Used protontricks to install RPU.
Game is great on its own but you need RPU.
Lower FPS limit to 40 FPS.
I set the frame limit in-game to unlimited, but had the Steam Deck limit to 40 FPS on all medium settings (AA was set to high) with resolution scaling at 85%. The game was incredibly stable with these tweaks, and given what the game is, 40 FPS is a perfect sweet spot.
Was able to run it near perfect on LMDE 6 (Debian 12), only thing I had to do was actually set the graphics to medium which made the game look ironically better than it did in high.
Crashes after working previously.
I've played this before on 5.x releases constantly without fail across multiple distros until recently. Suddenly it doesn't work anymore past loading screen.
I made a report earlier about how Victoria 2 would not run past the "loading map sprites" window. The issue is that sometimes Steam does not run the DirectX installation script when you download and install Victoria 2 initially. You will need to verify DirectX gets installed or it will be stuck.
I used 6.16-GE for an initial installation.
