Steam Deck37 Reports
Used the latest Proton GE to avoid any textures issues and installed SpecialK to enable sleepless cores to fix the FPS drop issue. Game runs flawlessly after those fixes.
Using the latest proton GE fixes any texture issues.
The game runs at a locked 60FPS on Steamdeck even upscaled to 1920x1200 HOWEVER just like on windows regardless of resolution or graphical configuration the game has an issue where it will drop frames by nearly half for a moment or two when traversing the world. This is a common issue with the older Lego games such as this one and Marvel Heroes It happens regardless of configuration.
The fix is to install specialK and enable sleepless cores.
Basically just download Specialk put specialk32.dll into the games main install folder, rename that dll to d3d9.dll and specialK is now installed.
Edit a control layout to make one of the buttons press Ctrl+shift+backspace to pull up the specialK on-screen-display. Near the frame-rate graph you'll see an "Advanced" option, click that, and enable "Sleepless cores" and "Sleepless Windows Core" and then you're all set. You can now play now max upscaled at a locked 60FPS without any drops.
For more information see the entry on PC gaming Wiki for "L
After the two pretty simple tweaks above the game runs fantastically with zero issues even at massively upscaled resolutions.
Using 2 Xbox Series controllers via Bluetooth for local multiplayer works great!
To avoid this issue make sure the game is installed on local storage (not the SD card).
Also make sure you're running this with proton GE (not sure about this part but doesn't hurt to have it)
It's a fun game when it works. Unfortunately, it's currently broken on the Steam Deck using the official Proton Builds.
Water and lava textures are rendered as a flat rainbow hued shimmer that is visible through the level geometry.
Needs GE ("Glorious Eggroll") proton to run. Once you install that, works perfectly.
TDP to 6w
With default Proton graphic issues with water, lava and sometimes shadows. Change to any Proton GE version will solve it and experience is perfect. 6w at 45fps for decent playtime on battery, with high graphic settings (highest possible) at 1280x800. For docked mode I changed to 8w to get 60fps stable at fhd.
Игре необходима библиотека d3dx9_41 иначе вода будет артефачить. Установите Protontricks (из магазина Discover) и запустите его. Выберите эту игру в списке и нажмите ОК (ждите открытия следующего окна). Далее выбирайте пункты: Использовать префикс по умолчанию – Установить библиотеку DLL или компонент Windows – d3dx9_41 – ОК (после повторного открытия окна просто закройте его).
flickering water and lava without proton GE. Everything is fine with Proton GE
You need GE-Proton for flickering water and other textures fix
Minor slow downs can happen when loading new areas and some effects can cause minor slow downs but from my entire playthrough of the game it was very minor.
After the latest proton update, this game is now fully functional. The rainbow textured have been fixed.
Current Steam Proton works but some textures are rainbow and bleed through all objects. With the GE proton this issue is resolved.
Using forced experimental Ge-proton8-21 (newest version at time of writing) go to protontricks, select LEGO lord of the rings, then Select the default winprefix, Install a Windows DLL or Component, install d3dx9_41. This solution is reported fo PC but works to fix flashing texture issue on deck. Make sure game files are installed on internal storage. First working solution I have found that works for this issue.
Running official proton 8.0-3 (latest at time of writing) and running Proton Experimental would result in certain textures being replaced with a bright rainbow like flicker. Not unplayable but very distracting. Changing to GE-Proton8-9 (latest at time of writing) fixed these graphical glitches and made the game run beautifully.
Runs at max settings 1280x800 16:10 with a solid 60fps and is a lot of fun!
Some of the textures are broken and the audio occasionally stutters, but otherwise the game works fine.
Certain textures flicker a rainbow-like color.
GE-Proton7-43 with the game running off the deck itself and not the SD card (same as Zaqew said below). I tried a few of the other suggestions below but it only worked once i transfered the game to the deck.
The game only worked for me when I used GE-Proton7-43 AND installed to the internal storage. When I installed it on my SD card it didn't work, no matter which Proton version I chose. After doing so there have not been any problems and not a single crash.
Launching with default Steam Proton quits right after intro logo. With GE-Proton7-43 it works great!
For me, running the game without GE-Proton7-43 was unplayable. took way to long to load into the menu, and couldn't get it to load into new game.
protontricks 214510 d3dx9_41
protontricks 214510 d3dx9_41
protontricks 214510 d3dx9_41 install proton tricks on steamdeck destop, find the game install that dx9-41.Thats it.
Doesn't run in experimental. Downloaded GE-Proton7-38, and works like a charm.
Some cinematics have a very slight crackle in music
Runs pretty excellent on SD with proton expiremental, fun game as well
Proton 7.0-4 and Proton Experimental crash after first logo is shown (my guess is probably because of unsupported video codec for the video starting right after). GE-Proton plays great!
As other reports noted you may have to delete your wine prefix folder for the game, if you started it with nonworking proton version before. But I am not sure if you have to.
the folder is: /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/214510
Switching between windows (the game and chrome) cause the resolution to change so drastically that I had to relaunch the game.
I tried previously running the game without the compatability layer and changing the compatability layer was not the only step to get the game working.
If you tried to run the game without the compatability layer, you may have to enter desktop mode and navigate to your CompatData folder, and delete the folder for this game (214510)
The game probably won't work without installing ProtonUp-Qt and GE-Proton7-24 first. You may need to delete the compatdata folder if it already exists (if you tried to run the game once before).
Always crashes on startup no matter what version of Proton or configuration I use. I've tried some of the things other people said to do, but none of them fixed the issue.
After I installed GE-Proton7-20 the Game starts and runs smoothly.
I have tried a number of versions of proton here, it appears that they all crash immediate at start.
Using GE-Proton is a must on the Steam Deck cause otherwise the game simply won't pass the boot screen
Quick Access - Performance - Advanced View - Framerate Limit 30
GE-Proton is required
Be sure to set resolution to correct one at first launch
Without new Proton installe the game fails to start.
