The games setting page says clearly you need a AMD RX460 or greater, which is more powerful then that of the steam deck, then add the fact proton is a emulation layer it not going to work even if you install W10 on the deck it is not powerful enough to run a lot of AAA titles like this one. Also if the game still uses Codemasters own race Engine it is known to be very demanding on GPU's even at 1080p on a 1070 you'll have to make compromises, what is funny is the very original Grid of 10 year or so ago had similar freezing out on steam.

You mean translation layer. WINE literally stands for wine is not an emulator

@@lukenowlandfilms I personally always thought Wine Is not an Emulator was a Linux back handed sarcasm, but after looking up the difference between the two I am now educated, Personally they both share similarities so I also call them both emulator before now as technically a Layer emulates the Windows API's but are not using the official DX12 code, Emulating I now know is a hardware layer, while a compatibility is copying the software on hardware the same like in a VM. As for the 800p making the performance up lift that is right to a point. Is it possible the game don't support such low resolution's well. Is it made of the Codemasters Engine or have EA ruined it? The original Grid hated certain screen types. also didn't go above 720p without a memory mod. Games will break as they are updated as the game will change with updates. One of the losses of Codemasters selling out to EA is they often built Linux native version of the Games like Grid Autosport and Dirty Rally etc. EA will not entertain Native Linux games. That why I myself am a bit Ying-Yang when it come to proton. It is great but why will anyone now Make Linux native games if Windows one port via Proton. It is the same with my DJ gear many people use Wine but I will keep on pushing for them to build a Linux version with Controller sound Cards drivers baken in like of Windows Version, I can run it wine but latency on live music is key and both the Mac OS layer or Wine just are not tight enough for a live performance. It why Next buy is a gaming laptop for £790 currently with a 3050 ti in it. Because Windows Gaming is just better some times and I need my DJ gear to now be mobile. As for my last Windows rig it is broken down and getting sold of this week hoping to upgrade my Linux Rig from a 2200G to a 5600G or maybe after the 4th a 5700G if the price is right. Intel 12th are appealing but I biased to AMD as we all understand they support us more than Intel do. I old so I like to play 2D games and light indie games so Vega 8 is fine for me, but the 2200G compute is utter crap, last program I had to make because a RPM or Flatpack was unavailable, and I hate Snaps and App images it took me over 3.5 hour to build the Mac OS project and compile their github code. Haven't done any Pro coding since 2005 when I wrote and finished my First and last Python program (Crappy language I like old skool C and Basic the best). Thankfully since moving to Linux 5 years ago now I haven't brought any Windows only games on steam and all my games are DX11 and never get updated anymore which is good as I used to spend silly money on new AAA titles.

OH, also proton is not an emulation layer :) It's built from WINE, which literally stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator.

This pretty much. Steam Deck renders to a much lower resolution. Additionally, performance in the game when I tried it in the initial tutorial race was actually really good. Games hard-locking is completely different to performance.

Steam deck is very comparable to the RX460, often beating it in most verified games. On top of that, minimum requirements for pc games are made with 1080p resolution in mind. The Steam Deck can play games with higher min requirements because it only has to render to a 800p display.

I was wondering about racing games on the Deck. Thanks for sharing.

I'm at home most of the time now or sleeping on the train before COVID. I will never need to play on a portable system. Xbox Series X and my old trusty PS4 Pro which I am playing Grid Legends smoothly. What a racing game it is, just enjoying the hell out of it. Good luck to you!

Much more interested in Autosport and 2019. Hopefully they can hit 60 FPS.

Let's hope that the Devs acknowledge this problem, and working on a fix/patch right away.

Absolutely. The more games that work, the better.

Seems you have 9 hours played. So does Grid legends let you "Deck" at least in single player mode?

[ 2022-03-31 13:19:41Z ] 👍 0

That's 9 hours left, this was an EA Play trial.

I was going to buy this as its on sale but now after watching this i'll wait until we get a fix as I'm gaming more on my Steam Deck than my gaming laptop.

Soooo quick question: Did you buy the game on Steam and got it working through your guide to install Origin, or did you install Origin, start that and download the game from inside Origin? Because no matter what i did, the Sims just wants to install Origin on start-up :/.

@@catsinbed7634 I honestly don't remember for Grid Legends but it loaded up. As the video shows this, it's unplayable.

@@gamingonlinux And it doesn't require Origin to start or does it? Thank you for answering man!

This game was directly from Steam.

ironically that is about as far as I got with another GRID game on desktop. Loaded into a race, drove for a second and frozen... everytime.

setting steam os to beta seems to fix the crashes

I've spent a few hours with Grid Legends on my Steam Deck and my observations : 1, Driver out of date msg is 100%, click to continue. 2, EA services unavailable is 100%, click to continue. If I leave the game on ultra low settings (Default), the game runs 60fps smooth with zero crashes, any other setting choice crashes every race. I'm guessing that its the recording hardware you have plugged in thats complicating your experience and causing your crashes if my above statement is 100% your experience. Try the game without any external hardware plugged in to the deck, see if the crashes vanish for you?

It is absolutely nothing to do with the recording, as it's done with a capture card. GRID Legends was very broken at the time of recording. Many other people reported the same issues on Steam Deck and Desktop. For Steam Deck, recent updates have improved it.

I played it many hours on high settings and i had never a problem. Only the message with the driver has to click away.

This is a month old video...

Sorry if my voice over wasn't the quality it usually is, this was recording live in OBS. The first intro race worked, but also crashed at the end. Changing graphics settings makes it quit, and then crashes instantly at the start of a race too. One to miss.
