anything in Linux but I’m no professional.

That’s a tricky one, I’m surprised that the game even runs at all! Unfortunately, I do not own a Steam Deck and can not fiddle around with it myself. Deepworld (V3) uses Unity’s PlayerPrefs for fetching the gateway/API hosts and on Windows this happens to be the registry. You could try to see if you can find out where they are stored on the Steam Deck and see if it’s possible to modify them.

By the way, I assume you’re running the server on a regular PC?

I’ve only tried running the server and the game on the deck at the same time, before I set up a server elsewhere. However I will check for the PlayerPrefs.

If it’s Linux-based it might be worth checking out ~/.config/unity3d/Bytebin LLC/Deepworld, if that means anything to you.

No Bytebin in unity3d folder, but I guess I should be more specific with my issues. The game and server run and the server starts, but the account creation won’t work and that leads me to believe the client and server aren’t connected, however I’m no expert on servers and especially new to semi-reboots of gone too soon mmos.

I may need to run the server from a regular pc but the only real options I have are my old MacBook and my raspberry pi.

You can run the server on whatever you want, but it needs those PlayerPrefs keys to connect to it

I'm not sure the exact path of compatdata on the Steam Deck but at least for Steam on my Arch Linux machines modifying the ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/340810/pfx/user.reg file to have the required registry values allows me to connect to the server just fine.

And no such path exists on your Steam Deck?

I’ll check soon, I’ve had a busy week this weekend should be a good time to check.

I found it! But I have no idea what to do now.

Not sure how it works on Linux, but try something along the lines of creating a key called gateway in that location and setting its value to local (if you’re running the server on the same machine you’re playing on)
