Just a note for all y’all Deckers, set Proton Experimental in settings to get it to boot.
I’m on my linux desktop, but Proton Experimental was set for me by default. Maybe you got “run other titles with:” under compatibility settings set to something else?
Edit: seems like Valve has now chosen Proton Hotfix for BG3. Says “Proton Hotfix selected by Valve testing”
Also you can’t do local co op at all
Thanks for this! I just got home from work and was about to do some research on which version I needed to get things working.
What is it?
Baldur’s Gate 3
I will say to the people saying it’s too expensive I hear you but and I’m sure in a while down the road it will be cheaper but this is totally THE game studio that’s worth $60 for how many hours you can get out of this game.
Also I have to be done with my playthrough by the time we get great mods that add infinite replayability.
No, I am a poor.
Yeah, I’m gonna have to wait for a good sale before I can justify buying yet another game to add to my backlog. I still have entire franchises I want to finally get to.
Downloading it on my Deck now and can’t wait to see how it plays! They said FSR2 is coming soon, so hoping that’ll help with performance.
I didn’t have early access, I bought it straight from steam today. It was 54gb and change 🤷🏻♂️
I wish there was a way to find the actual download size. It says 100+ gigs in the system requirements, which actually put me off from it on a metered connection. 54 is much more doable.
Yeah EA was 50 something gigs and the full release was over 100 for me on steamdeck.
I woke up and remote downlaoded using my phone and went back to sleeeeeep. But i just found out my dog has congestive heart failure so I haven’t been able to enjoy it :(
That sucks! My pupper had to have surgery after eating a sock, it’s the worst feeling. Hope he gets better
I am sorry to hear that. My cat got diagnosed with a heart condition too recently. It just sucks. I recommend taking a few days off if you can and spending some quality time with your doggo.
Best wishes to you and your dog, dear stranger.
Let us know how it runs on Deck!
I turned it to proton experimental and set everything to low and it’s OK at 40 so far. You get lots of effects early so it might stay stable-ish.
What game is this?
Baldur’s Gate 3
Oh. It looked like some kickass kung-fu comedy game at first. :(
Play as a monk. Bone a bear.
But I don’t want to play this game.
Waiting on the PS5 version. Sept. 6.

Do you think I need to play the first 2 before this one?
Ha. Go for it if you want.
No, there are references and stuff to the others but it is a self contained story.
No, as far as I know there are just some references to the older games. But to understand the story they are not necessary. A general knowledge about Dnd is helpful though.
I’ve got all my knowledge from random tiktoks on my for you page, so pray for me😬
I’ve been playing Dnd for several years now, so it’s kinda hard for me to determine what is common sense and what is just nerd knowledge ingrained into my head. But I think alot of stuff gets explained fairly well. Hope you have fun :D
Why is your install twice the size mine was?
It’s downloading as I’m typing this comment
Hah, I see you aren’t an Ark Player.
