Just got hogwarts and the game doesn’t run because it needs hoops and ladders to download some weird proton thing and almost this other shit to fix it. How can you sell a game that isn’t compatible and get away with it.

    My wife has been playing Hogwarts Legacy for 9 months with no issues. No hoops or ladders. No special Proton thing.

    I played the entire game, start to finish, on release, on my Deck. It crashed twice, apart from that, no issues, and certainly no hoops or ladders.

    One thing to try is to change the Proton compatibility layer.

    When you have the game page open, click the gear icon, then properties, then compatibility, then ‘force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool’, then try one of the other ones. Usually Proton Experimental works.

    Sucks that it doesn’t work out of the box for you like it has for others.

    What exactly is your problem here? Not knowing that the Deck runs Linux and thus needs a compatability layer to run Windows games or that there are still not enough Linux “ports” out there? Or maybe something else?

    It’s not the responsibility of Valve to deliver a system which runs everything without doing any adjustments neither are companies obliged to provide Linux versions of their software.
