Thank you so much! <3
Has anyone got this fully running on Steamdeck?
I can launch GI just fine with the guide in the OP but it doesnāt recognize any controller inputs, launching with or without big picture.
Does your controller work when you run Grim Dawn without GI on Steamdeck? Sorry for possibly a stupid question.
Yeah, GD works fine on my Steamdeck without launching GrimInternals. But I need that sweet speed modifier
Iām launching GI in Steam via non-Steam Game shortcut as outlined. Some of the things Iāve tried:
- With the default/suggested controller layout and a customized one
- Launching in ānormalā steam deck mode (instead of Desktop mode)
- Enabling Generic Controller Support as well as Xbox controller support (separately)
- Ticking (and un-ticking) the āEnable Non-Steam Gamepadā in game.
The only actions I can perform in-game are using the touch screen to move the cursor over menu items, and then clicking the right track pad to send a click.
Base Grim Dawn (without GI) otherwise works correctly on SteamDeck and I also play with a controller regularly on my Windows PC so Iām at a loss for how to fix this.
Grim Internals on Steamdeck SOLVED
Someone on reddit suggested this so not taking any credit but Iāll detail the steps here. Make sure Grim Dawn has āEnable non-steam Gamepadā ticked in-game.
- Install Grim Dawn as normal on your Steamdeck, follow the Linux installation steps as outlined in the OP here. Youāll need to switch to Desktop Mode (Hold power for 5 seconds, click Desktop Mode)
To get controller support working, youāll need GEProton (tl;dr a slightly more up-to-date version of Proton)
- Open Discover on your Steamdeck, search for ProtonUp
- Once downloaded, launch, click Add Version and then select the latest verison of GEProton under Compatibility Tool, then click Install
- Make sure Steam is closed (close it in the system tray)
- Click GEProton in the list and click Show Game List
- Under Grim Dawn change the Compatibility Tool to GE-Proton and hit apply
- Relaunch Steam
- Click the shortcut on the top left of the desktop to return to Game Mode
- Locate your run_grim_dawn.sh Game title in your Steam Library which you should have added during the GrimInternals installation process, press the menu button, and then under Properties > Compatibility choose GE-Proton
Youāre now ready to launch Grim Dawn via Grim Internals, but youāll get a black screen/permanent load screen. This is because when you launch via this shortcut in game mode it launches GI before GD. Press the Steam button to bring up the Steam menu, switch from the run_grim_dawn.sh to Grim Dawn itself to get in-game.
Now to actually bring up the configurator, youāll need to re-bind some one of your buttons to ctrl+F5:
- Press the Steam button > Grim Dawn (should be already selected ) > Controller Settings > Click the controller settings button on the bottom
- Change something like L4 to Control Key + F5. To do this, bind it first to Control, then click the gear icon > add sub command, F5.
- Press that button in-game and that should switch you to the configurator.
Actually using the configurator is still a bit screwy for me, the drop-down menus for teleporters and affixes donāt seem to work properly, but you can still adjust the game speed, disable fog, configure your DPS meters, set auto loot pickups and all the other good stuff GI can do. Clicking exit at the top left should throw you back in-game.
I also donāt seem to have sound in-game but thatās less of a dealbreaker and can maybe be fixed later.
PS: Since youāll need to disable cloud saves, I recommend downloading Winpinator on your windows PC and Warpinator on your Steamdeck to transfer your save folder from one device to another. Hereās where theyāre located without Cloud Saves:
Windows:
- C:\Users[YOURUSER]\Documents\My Games\Grim Dawn
Linux/Steamdeck:
- /home/deck/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/219990/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/My Games/Grim Dawn
Iām trying to download this list but it says that the disk is full, would you have another download link??
Thank you very much
Did you check in the Q&A to see if thereās a way to fix it?
Change ScaleFactor
in GrimInternals.ini to whatever you have set it Windows as a scaling factor.
For example I have
ScaleFactor=1.25
instead of the usual 1.00 Your probably bigger than 1.25
Sorry about not reading it first. It works perfectly now with scale factor 2.0 (my resolution is unusually big on laptop)
Hi, I am a new player.
I want to use this mod, but after putting everything into grimdawn file, it still shows me this.
I reinstalled everything twice, but nothing changes.
Is there anything I missed that could cause this issue?
I am using steam version, and it is the latest patch (1.1.9.6).
Also, I have stopped cloud saving.
looks like you maybe downloaded the wrong grim internals version?
there are 2, one for 9.7 playtest another for 9.6 official/active,
select the right download and try install again perhaps?
that link takes you to a post with 2 different downloads
since your screenshots says āPTā in the error, iām suspecting you downloaded the playtest version (bottom one in gerdaās post), which is for 9.7 beta patch, not the 9.6 official/active
What a stupid mistake I have made. Thank for your help! Everything works for me now.
How does this tool access skill cooldowns? Iāve been trying to figure out how to make skill cooldown reduction apply to item skills, but lua scripts donāt seem to be able to see cooldowns, and dbr editing doesnāt allow for dynamic skill recharge or accessing the playerās CDR.
Such things are part of the gameās engine and are not moddable like that.
The tool is like a trainer - reads cooldowns from the gameās process like youād do with Cheat Engine.
well, Iām not good enough with CE to have it do anything like this. how can I get this tool to do it? it seems to already know how to access skill cooldowns. is there source code for it somewhere that I can tweak? do I just ask the author to add it as a feature and hope it happens eventually?
I stepped away from GD shorting after the current patch dropped, but I had both the game and GI updated to the current version. I try firing the game up today, and itāll load, Iāll be able to rotate my character, but I canāt click on any of the menu buttons on either side of the screen.
The same things happens when I start the game through Steam.
The only noteworthy thing I can think of is that I was playing the game on one tv while having the desktop running on another. So made some resolution issue pop-up that I canāt find.
Thoughts?
Go to Windows options for display scaling. Lower it back down to 100% and you should find your problem fixed.
