Steam Deck33 Reports
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=DINPUT8=n,b %command%
lavfilters, amstream
Ignore my previous report, game runs at 60hz if you leave the frame limiter at automatic
Not mandatory but hugely improves enjoyment if you install the evo voice patch: https://github.com/chyyran/skyinstaller/releases/tag/1.4.1-steamos-beta
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n, b" %command%
disabled intro + opening movie from config tool
Game only runs at 58 FPS on my Deck, set to 58 Hz refresh rate to avoid hitching
Installed Evolution voices mod (almost necessary) hence the WINEDLLOVERRIDES launch option
Ran on 5W.
Works great, community controller layouts are a big plus. Played with Evo mod for audio only. Standard linux instructions worked just fine on desktop mode.
Game will run just fine as is, but you need to disable VSync in launcher. I played through a game on Normal Difficulty - no issues at all.
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command% is needed if you want to play with japanese voices (from EVO release) You can use this to download VO https://github.com/chyyran/skyinstaller
Weird stutter appears in the music occasionally, even if the game is otherwise running smoothly
Install amstream, quartz, and lavfilters.
Launch using "Configuration Tool (DX8)"
Change the resolution in the Configuration Tool (DX 8) to 1280 X 800 X 32.
Also I have the auto install options enabled in the settings. I was using Wine-GE-Latest
Lowered TDP to 7 to improve battery performance a lot
Opening and ending movie, the video lags heavily behind the audio.
Outside of Opening and Ending videos, everything works fine ootb for this game
Game can be run with lower tdp to improve battery life a lot
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%
Launched protontricks, selected the game, selected default wineprefix, installed Windows DLL. Install amstream, quartz, and lavfilters, and waited for the installations to complete
the intro video slows down in relation to the audio, leading to a desynch, but it can be fixed with protontricks
followed Koolaid Legend's instructions:
Launch protontricks, select Sky FC, select default wineprefix, install Windows DLL. Install amstream, quartz, and lavfilters
keep in mind protontricks is slow you need to wait for the configuration windows to popup
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%
Thanks to Zeddex on the sky SC page for protonDB for giving me the idea to try this. this fixes the video and audio going out of sync for the intro video and im assuming any other videos that play in the game. Launch protontricks, select Sky FC, select default wineprefix, install Windows DLL. Install amstream, quartz, and lavfilters everything from as far as i have played runs as intended!
Needed to map the left Dpad on my PS5 DualSense controller to correspond to the left JoyStick - otherwise Dpad appeared to do nothing ingame or in menus
By default - much of the sides of the game Window appear offscreen. Had to force a resolution change to get the game to fit in the Deck's screen.
Dpad appears to be nonfunctional by default. Had to map the Dpad to be Left Joystick input to get it working.
Intro video and Logo did not play on Proton Experimental (same with 7.0-6), videos were replaced with a colored placeholder card. Likely will be the same with the ending videos too - but I am nowhere near that far in to know yet. Appears to be a regression (Valve transcoded these videos and included them in a shader update about a year ago to get them working - looks like this process is now broken.
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%
(Mostly) works out of the box, but it's worth going into the config tool to adjust some things like resolution, font size and fast forward speed. Controls are already setup for you, they will not match the in-game prompts but they're simple and easy to figure out. Using the analog to move works perfectly but making menu selections is a bit finnicky, I would highly recommend mapping the left joystick to the DPad (which otherwise does nothing) on the Steam layout for more precise menu control.
Voice patch will work no problem using the specified launch option.
Only problem I noticed is the intro video and audio are out of sync, the audio plays normally but the video is much slower, so you end up with the audio ending first then waiting for the video to catch up with no audio playing. 10 hours into the game I haven't come across any other movie sequences so not sure how much of a problem it would be, but for what it's worth, the intro movie can be disabled from the game's config menu.
Capped at 30FPS
Some issues with cutscenes where the video was very slow/delayed
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%
changed trackpads- right to mouse, left to analog stick
needs a launch option to get soravoice to work, and i couldnt get fmvs to work on an old gog executable. current steam version runs flawlessly ootb and can be modded with soravoice lite and other evo mods.
Set TDP to 6 W, GPU throttled to 600, 40 hz, 40 fps. 8 hours of battery life.
This is an old game, and you can squeeze hours of gameplay just by tweaking some settings. It works perfectly ootb
Very rare.
Like other Falcom games on Deck, game can have issues when you come back from sleep mode.
Despite the Unsupported status, the game is fully playable as reported from previous players here. The game has very few issues that won't bring any trouble to your playthrought. Don't forget to run the config utility to change the resolution and to force the game resolution to native from the Deck menu as reported by Arlen (or the screen will be slightly cropped).
As for the EVO modes (voices, arts, visuals, movies and BGM), it is possible to make them work with some tweaks.
- To install them, from Desktop Mode, just drag and drop all the files needed in the Trails in the Sky folder.
- As it won't be possible to run the .bat files to install some files, just rename the files from the mod to match and override the original ones in the game folder.
- Don't forget to add the SoraVoice and SoraVoiceScripts files from GitHub to the voice folder.
- On Deck, apply the following launch options or the voices won't work : WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%
Plays perfectly. Run the provided config tool to adjust the game's resolution, and you're good to go.
Very rare crackling /slight slow down; self-corrects after a few seconds, or on scene change.
Issues with getting d-pad to work correctly. Ended up editing the Steam controller config to make d-pad mimic left stick.
Custom touchpad radial menu; some remapped buttons
Should be rated at least "Playable". Some adjustment of the control scheme made the game more enjoyable: I added a custom trackpad radial menu. About 40 hours in and the only bugs have been some slight glitchiness occasionally when coming back from resume: sometimes the volume buttons don't work or there are some other minor oddities. This never caused any serious problems and just restarting the game fixed everything. Only noticeable game bug is a problem with Joshua's Sever craft doing no damage if in Turbo mode (which is a known issue), but I just pressed the cancel button to skip those animations instead of turboing through them.
On Deck, use Game Resolution: Native. Otherwise, you may end up with a slightly cropped screen. Workaround also works when docked.
On Steam Deck, leaving "force compatibility tool" off will work. Videos play and time speed ups are fine; 6 hours in and no issues.
Specifically, though: Proton 7.0-4 definitely works. GE-PROTON7-33 does NOT work; game will not even launch.
Without proton-GE videos do not work. I did install all of the evo mods plus the voices the same as I would on my own computer and it worked perfectly fine.
Had to enable amstream, quartz and lavfilters to get videos to work on DX8 and to get DX9 to launch.
Installed, Started normally (Default start option), played for just over an hour, Didn't notice any issues. Video playback was fine.
Runs great! No issues so far. The game would only launch in DirectX8 mode but I don't think that's Deck specific.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
game only launches if movies are disabled in launcher
movies not working
launching via controller layout tool below.
Using Ge-Proton7-23, movies disabled: black screen Using Ge-Proton7-5, movies disabled: black screen Using Proton Experimental, movies disabled: Falcom logo displays and the game takes me to the menu. Starting game appears to function and takes me directly to a scene with a table in a room. Using Proton Experimental, movies enabled: takes me directly to the menu. Starting game takes me to the same scene with the girl at the table.
Launching via directx 8 configuration tool below
Using Ge-Proton7-23, movies disabled: game launches and takes me directly to the menu. Using Ge-Proton7-23, movies enabled: game does not launch, black screen. Using Ge-Proton7-5, movies enabled : black screen Using Proton Experimental, movies enabled: game takes me directly to the menu.
So in recap: regardless of if I launch with directx8 or the standard launch, there's some versions of GE proton that get me to the game and many that don't. But in all cases, the in game movies either need to be disabled or they get automatically skipped.
Runs at 60fps on just 3w!
Perfect experience.
Joshua's 'Sever' attack has a bug unrelated to the Steam Deck wherein using the speed boost during the animation makes it do no damage. This is a known bug on all devices.
Changed resolution to 800p manually
Boots up and runs perfectly fine; I played around with a midgame save before loading my epilogue one to check the credits movie + SC teaser. Both ran without slowdown/audio desync. Perfect experience out of the box.
Enabled back grip buttons for keyboard numbers 1, 2, 3 ,4
Used Direct X 8 launcher instead of the default option
Videos seem to be bugged (Intro scene and, maybe the ending?) Game plays normally without other breaking issues.
Video intro is slowed while audio plays normally.
Videos play slowly while audio plays at normal speed. Doesn't effect main gameplay. Game saves carried over from Windows and synced without issue.
