Pretty much every other comment here is wrong or no longer works, here is the working instructions as of 2023/11/25. You need a specific version of Proton GE in order to get this to work Proton-5.11-GE-3-MF
Steam > Power > Switch to Desktop
Download this file https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/download/5.11-GE-3-MF/Proton-5.11-GE-3-MF.tar.gz
Extract the .tar.gz to a folder called Proton-5.11-GE-3-MF
Move this folder to
~/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d
(if it doesn't exist create it)
Restart your steam deck
Find the Game > Settings > Compatibility and choose Proton-5.11-GE-3-MF
Boot the game and all should work
NOTE: this wont work if you copied mfplat.dll to your game directory, if you did you need to delete this file.
Definitely one of the most difficult games to figure out as the advice in the comments are a complete mess
So an update on my previous recommendation, while using 5.11-GE-3-MF/Proton-5.11-GE-3-MF.tar.gz does solve the cutsene issues I had quite a few issues with crashing and so here are the updated instructions as of 2023/12/02
Steam > Power > Switch to Desktop
Download the zip file from here https://gitlab.com/steevyp/mf-installcab_steamdeck
Extract it to a folder
Open the console and go to the directory you extracted the zip file
Run this command PROTON="$HOME/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Proton 8.0" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/462780/pfx" ./install-mf-64.sh -proton
It looks like its hanging but unfortunately this script takes 30 minutes+ to finish working, you need to wait until its completely finished
copy mfplat.dll to game directory
Restart your steam deck
Find the Game > Settings > Compatibility and choose Proton 8
Boot the game and all should work
This method resolves the stability issues with my previous method
Tried everything suggested here, ea launcher loads but get error message when trying to launch the game.
Tried switching proton version, tried switching out ea app for origin thin client nothing seems to work.
Switching to proton experimental and clicking cancel to driver too old error now gets to be able to load the game
