Has anyone had any success getting this game to run on the Steam Deck? I have been trying for a few days, but I still have a lot to learn about Linux, so I haven't had any success :(

What is happening?

Hdkronke2 years ago

I've installed the Linux version through the itch app, just like any other game, but it won't play after pressing launch. It gives me the error message: "Exit code 0x7f(127) for (franken)". Tried the regular and the 64-bit version, but i get the same issue.

Open the terminal and type ./franken while in the game directory. What output does it give?

try typing :

sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys

Then try installing sdl2 again like before.

Thanks @Shahroz. I got it working. The Steam Deck has a read only mode by default for the system files. https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/671A-4453-E8D2-323C and they warn installing via pacman may be overwritten in future Steam OS updates.

But running the Windows version via Proton works beautifully. Appreciate the help.

Try running it as a non-Steam game so that you get the Steam Runtime, which will have SDL2. You won’t be able to install anything through pacman because SteamOS is immutable.

Thanks for your reply. I figured this out.

I wanted to update this thread for anyone who was trying to get this working. You can download the Windows version, and then set it as a Non-Steam app, and with Proton, and it works great.
