>>Now that there is a Steam Deck Native build, is Baldur’s Gate 3 supported on Linux?
>Larian does not provide support for the Linux platform. The Steam Deck Native build is only supported on Steam Deck.
Only half a step forward.

#4That's amazing, it would be interesting to see benchmarks comparing the two versions

I don't have BG3, but wondetr if this 'works' on Bazzite in that case.

This is not a huge issue though. The game runs perfect on Proton on Linux, the problem is really just on the Steam Deck it had poor performance. But on the average desktop it runs flawless.
I'm just happy the Steam Deck seems to be pushing devs to make sure their games run on low power hardware. Really any game should be able to run fine on the Steamdeck, there's no gameplay that isn't possible to run on the hardware. It's just the lack of engineering time spent on making sure the graphics have a proper low option.

I think from Valve's end you can't really do one without the other, so at the very least I am sure it will run just fine elsewhere. This sort of mentality will probably slowly fade if more SteamOS devices hit the market successfully.

#8I really appreciate this. But color me skeptical that the late game will work on SD. It chugs on PCs. Hopefully they conjured a miracle!

#9Slick! Worth noting that Baldurs Gate 3 runs fine through Proton already - I played it on Linux at release with zero issues.

They are partway through creating two new games.
It’s possible that some of the engine improvements could be easily back-ported to BG3. Or even just compiler improvements could be a little more oomph.
Edit:
> Our Proton version runs on the Steam Deck via the Proton compatibility layer, which requires extra CPU processing power. Running the game natively on the Steam Deck requires less CPU usage and memory consumption overall!
Workaround for a performance regression helps some but I suspect more has gone on.
