Just got Ogu and the Secret Forest free via the epic games giveaway. And while it is rated gold on proton and verified for Steam Deck I cannot get it to run properly.
Installed it va Heroic launcher, I can start it but as soon as I start a game it keeps freezing on the loading screen. Left it running for a while, nothing happens. I use Proton experimental for that. But switching Proton didn’t help. I switched to older ones mentioned on ProtonDB, then it just does not start.
Also tried installation with Lutris, doesn’t even start. Anyone who got it running successfully from the Epic games store?
Thanks for all your efforts but somehow it isn’t the same for me. You did mention you have a SSD, that isn’t standard in the Steam Deck or is it? I got an unmodified Steam Deck, so maybe that’s the deciding factor?
I also got the update and it made me hopefully, but no change. I made sure Heroic isn’t running through proton as you said.
There seems to be a “low spec” version available via Steam beta program that could resolve this: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1985960/discussions/2/4516632045452106751/
However this is not available on Epic Games as far as I can tell. I tried setting graphics to low to see if that is it, but also no change. I give up for now but maybe a future update will make it work.
All Steam Decks come with an SSD of varying sizes for their base storage, so you definitely have one. If I remember correctly the original 64GB LCD model had a slower nvme SSD, but all the other models should be similar performance SSD-wise.
Maybe if you have an LCD Deck, and I have an OLED, that was the difference? I know they don’t function much differently in most ways, but I have heard that there are some slight background tech differences between them that have them perform differently in some scenarios.
Can’t say we didn’t try though!
