Steam Deck28 Reports
Reduced GPU/CPU to ~600Mhz and 5 Watts for Battery Life
Game runs like a charm, absolutely no issues here.
See below
Small error popup shows up the first time the game launches. You need to tick the box with the touchscreen or the mouse with STEAM button and it never shows again. Does not cause any issues in-game
Some artifacts in the background of chapter 2 (when using proton 9-04, don't know if the artifacts are still there with GE)
Some videos couldn't be played before switching to GE
Bugs from running on linux:
Most of the game works out of the box with stock proton (tested with proton9-04). However at the start of the third case an issue that prevented cutscene video playback made me switch to GE-proton9-22, which fixed it. I noticed some artifacts on the background on a few scenes during chapter 2, but since I was using proton9-04 at the time, I don't know if GE fixes them as well.
Fixing the port:
install both TGAA Community patch (https://github.com/AdmiralCurtiss/dgs_hackfix) and the High-Quality Audio patch (https://gamebanana.com/mods/309458). The first patch fixes several issues with the port, and among other things makes the game less intensive on the CPU, which helps with playing it on the Deck. The second patch is a port of the high-quality tracks audio from older versions of the game.
Performance:
I played the game locked at 30fps (which is the default for the game), but with the TGAA Community patch you can push it to 60 if you want to. The game is not demanding at all to run (especially with the TGAA Community Patch) so my settings to play at constant 30fps were as follows:
- Disable Frame Limit: ON (the game is locked to 30fps by default)
- Allow Tearing: On (use the in-game setting instead)
- TDP Limit: 4w
- Manual GPU clock: 300MHz
Runs flawlessly out of the box, GPU/CPU can be clocked lower to save battery without any visual or performance impact. Is a 30FPS game.

完美运行，可打中文补丁
Adjusted power limit to ~8w
Great experience on Deck. Installing mods recommended for better experience, but not necessary
Trackpad as a giant single A button for comfort when laying down
As other reports noted, installing both TGAA Community patch (https://github.com/AdmiralCurtiss/dgs_hackfix) and the High-Quality Audio patch (https://gamebanana.com/mods/309458) is recommended. The former in particular improves battery life while running at double the framerate, so it's a win-win!
Game plays great docked at 1080p 60fps, really no issues whatsoever
The game will not launch unless using Proton 7.
The only issues I've seen last a few seconds at most, and can be ignored in Ace Attorney style gameplay
Thermal power limit
Rare crackling. TDP needs to be turned OFF during animated cutscenes or audio and video will desync.
Works great
Installed both TGAA Community patch and the High-Quality Audio patch https://github.com/AdmiralCurtiss/dgs_hackfix & https://gamebanana.com/mods/309458
TDP set to 3 watts, runs at 60 FPS no problem. ~5 hours of gameplay
On one occasion had sped-up/crackled audio after messing with sidebar, non-occuring. Prob due to audio patch so download at own risk
Installed the Great Ace Attorney community patch https://github.com/AdmiralCurtiss/dgs_hackfix and the HQ Audio patch https://gamebanana.com/mods/309458
Changed TDP limit to 3W.
Set Framerate Limit to 30. Set Thermal Power(TDP) Limit to 4 Watts. Gives 5-6 hours of battery life.
Run flawlessly, made some changes to extend battery life. Game forces a set 30 fps so you may not need to cap it.
Installed dgs_hackfix (https://github.com/AdmiralCurtiss/dgs_hackfix). For it to work, it's necessary to use protontricks to run winecfg (protontricks 1158850 winecfg) so that an override for dinput8 could be added (otherwise Proton will use its own version of dinput8). This also improves framerate to 60 as a bonus. Doing so makes makes Steam Deck's fan quiet, and allows improving battery performance without manually lowering TDP.
As above.
Set TDP to 3 watts
You could probably save some battery with some tweaking, since it's not a very graphically demanding game.
TDP: 5 watts, GPU: 400 Mhz.
TPD and GPU can be turned down all the way and still maintain 60 fps during gameplay, but videos will lag and desync from audio. Game will drain battery if TDP is left at default settings.
I originally reported that the game window wouldn't launch, despite trying multiple workarounds and proton versions.
Ended up getting the game to work by manually deleting the data in steamapps/common and steamapps/compatdata/3426609331 and then redownloading. After that, experimental proton works!
Game launches and I can hear SFX but the game window never shows up. I've tried the Media Foundation DLL fix but that only affects cutscenes after the game started.
30FPS cap, 4W power
Set TDP at 3W as the game doesn't really need more
Ran at 3 watts for over 5 hours of battery life. Framerate stayed at 30
After resuming from suspend the audio was sped up and crackling for a few seconds before returning to normal
I played on Deck so follow these instructions:
- Install: wget, python2, wine and cabextract
- git clone https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-installcab.git && cd mf-installcab
- export PROTON="/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 7.0"
- WINEPREFIX="/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1158850/pfx" ./install-mf-64.sh
- Download DLL files and copy files to directory, where TGAAC.exe is.
- Launch the game through Steam with Proton 7.0
