Launched and played with no issues. I'm using Proton-GE 9_7 as my default proton choice for all games. No launcher tweaks or settings changes needed, runs fine on Steam Deck.
Gamebreaking crashes. I'm keeping a rotating list of six saves currently and anytime it crashes, up to half say "damaged file" on reload.
Game consumes way more power than needed by default, still runs full speed tdp set to 6 or 7 watts.
Game is repeatedly crashing to black screen on close causing save file corruption. Only way to proceed is hard reboot when this happens. Seems to be an issue with the transition from game back to launcher.
Game crashes corrupt save files.
See previous note about crashing on close. Seems to happen very regularly.
Game does not support cloud saves, have to start over on new device.
Startup videos don't play unless you use Proton GE, and end of round screen can't be passed on current proton version. Used Proton-GE 7.5, working perfectly. Runs very well on the Steam Deck, 60+ fps no problem.
Default resolution scaling is set to 150%. Looks pretty, but draws a lot of power (14-18w) on Steam Deck.
Set scaling to 120% (100% looks a bit grainy and text gets harder to read). This dropped power usage to 10.5 - 14w.
Great game, and no issues with Steam version.
Running proton GE 9.7 as my default. Game ran with no tweaks, and runs perfectly.
Updated KellerWeaponsConfig.ini for gamepad bullet physics per https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Tom_Clancy%27s_Rainbow_Six:_Vegas
Back grips set to L3/R3 for convenience. Have to enable Xbox 360 controller in options menu on first launch and restart for controller to work from there on.
Great game, works better on the Deck than it did on my PC.
Back grips to L3/R3 for convenience. When the game starts you have to go to extras -> options and enable Xbox 360 controller
Needs some tweaks and Decky Loader, and requires an Ubi Connect login, but runs smoothly (60-90 fps) once fixed. Steps:
- Browse to the game's folder, and in src/system, and delete systemdetection.dll.
- Create the following script in desktop mode and save it:
#!/bin/bash
while :;
do
PID=ps ax | grep conviction_game | grep Z: | awk '{ print $1 }';
if [ -n "$PID" ]; then
taskset -cap 0-7 "$PID";
fi;
sleep 5;
done;
- chmod +x
Needs Ubisoft Authentication, and won't launch if systemdetection.dll is found in the install path.
See fixes provided. By default game runs between 14 and 60 fps (mostly 25-35 fps), but with script fix it's full speed up to 90 fps. Played the game to completion with fixes.
Not sure if script formatting here is correct, see https://redd.it/1ejnuak for details and links.
Haven't finished the game yet, but no problems after a few hours played.
Game uses way more power than needed by default. Far as I can tell you can scale both CPU and GPU down to minimums (CPU 3 watt, GPU 200 MHz) and it still runs fine, full speed even on Steam Deck OLED at 90 Hz.
These changes dropped the power draw down from 8-9 watts to 4.8 for me.
Recommend reducing CPU and GPU limits on Steam Deck to save power, game doesn't need the default power scaling, and you can double your battery life.
