Steam deck players, how did you get your game to run? My game keeps crashing on the steam deck, no matter what I do. The farthest I’ve gotten was about 5 minutes into the game, then either the game crashes or the console just shuts down. It keeps throwing DirectX error on crash. I’ve reinstalled, verified game files, even factory reset the console.
It’s running fine on mine. Taking it’s sweet time during large combat encounters, but pretty good besides that.
What proton are you using? Someone else said using experimental worked for them, which is easy to install and test. I’m using GE which is a bit harder to install but really does help get some broken games to work.

I bought it refurbished through GameStop. I don’t think valve will cover it. Does anyone know if GameStop will let me exchange it even if it’s been more than a week?
You should contact Valve especially if you have a receipt from GameStop, I feel like they’d maybe honor it?
GameStop will probably allow a swap, too. You can call and ask, laying out the details.
I’ve had a lot of success with these settings! It looks great and the lower fps isn’t noticeable considering it’s turn based.

I’m playing with the Steam version, with Proton Experimental and these settings: https://steamdeckhq.com/news/baldurs-gate-3-on-steam-deck-first-impressions/
Beforehand I used CryoUtilities too: https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities
The only tweaks to those are: I didn’t apply the SteamOS setting cause I’m not trying to limit battery usage, and I enabled TAA as the antialisiasing method.
