Celeste Olympus Steam Deck support?

[ashen mirage]

Trying to install this on my deck and It doesn't want to work, i tried adding it as a non-steam game, using wine and bottle which run exe files but nothing is working

[crimson swift]

definitely don't use wine, what happens when you try to install Olympus?

[pseudo anvil]

do you own celeste through steam?

[ashen mirage]

Yes

[ashen mirage]

Nothing, i cant run it

[pseudo anvil]

ok, so you shouldn't need wine at any point
how are you trying to run olympus?

[ashen mirage]

On desktop mode, I downloaded olympus through Firefox

Then i attempted to run the exe

It didnt do anything, but ask if i wanted to use bottle or wine

[pseudo anvil]

you shouldn't be running an exe; you're on linux so you should follow the linux instructions

[sly walrus]

olympus worked perfectly for me on steam deck

[ashen mirage]

Wait, i forgot that steam deck is a linux operating system.... lmao

Sorry guys

Ill report back if i get it working

[ashen mirage]

It wont let me set olypmus as a non steam game

[pseudo anvil]

does olympus work if you just launch it as a standalone application?

[ashen mirage]

It does however i want to be able to play on big screen mode

Not just desktop, ive also tried to get celeste net working and its been a hassle

It doesnt let me type in the chat unless i tab out of celeste first, then press Steam + X

And when i finish typing, I am unable to send a message

This also might be a celeste to steam deck problem but i cant type in a name when i make a new save file either

Unfortunately its pretty unfriendly

Right now, everytime i try to reconnect onto celeste net it says "Interrupted"

[fierce wave]

that's unrelated to the actual issue in the post but huh

could you send your log.txt

i'm afraid i won't be able to help with the chat issues though

[pale thicket]

i have modded celeste working on deck game mode fine

you just use olympus in desktop mode, then once it's installed, just launch celeste normally in game mode

[pale thicket]

this works fine for me in game mode with Steam + X

the issue you're having is probably related to desktop mode

[pale thicket]

this also happens to me on deck sometimes, i just need to keep reconnecting for a couple minutes and it works

[pale thicket]

this should just work with enter on the on-screen keyboard in game mode

lmk if you have any other questions. i've played like 300 hours of modded celeste on deck in game mode lol

[ashen mirage]

Screen transitions are broken in steam deck celeste lol

[ashen mirage]

Yeah, it doesnt on desktop tho which is annoying

Theres a lot of strange quirks that makes it hard to wanna use lol

I tried to play celeste on a second account and it kept all my saves

Which isnt necessarily what i wanted

On my deck

[pale thicket]

uh they are?

not for me

[ashen mirage]

Yeah,

[pale thicket]

how so

[ashen mirage]

Wheneve I walk through a screen transition the game literally freezes

Until your on the next screen

It essentially skips the animation entirely

[pale thicket]

hmm, what mods do you have enabled

[ashen mirage]

Its very jarring

[ashen mirage]

Strawberry jam and spring collab dependencies

[pale thicket]

don't have both enabled at once

that will cause lag

enable as few mods at once as possible

[pale thicket]

this is something that just happens on pc

because the celeste saves files are stored in one consistent location

there are ways to work around it, or you can just deal with having the same saves on both accounts

[ashen mirage]

It also means if i try to play with a friend on my pc and then on the steam deck, our settings are shared

Which is extremely annoying

[pale thicket]

oh i see

[ashen mirage]

So i have a Liquidmod that lets you change the hair color of madeline

Mine is Yellow and his is Orange

The only way ive been able to bypass it was to turn on offline mode on my pc

[pale thicket]

i wonder if there are custom launch options you can use to change the save file location for one account

[ashen mirage]

I havent found anything like that but i would love that

[pale thicket]

you could do it with a script at least

[ashen mirage]

Its werid because we dont have the same mods

[pale thicket]

yeah mods are saved separately

so they dont sync

[ashen mirage]

Yet he has functionality of my infinitesaves

[willow coyote]

it's fixed in the core branch of everest which just runs on a better up to date c# runtime, or if you don't want to do that you can put this mod in your celeste mods folder #1076238966287761418 message

[pale thicket]

oh nice

[ashen mirage]

Oh so this isnt a me problem? Lol

[pale thicket]

im running core branch which helps a lot yeah

[willow coyote]

I'm not sure how that link will look if you're not in the server, it's the strawberry jam server

[ashen mirage]

#Unknown

[pale thicket]

installing core branch on deck is a bit funny but it's well worth it

[ashen mirage]

I dont know what Chapter 8 branch is lol

[pale thicket]

it's just a different version of everest that is more optimized

[willow coyote]

I'm not on steam deck but I'm on desktop linux which is actually a pretty similar system, and I had identical issues to steam deck users

[pale thicket]

yeah i had an issue with it not detecting my dotnet install

but i think i know why now

[ashen mirage]

Honestly steam deck stuff kills me

[pale thicket]

i mean it's very convenient for steam games

but tinkering can be a bit overwhelming and annoying if you're not already a linux user

[ashen mirage]

I have no experience with linux

[pale thicket]

yeah

if you want me to write up a quick guide for installing core branch on deck i can

[ashen mirage]

I dont think i can handle instaling evervest again

[willow coyote]

I just installed dotnet-runtime with pacman (less hassle than on steam deck) and it ran with zero issues

[ashen mirage]

It took me 6 hours

[pale thicket]

yes but you can't use pacman on deck

(easily, at least)

it has an immutable filesystem

which makes it funny

[willow coyote]

ye just edited to account for that fact

[pale thicket]

it should just be downloading olympus and clicking install

and updating to core is pretty much that but you have to install dotnet first

which is a couple terminal commands

[willow coyote]

also you could disable steam cloud for celeste which would make it stop the syncing I think. In steam, celeste settings -> general -> keep games saves in the Steam Cloud

[pale thicket]

that is true

[willow coyote]

I also used liquid mod for a long time but now I use hyperline. It's more feature rich and can also do what liquid mod does just as easily

[ashen mirage]

It seems cool, Is it easier to use?

[ashen mirage]

That is a good idea, ill test it

[willow coyote]

I think it's like just slightly more effort to change the colors, but pretty much the same

[pale thicket]

basically this is the series of commands you'll have to run to install dotnet for the core branch of everest on steam deck:

1. wget https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.sh -O dotnet-install.sh (downloads dotnet installer)
2. chmod +x ./dotnet-install.sh (mark dotnet installer as a program)
3. ./dotnet-install.sh --channel 7.0 --runtime dotnet (install dotnet)
4. echo -e "\n\nexport DOTNET_ROOT=\$HOME/.dotnet\nexport PATH=\$PATH:\$DOTNET_ROOT:\$DOTNET_ROOT/tools\n" >> ~/.bashrc (tells olympus/everest where to find dotnet)

[willow coyote]

because you first have to enter a submenu to change the color and press left and right to switch between settings of a specific dash count

[ashen mirage]

Ill take a look at it

[pale thicket]

then after this, you should just be able to open olympus and install the latest build marked "core"

that will help with performance

[ashen mirage]

Is there a way to customize 5 , 6, 7 + hair colors?

[willow coyote]

I think yes, I can check

[ashen mirage]

Im going to copy paste this and try it when i have the energy lol, thanks, and ill report for any trouble shootig probably

[pale thicket]

okay good luck

im happy to help with any issues you run into

[willow coyote]

yeah up to 9 dash hair color
